Control Quotes

“In all circumstances—adversity or advantage—we really have just one thing we need to do: focus on what is in our control as opposed to what is not.

Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic (Page 27)

It’s that struggle, that aversion, that is responsible for most of our misery. The phrase that I use the most to myself in my head is one word: accept.”
