Today’s Stoic
Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.
Epictetus · Enchiridion
What it means today

Do everything you can with what you control, then release the outcome. The second half is as important as the first; clinging to results you cannot force only adds suffering.

Try this todayToday, do your honest best on one uncertain thing, then deliberately stop rehearsing the outcome.
