November 2nd Reading from The Daily Stoic (Round 2) - Binding Our Wishes To What Will Be

"But I haven't at any time been hindered in my will, nor forced  against it. And how is this possible? I have bound up my choice to act with the will of God. God wills that I be sick, such is my will. He wills that I should choose something, so I do. He wills that I reach for something, or something be given to me - I wish for the same. What God doesn't will, I do not wish for."

~ Epictetus, Discourses, 4.1.89
