Control and Choice

 

As per Ryan Holiday, “most important practice in Stoic philosophy is differentiating between what we can change and what we can’t."

What we have influence over and what we do not.

 

A flight is delayed because of weather—no amount of yelling at an airline representative will end a storm.

 

No amount of wishing will make you taller or shorter or born in a different country.

 

No matter how hard you try, you can’t make someone like you.”

 

Excerpt From: Holiday, Ryan. “The Daily Stoic.” Apple Books. 



The above, are eye-openers, jaw-dropping realities that one must really really consider as you journey this life. To echo what the legendary Stoic, Epictetus - mentioned...

Lesson: Identify, separate and choose - what you can control and not.
