"We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them."
~ Epictetus from The Enchiridion
That's a (very) powerful statement. (From a former Roman slave, btw.)
ALL the great teachers remind us that the only thing we can ever truly control is our response to a situation.
May we all choose those responses wisely.

“Hi Brian, I've been receiving your Philosopher Notes via email for over a year now and they remain a brilliant inspiration to me... one that I look forward to receiving during the week. The always seem to address what I most need to hear and I also often pass them on to others. Thank you for this wonderful service to humanity.”
“I just love your 'cliff notes', in fact, I love everything about what you are writing and doing! Just amazing! Can't begin to tell you how much your material has helped me. I listen almost everyday.”
"“Do you know why most people sleep so much?” “Why?” “Because they really don’t have anything else to do. Those who rise with the sun all have one thing in common.” “Insanity?” “Very funny. No, they all have a purpose that fans the flames of their inner potential.”" ~ Robin Sharma
