Amor fati

Love of fate: to treat what happens as material to work with rather than to resist.

What it commits you to

Amor fati is the Stoic reframing of involuntary things: the event is fixed, and the only remaining question is what you will do with it. Nietzsche picked it up as the eternal recurrence test — whether you could will your life exactly as it happened. It is a disposition, and dispositions have to be trained before they are needed, which is what makes it an argument for rehearsal rather than for good intentions.
