Amor Fati: https://dailystoic.com/amor-fati/
“slow moments are common after a period of serious growth they should not be feared but embraced as opportunities to get to know the new you as you mature, you release so many layers that you sometimes change radically, and your mind and body feel like a new home slow moments are for renewal and integration of recent lessons learned but a slow pace often finds a way to test how you have grown; this is an important time to observe your progress and notice where you need further work” - yung pueblo (Diego Perez) - Clarity and Connection, Page 173
“Well-being is realized by small steps, but is truly no small thing.” - Zeno (Source: https://dailystoic.com/remember-little-things-are-not-small/)
