This is the zen practice of bare recognition:
"we don’t hang on to anything passing through our mind,
and we don’t try to get rid of it, either."

I've read and follow both the Tao and the Stoics, and they both teach essentially the same things. Live for the moment, practice patience, be empathetic, take time to rest your mind.
if you have particular quotations at hand, i'd be interested in reading them.

"True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future."
Seneca
He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.
Laozi
Love the whole world as if it were your self; then you will truly care for all things.
Laozi
“Follow where reason leads.”
Zeno
Your turn. 😉
