- *“In life our first job is this, to divide and distinguish things into two categories: externals I cannot control, but the choices I make with regard to them I do control. Where will I find good and bad? In me, in my choices.” —EPICTETUS*. Focusing what is in our power magnifies and enhances our power, but every ounce of energy directed at things we cannot actually influence is wasted.
