6-Sept
Be careful whom you associate with. It is human to imitate the habits of those with whom we interact. We inadvertently adopt their interests, their opinions, their values, and their habit of interpreting events.
– Epictetus

Stop aspiring to be anyone other than your own best self: for that does fall within your control.
-Epictetus
20-Aug
Stick with your purpose. Do not seek external approval. Do not worry about anything outside of your control. The only things you command are your thoughts and actions. We choose our response.
-Epictetus
16-Aug
Freedom and happiness come from understanding – and working with – our limits. Begin at once a program of self-mastery.
-Epictetus
12-Aug
Wisdom means understanding without any doubt that circumstances do not rise to meet our expectations. Events happen as they may. People behave as they will.
-Epictetus
8-Aug
When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it. It is not the things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance. Things and people are not what we wish them to be nor are they what they seem to be. They are what they are.
-Epictetus
