How can I journal with this quote when I’m scared my career is over after a setback?

Use the quote to separate endings from renewal. Try this short entry: 1) Name the flowers: list what ended (a role, project, expectation). 2) Name the spring: list 3 capacities that remain (skills, relationships, values). 3) Control vs. accept: write one sentence for what’s in your control this week and one for what you’ll accept as outside it. 4) One small action: pick a 10–15 minute step that moves you forward. 5) Reframe: complete this line—“Even after this, I can still…” In the Stoic app, make this a brief daily reflection to rebuild confidence through consistency.

What quick prompts can I use to stop overthinking the future using this quote?

Try a 5-minute “Spring check” entry: • What ‘flowers’ am I clinging to that are naturally ending? • What signs of renewal have I noticed today (however small)? • What outcome am I trying to control that I can instead prepare for? • What is the next tiny step (under 10 minutes) I can take now? • If spring is inevitable, how would I act today with 5% more trust? Open Stoic, pick one or two prompts per day, and rotate them so you keep momentum without spiraling into analysis.

How do I build a daily reflection around this quote in the Stoic app to stay hopeful during a rough season?

Create a simple structure you can repeat: Morning: 1) Intention—“What quality do I want to water today?” 2) One action—state a small, concrete task. Evening: 3) Evidence of spring—note 3 signs of progress or support. 4) Letting go—write one thing you’ll stop trying to control. 5) Self-kindness—one sentence you’d say to a friend. Using Stoic as your journaling companion, keep each entry short. Consistency lets the quote become a daily lens for renewal rather than a one-time boost.
