Do not explain your philosophy. Embody it.Epictetus
“Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems.”
Stoic philosopher · 50 – 135
Epictetus was a Greek-born slave in Rome who won his freedom and became one of the most influential Stoic teachers. His Discourses and the handbook known as the Enchiridion teach that freedom lies in mastering one's own judgments and desires.
