Anguish arises from the judgment     We make of the things around us     It&#39;s not the facts, but the meaning     We give them, with such rigor     Our uncontrolled mind    Is the origin of all affliction     We create monsters out of nothing     And we get lost in confusion     Reality is neutral and serene     It doesn&#39;t cause anguish or pain     It&#39;s the thoughts that condemn     And imprison us in an inner prison     Let go of erroneous judgments     Be present in the here and now     It&#39;s the key to calming anxieties     And finding the peace that is so often explored

In this life of stumbling    Blaming others is just deception     Finding faults in friends    Doesn&#39;t resolve disappointment          Family doesn&#39;t create chaos     Nor does society     Peace resides in the soul    Love is the foundation I see          Recognizing my part is the beginning     Releasing the pain and moving forward with ease     Responsibility gives me direction     To happiness for sure

Life is divided into an endless game     What I control is here within me     Thoughts fly like birds in the air     Actions I take make me dream          But the world outside slips out of my hand     Hearts change like the seasons     What others do I cannot predict     Let anxiety flow in the wind          I choose what I can hold    What we control is our home     And the rest I let the river carry     I will sail with the current          It&#39;s a dance between chaos and desire     Each step is a chance to learn     I will float on the tides of destiny     Accepting what I cannot change          I do not suffer from the winds that will come     I find peace in my decision     The Universe It goes as it should go     And here inside I know where to go          I choose what I can hold    What we control is our home     And the rest I let the river carry     I will sail with the current

The Stoicism in Music channel broadcasts Stoic music, based on developing the ability to cope with life's circumstances.

Music shapes human behavior. It is, therefore, a powerful tool for integrating Stoic habits and distinguishing what we control, such as thoughts and actions, from what we don't, such as the behavior of others and external events.

Stoic music challenges the mind to be present in the here and now, with clear messages on how to guide our interpretations of the world.

Welcome to Stoicism in Music. Here, each episode is an invitation to serenity. We combine the teachings of Stoic sages—such as Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius—with soundscapes that awaken reflection, inner strength, and balance. Prepare to immerse yourself in timeless thoughts, guided by music that calms the mind and awakens the spirit.
