I'm about to be in a situation where I need to be as stoic

Seneca, but not that "letteers from a Stoic" meme, go for "on the shortness of life" and "on happiness" instead.

You will hear many men saying: “After my fiftieth year I shall retire into leisure, my sixtieth year shall
release me from public duties.” And what guarantee, pray, have you that your life will last longer? Who
will suffer your course to be just as you plan it? Are you not ashamed to reserve for yourself only the
remnant of life, and to set apart for wisdom only that time which cannot be devoted to any business?
How late it is to begin to live just when we must cease to live! What foolish forgetfulness of mortality to
postpone wholesome plans to the fiftieth and sixtieth year, and to intend to begin life at a point to which
few have attained!

damn
