50 - No Need to Envy Others

Published: Feb. 27, 2018, 4:17 p.m.

\u201cWhen you confine yourself to only those things that are under your control, you cannot be defeated. Don\u2019t be fooled by outward appearances. People with more prestige, power, or some other distinction are not necessarily happier because of what they have. There is no reason to be envious or jealous of anyone. If you lead a rational life, the good lies within you. Our concern should be our freedom, not titles and prestigious positions. The way to freedom is not to be too concerned about things we don\u2019t control.\u201d -Epictetus
