“If someone took control of your body and handed it over to a stranger, you’d be outraged. Yet you let anyone who crosses your path take over your mind, leaving it disturbed and troubled - aren't you embarrassed by that?” - Epictetus

We fight to protect our bodies, yet we often allow others to control our minds simply with a harsh comment, a rejection, or a bad moment.

Imagine losing £10 out of £84,000. Would you dwell on that loss?

So why do we let fleeting moments of negativity control our mindset?

True freedom lies in controlling your thoughts and reactions. Setbacks are inevitable, but they don’t need to control you.

Stay grounded in what matters: your attitude, your approach, and your resilience.

Protect your mind, it’s your most valuable asset.

Actionable tips:

• When faced with rejection or negative feedback, pause before reacting. Take a deep breath and remind yourself that how you respond is your choice.
• Practice mental detachment. Use Stoic techniques like "viewing from above" to see situations objectively, keeping your emotions out of the driver’s seat.

Remember you will die.
