Today’s Stoic
It is not in my power to avoid what befalls me, but it is in my power to make good use of it.
What it means today
What happens is not chosen; what you do with it is. The whole of Stoic practice is in that second half: taking the unchosen and putting it to use.
Try this todayTake one thing that befell you today and put it to some use, however small.
