Epictetus asks the question “what is within my control and what is not?” He invites us to question the nature of things and events, to put things into perspective and learn to discern what is essential from what is not.

One thing he proposes is to accept the reality of life so we can learn from it. In this way we are less impacted by the superficial appearance of things and we can discover what truly belongs to us.

It is a path of freedom, through which we can face the ever changing circumstances of life with confidence and creativity.
