This quote, by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, is one of our favourites. Marcus Aurelius was a keen student of the school of Stoicism which teaches us that destructive emotions like fear, anger, worry etc arise from our own errors in judgement, such as placing expectations on others, which we can never control. We have found the basic principles of Stoicism very helpful in learning to cope with the daily tests thrown up from living with IBD, and you may too. For a ‘quick start’ introduction try Seneca’s ‘Letters From A Stoic’ #dailyquote #ibd #strength #invisibleillness #ostomy #crohns #colitis #crohnsfighter #crohnsgirl #ileostomy #ostomy
