97. Focus on what is up to you, the rest may or may not come

from Stoic Meditations · host Massimo Pigliucci

Epictetus clearly states one of the fundamental principles of Stoicism: the dichotomy of control. Once we realize that some things are up to us and other things aren't, it follows that we should focus on the first ones and cultivate equanimity toward the latter ones.
