Today’s Stoic
“You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
What it means today
The world will keep doing its own thing. Your response to it is the one thing no one can take from you. Most of our distress comes from trying to control the uncontrollable and forgetting the part that is ours.
Try this todayWhen something frustrates you today, pause and name one thing you can control and one you cannot. Give your energy only to the first.
Today’s questionWhat am I spending energy trying to control that I actually cannot?
