True serenity comes from controlling what’s yours and releasing what isn’t.
Epictetus reminds us:
“Happiness lies in focusing on your choices and surrendering the rest.”
Anchor your day with these reflections:
- Morning: Identify what’s within your control. Let go of the rest.
- Midday: Your greatest power is your ability to choose. No one can take that from you.
- Afternoon: The world moves beyond your influence. Act wisely, but don’t cling to outcomes.
- Evening: Reflect on where your choices end and life takes over. Peace comes from acceptance, not control.
- Night: Surrender to sleep, trusting its ease. Prepare to begin again tomorrow.
Ask yourself:
- Am I clinging to what I can’t control?
- How can I refocus on what’s truly mine?
