we suffer more often in imagination than in reality if you can control your reaction, you can control everything

The Dichotomy of Control: Differentiating What We Can and Cannot Control A cornerstone of Stoic philosophy is the distinction between things within our control and those beyond it. This dichotomy serves as a powerful tool for managing expectations and reducing stress. According to the Stoics, we have complete control over our thoughts, judgments, and actions, but little to no control over external events, the behavior of others, or the circumstances of life. By focusing on what is within our power, Stoics cultivate a sense of inner peace and resilience. Instead of wasting energy on things they cannot change, they direct their attention to developing their character and responding wisely to challenges. This mindset empowers individuals to find meaning and purpose even in difficult situations. For example, a Stoic might encounter a setback at work. Rather than dwelling on the negative outcome or blaming external factors, they would focus on their response to the situation. They might seek to learn from the experience, develop new skills, or find alternative approaches. By maintaining a focus on what they can control, they preserve their mental and emotional well-being.

the 1st thing you need to know about the Stoicism is you can not control everything, the 2nd is you only can control your reaction
