Nice article, currently reading 'The power of now' by Eckhart Tolle which has essentially the same message, but with more depth and spirituality. Never considered myself spiritual up until now, as life definitely seems easier following the present path.

Anybody with tips or exchanges with regards to Stoicism or other fields such as Bhuddism? I have the feeling it also has these concepts but I am very new with all this.

Marcus Aurealius' Meditations is a good way to dip your toes in the water of Stoicism.

It has a bit of pop culture sheen to it presently but the content is still quality.

Huh. I've read a number of books on stoicism and mindfulness/buddhism, but I've never gotten far with Tolle. He just falls flat for me.
