Some things are within our power, while others are not. Within our power are opinion, motivation, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever is of our own doing; not within our power are our body, our property, reputation, office, and, in a word, whatever is not of our own doing.\n\n\u2014 Epictetus\n\nOne topic that I revisit on the podcast repeatedly is how important it is to control the things that we can\u2019 and let go of the things that we can\u2019t. For me, this is one of the most important lessons we can learn in our lives. In this episode, I want to talk about how we be more mindful of what we can, and what we cannot control.
