Should I step into a story that glimpses into the future & watch as fate unfolds, or one that relives the past in a time loop?🔮

'Spectrum,' is an anthology of short horror stories by autistic authors and writers. I've only read a couple so far, but I enjoy finding #philosophical shit like this sprinkled within. The first story made me squirm a LOT, but I did enjoy this quote.

So I just completed the Aleph and I really don't know how to comprehend it. It's my 3rd book of Coelho's and I loved the previous ones but not this. With the description of the book, I expected something more on faith and spirituality which the 1st part of book is, but then it shifts to past lifes and I was lost.I wonder if it's because this book was too early for me or just that it may not be as exceptional as the others🤷🏻♀️. Any thoughts?
pickLovely little gem added to my Stoicism collection!

According to ancient Eastern thinking, to live a fulfilling life, you must do three
things: have a son, write a book and plant a tree. By doing so, the thinking goes,
you will have three legacies that will live on long after you die.
First, he advises, a walk should never have a specific purpose. Rather
than having a destination, you should simply immerse yourself in the beauty of
the walk itself. Second, you must never take your worries with you on the walk.
Leave them at home, for if you don‘t, they will become even more deeply rooted
in your mind by the end of the walk. And finally, be fully aware. Train yourself
to pay complete attention to the sights, sounds and smells.
“God, give us the grace to accept with serenity the
things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be
changed, and the wisdom to distinguish one from the other.”
It's not what you are that is holding
you back in life. It‘s what you think you‘re not. It is what is going on in your
inner world that is preventing you from having all that you want. And the
moment you fully understand this insight and set about ridding your mind of all
its limiting thoughts, you will see almost immediate improvements in your
personal circumstances.
As Seneca observed, “It is not
because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that
they are difficult.”
The British statesman Benjamin Disraeli once said, “Nurture your mind with
great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think.”
