“The more we value things outside our control, the less control we have.” – Epictetus
Epictetus was a Greek Stoic philosopher who lived from 50-135 AD. He believed that the key to a happy life was to focus on what we can control and accept what we cannot control. This quote emphasizes the importance of not becoming attached to things that are beyond our control, as it will only lead to feelings of frustration and helplessness.
