The person you are matters most than the place to which you go
Pg.43 : Letter from a Stoic
Seneca says this :
You wonder hither and thither
To rid yourself of the burden upon
Though its more trouble by your restlessness
Just as in a ship, the cargo when stationary makes no trouble
When it shifts this side or that
Causes the vessel to heel more quickly in which it slides
You hurt yourself by your very unrest
For you are shaky as a sickman!
My note:
Become the person you are
Not by seeking the place, position, possession and primacy!
Seeking solace in the soul
