#381 Epictetus & Choices
Inspired by: EpictetusDiscuss this Big Idea in the Forums!
"We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them."
~ Epictetus from The Enchiridion
That's a (very) powerful statement. (From a former Roman slave, btw.)
ALL the great teachers remind us that the only thing we can ever truly control is our response to a situation.
May we all choose those responses wisely.
