And in putting in time and effort on this woman nothing came of it and I made a mistake, I wasted my time. But! Thanks be to god for these past couple of days because I have learned! I have Grown from this error. Something I remember a ignorant rapper saying was this, you can never fail because every failure is a lesson and therefore you are always winning. While he may be ignorant and flaunt wealth that he doesn&#8217;t have what he said was very wise and I&#8217;m using that mindset today. You will fail, such is life. But think to yourself Amor Fati. I am thankful for this situation in my life as I will use this as another opportunity to grow. The worst period of my life was my first technical school in the military. I missed my family so bad and I felt as though I had made a terrible decision in enlisting. I grew tremendously! Tremendously! Tremendously! I wouldn&#8217;t be the young man I am today if It weren&#8217;t for that pain! I discovered stoicism in that time and in this time I discovered that women should never cloud your mind more then &#8220;standing on your business.&#8221; haha, that was a quote from one of my good friends. Be grateful for everything in this short life, and especially your shortcomings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/themalejourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Blog-image-Stoic-thinking-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;width:422px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themalejourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Blog-image-Stoic-thinking-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/themalejourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Blog-image-Stoic-thinking-1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/themalejourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Blog-image-Stoic-thinking-1-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/themalejourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Blog-image-Stoic-thinking-1-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The impediment to action advances action.
