Epictetus — 🏛️ Life Quote

So much of our stress comes from fighting reality. When you learn to work with what is instead of what you wanted, peace shows up naturally. It's a practice, not perfection.

“Do not seek to have everything that happens happen as you wish, but wish for everything to happen as it actually does happen, and your life will be serene.”

— Epictetus
