“A wise person knows they don’t control other people’s opinions, they don’t control traffic, they don’t control the weather, they don’t control the fact that we are born mortal, they don’t control the economy or the rude remark that just left someone else’s mouth. They don’t control the past and they don’t control the distant future. But they do control their own choices and their own responses to all those things that are out of their control.Everything else they ignore. In this way, philosophy is not just a form of wisdom but a resource allocation hack.”
Words to live by. Yes, Yes, Yes. From Ryan Holiday’s “Why You Should Study Philosophy” (https://medium.com/s/story/why-you-should-study-philosophy-47c53fbc3205) – which by the way I do and have for decades!
