Episode 2463:
When pain and betrayal threaten to consume you, there remains something untouchable within your dignity, self-respect, and power of choice. Keith Wilson explores the ancient concept of prohairesis, the inner resilience that allows us to rise above hardship, take responsibility for what we can control, and refuse to be defined by our suffering. No matter how much has been lost, this strength is always within reach, ready to be reclaimed.

Quotes to ponder:
"The idea behind the concept is that, while you have no control of what others do to you, or what fate does to you; you have control over what you do with it."
"You exercise prohairesis by taking responsibility, not of everything, but only of the things you are responsible for: yourself and what you do."
"You may have misplaced it, or never knew it existed; you may have given it away; but you can always get more prohairesis."
