You're Worrying About the Wrong Things (The Stoic Solution)

You're Worrying About the Wrong Things (The Stoic Solution) You're lying awake at 3 AM worrying about things you can't control. Your boss's mood. What people think. The future. The past. And it's destroying your peace. Two thousand years ago, a Roman slave named Epictetus discovered the secret to inner peace. He called it the Dichotomy of Control: Some things are within your power, while others are not. Everything in life falls into one of two categories—things you CAN control, and things you CANNOT control. Your peace of mind depends entirely on knowing the difference and focusing your energy only on what you can control. In this video, you'll discover: ✓ Why 90% of your stress comes from trying to control the uncontrollable ✓ The exact three things you CAN control (and why they're enough) ✓ What you absolutely CANNOT control (and why that's liberating) ✓ The "control check" practice to use in any stressful situation ✓ Real-life examples: work stress, relationships, health challenges ✓ How Epictetus went from slave to influential philosopher using this principle ✓ Marcus Aurelius's application of this to rule an empire in peace This isn't about giving up or being passive. It's about directing your energy where it actually matters—and releasing what was never yours to manage. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - The 3 AM Anxiety Problem 01:13 - Epictetus: From Slave to Philosopher 02:09 - What You CAN Control (The Three Things) 03:20 - What You CANNOT Control (Let It Go) 04:44 - How to Practice the Dichotomy of Control 06:37 - The Transformation: From Anxious to Unshakeable 💬 STOIC WISDOM ON CONTROL: "Some things are within our power, while others are not. Within our power are opinion, motivation, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever is of our own doing; not within our power are our body, our property, reputation, office, and, in a word, whatever is not of our own doing." — Epictetus, The Enchiridion "You have power over your mind—not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 💭 REFLECTION EXERCISE: Right now, what are you worrying about? Ask yourself: "Is this within my control?" If yes, what's the next action you can take? If no, can you release it?
