Epiktetos' Reflections

Greetings, fellow seeker of wisdom. Here you will find my humble musings on life, virtue, and the pursuit of tranquility.

On Accepting Fate

Do not seek to have events happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do, and your life will go smoothly.

Understanding Control

There are things which are within our power, and there are things which are beyond our power. Focus on what you can control.

The Simplicity of Happiness

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.

— Epiktetos
