We like to think that we are in control of our lives, but we continue to let our emotions ride a roller coaster, depending on what happens with us. If something bad happens, we have to be sad. If something good happens soon after, we're excited.

Stoicism helps us to manage and think through our emotional reactions. It makes our circumstances easier to bear.
However, we should ask ourselves if we should be in that specific situation in the first place. Is this really the environment you were made for? Is this really the life you want? Don't be afraid to make a change.
