"Amor fati" is a Stoic concept that means "love of fate" or embracing everything that happens, including the difficulties and challenges of life. One famous quote that reflects this idea is by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche:
"My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it—all idealism is mendacity in the face of what is necessary—but love it."
In Stoicism, the idea is to accept and even love the circumstances that life presents, believing that everything, both good and bad, contributes to personal growth and fulfillment.
