Developing Inner Resources

Epictetus reminds us that we have inner resources to cope with any challenge. Whether it's self-restraint for attraction, endurance for pain, or patience for insults, we all possess the necessary qualities to overcome difficulties. Instead of trying to escape or avoid challenges, we should recognize the skills needed to face them head-on. By identifying the specific skill sets required and working on developing these attributes, we can approach challenges with confidence and find a clearer path to overcome them.
