222 - Power Over Your Mind

ERICK CLOWARD
About this episode
You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
—Marcus Aurelius

Having a clear idea of what we can and can't control is the most fundamental principle of stoicism, and almost every other idea flows from there. This is also one of the easier concepts to understand, but so hard to actually implement.

How do you manage to clearly divide what you can and can't control?
