Tranquility

"In Seneca’s essay on tranquility, he uses the Greek word euthymia, which he defines as “believing in yourself and trusting that you are on the right path, and not being in doubt by following the myriad footpaths of those wandering in every direction.” It is this state of mind, he says, that produces tranquility." [Holiday, Ryan; Hanselman, Stephen. The Daily Stoic (p. 23). Kindle Edition]

In Luke 9:23 (NIV) Jesus said, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." Note to self: it's the 'following' that counts, don't fret about divisiveness in the church!
