On control

Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion — in a word, whatever are our own actions.

Epictetus · Enchiridion 1

What it means

Spend your energy only on what you can actually move: your own choices. The rest is weather.

Carry it today

Name one thing in your control today and one outside it. Act only on the first.
