Deep dives
The importance of separating what is in our control and what is not
The essence of stoicism is separating things into two categories: that which is in our control and that which is not. Epictetus emphasizes that our focus should be on mastering the things that are 100% under our control, such as our effort, rather than being consumed by outcomes that are not entirely within our control.
