Control What You Can

Welcome to The Inspired Teacher Podcast!In today's episode, we're diving into a powerful reminder inspired by a passage from Epictetus, highlighted in Ryan Holiday's The Daily Stoic. This timeless piece of wisdom encourages us to focus on what we can control and let go of what we can't. I stumbled upon this passage during a particularly challenging moment in our wrestling season, and it struck me how perfectly it applies to teaching. As educators, we constantly face situations beyond our control, from student behavior to administrative changes. Today, let's explore how we can shift our focus to what we can influence, and find greater resilience and peace in our daily lives.
