Life can feel overwhelming, with unexpected challenges, endless opinions, and daily pressures. You can’t control the chaos but can control how you think and respond.

Epictetus reminds us:

“The good or bad in life isn’t in the events themselves but in how we choose to see and act on them.”

Steadiness doesn’t come from avoiding problems or running from noise. It comes from clarity: using reason to align your judgments and focus on what you can control.

Crooked thinking leads to frustration, but clear thinking brings calm and direction.

Today, ask yourself:

• Am I reacting impulsively, or am I choosing my response?
• How can I bring more clarity and calm to my decisions?
