If you haven’t already, I recommend reading Seneca’s “On The Shortness of Life,” it has possibly the highest value-to-word ratio. “Life is long if you know how to use it… But life is very short and anxious for those who forget the past, neglect the present, and fear the future”

Seneca, a Stoic philosopher, offers his view on how to live successfully and happily (by being in the moment and not worrying about the past or future since there is nothing you can do about either), the importance of reason and morality and provides timeless wisdom which is just as relevant today as it was millennia ago.
