Contemplations of stoicism

You'll never get to experience the depth of the still water until you're submerged. The iceberg of the mind... There are no mistakes, only lessons manifesting in various degrees of challenge. Adversity is the crucible through which character is shaped. Let my equanimity be mistaken for indifference, as my tolerance is for acceptance. Because the mountain piercing the heavens is actually a dormant volcano.
