Embracing What Life Throws at You

Epictetus encourages us to accept the things we cannot control and embrace them as part of our fate. Rather than wasting time wishing things were different, we should focus on our response to the challenges life presents. No one truly knows what should or shouldn't have happened, so it is better to love and accept our fate. Embracing the unexpected allows us to concentrate on what we can control and respond to life's circumstances in the best possible way.
