With inspiration from a @hodlonaut lecture. To quote Epictetus Enchiridion: - β€œSome things are up to us and some things are not up to us.” - β€œIt’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.” - β€œDon’t seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do; and your life will go well.” - β€œIt is not things themselves that disturb us, but our opinions about them.” - β€œWhen someone irritates you, realize that the problem lies in you.” - β€œIf you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.” - β€œNo man is free who is not master of himself.” - β€œRemember that you are an actor in a play, the character of which is determined by the Playwright. If He wants it short, it is short; if long, it is long. If He wants you to play the part of a beggar, remember to act even this role well; the same if it be that of a cripple, a ruler, or a private citizen. For your business is to act well the given role, but to choose it belongs to another.” image nevent1qqsvq6yzt0weqy6k6eucjqxqfy4m8uvh7ysmdepmgdcuyl9xs7em9wspz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcu95n8z
