Epictetus — 🌱 Self Growth Quote

Growth isn't instant — it's measured in slowly widening gaps between your worst moments. Track your progress gently. Going from daily frustration to weekly is a massive win worth celebrating.

“If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: I used to be angry every day; then every other day; now only every third or fourth day. When you reach thirty days, offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.”
