Epictetus & The Dichotomy of Control | STOICISM Full video: https://youtu.be/p2KHo95QknkIf we only focus on what we can control, and let go of everything else, then nothing outside of ourselves can harm us. Now, the question arises: what exactly lies within our control, and what doesn’t? Here’s what Epictetus stated in the first chapter of the Enchiridion, and I quote:“Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions.”#epictetus #stoicism #stoic Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5star for new episodes.
