“ Seek not that the things which happen should happen as you wish; but wish the things which happen to be as they are, and you will have a tranquil flow of life.

— Epictetus

The serenity trick: stop trying to edit reality before it happens, and start adjusting your wishes to what already arrived. It sounds like surrender but acts like strategy. Flow follows.
