Daily Stoic 🗿We should always be asking ourselves: ‘Is this something that is, or is not, in my control?’ — Epictetus<a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoic</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoicism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Epictetus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Epictetus</a>

Daily Stoic 🗿Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems. — Epictetus<a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoic</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoicism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Epictetus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Epictetus</a>

Daily Stoic 🗿The true man is revealed in difficult times. So when trouble comes, think of yourself as a wrestler whom God, like a trainer, has paired with a tough young buck. For what purpose? To turn you into Olympic-class material. — Epictetus<a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoic</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoicism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Epictetus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Epictetus</a>

Daily Stoic 🗿People are not disturbed by things, but by the views they take of them. — Epictetus<a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoic</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoicism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Epictetus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Epictetus</a>

Daily Stoic 🗿Now is the time to get serious about living your ideals. How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be? Your nobler self cannot wait any longer. Put your principles into practice – now. Stop the excuses and the procrastination. This is your life!…Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do – now. — Epictetus<a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoic</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoicism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Epictetus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Epictetus</a>

Daily Stoic 🗿To accuse others for one’s own misfortune is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one’s education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one’s education is complete. — Epictetus<a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoic</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoicism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Epictetus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Epictetus</a>

Daily Stoic 🗿Difficulty shows what men are. Therefore when a difficulty falls upon you, remember that God, like a trainer of wrestlers, has matched you with a rough young man. Why? So that you may become an Olympic conqueror; but it is not accomplished without sweat. — Epictetus<a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoic</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoicism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Epictetus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Epictetus</a>

Daily Stoic 🗿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 actions. — Epictetus<a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoic</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoicism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Epictetus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Epictetus</a>

Daily Stoic 🗿That’s why the philosophers warn us not to be satisfied with mere learning, but to add practice and then training. For as time passes we forget what we learned and end up doing the opposite, and hold opinions the opposite of what we should. — Epictetus<a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoic</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stoicism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Epictetus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Epictetus</a>

Gregory B SadlerWe've been having a discussion over at the Stoa Nova about how to interpret what looks like a really harsh doctrine in Epictetus' Enchiridion.
