November 1st Reading from The Daily Stoic - Accepting What Is


"Don't seek for everything to happen as you wish it would, but rather wish that everything happens as it actually will - then your life will flow well."
~ Epictetus, Enchiridion, 8

"It is easy to praise providence for anything that may happen if you have two qualities: a complete view of what has actually happened in each instance and a sense of gratitude. Without gratitude what is the point of seeing, and without seeing what is the object of gratitude?"
~ Epictetus, Discourses, 1.6.1-2
