Sheepdog Tip of the Day, Before Combat tip 151
Epictetus (the Stoic philosopher) said in the Enchiridion, Some things are in our control and others not. He went on to say, Things not in our control are body,property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions. His meaning is that we do not get to choose if we will be 6 feet tall or 5 feet tall; we do not get to control if we are born into wealth or poverty; we have no say in how others will interpret our actions. What we do control are the choices we make and how we will respond to the actions of others and to the circumstances we are faced with.
