Ep 6 - Letting go of the control you don’t have
This episode is mostly about getting real and, as a result, feeling and being more free.
"Don't ask for things to happen as you would LIKE them to. But wish them to happen as they ACTUALLY DO, and you will be alright."
Epictetus said that many years ago.
In this episode:
- The difference accepting reality can make to our lives.
- Don't wish for something you cannot control.
- Almost nothing is in your control.
- Getting clear on this can bring tremendous freedom.
- Being fatalistic is fruitless.
- How to cease wasting time and energy.
- At least three things you DO have control over.
- The world has no love for us. Or anyone else.
