Epictetus - Wikipedia

Epictetus taught that philosophy is a way of life and not simply a theoretical discipline. To Epictetus, all external events are beyond our control; he argues that we should accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately. However, he held that individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline.

• Focus only on what you control.
  Thoughts, actions, and choices—these are yours. Everything else? Let it go.
  
  
• Events don’t disturb you—your judgments do.
  Reframe your perception, and you change your experience.
  
  
• Accept fate.
  Don’t just endure what happens—embrace it as part of your training.
  
  
• Desire nothing external.
  True freedom comes when you stop needing things outside your control to go your way.
  
  
• Live with virtue.
  Wisdom, courage, justice, and self-control are the only true goods—build your life on them.

Your power lies within. What would a Stoic choose to think or do today?
