Day 9

“Some things are in our control, while others are not. We control our opinion, choice, desire, aversion, and, in a word, everything of our own doing. We don’t control our body, property, reputation, position, and in a word, everything not of our own doing. Even more, the things in our control are by nature free, unhindered, and unobstructed, while those not in our control are weak, slavish, can be hindered, and are not our own.” Epictetus, Enchiridion, 1.1-2

I control my opinion of what is fair or unfair. I have found I agree with Trump killing TPP. I will enjoy the moment. The other 99% unfair. I breathe and relax and find the calm spot where the waves roll by as I am still.
