In life you can sometimes feel stuck. What came before is done. It seems like there’s nothing ahead of you. Or perhaps you have a goal or dream but you don’t see how to get there from where you are; your progress is halted.

I’m just unencumbered with the fear of death. This is one of the great gifts of Stoic freedom.
