You’re not going to believe this. All three of them passionately were in agreement! Yup, that’s the punchline. What did they agree upon, you ask?
We’re all lacking control.
The first written words we see from arguably the most famous Stoic, Epictetus, read, “Of things some are in our power, and others are not.” The seminal Taois text Tao Te Ching states that “the master allows things to happen. She shapes them as they come.” Finally, when it comes to Christian prayers, is there a better classic than the Serenity Prayer?
“God, grant the serenity to accept the things that
I cannot change; courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.”
These are old words, my friends. And, they continue to stand the test of time. It’s a classic “easier said than done” truth, so the question remains.
How much time are you wasting on things outside of your control?
