6 Lessons from Epictetus:
- Use everything that happens to you
- Treat your mind the way you do your body
- Choose what you expose yourself to or someone else will do it for you.
- Find heroes to emulate
- Be honest with yourself
- Start living as your ideal self now
Understanding, accepting, and working with reality is both practical and beautiful. I have become so much of a hyperrealist that I’ve learned to appreciate the beauty of all realities, even harsh ones, and have come to despise impractical idealism. (1/3)
