I tell you, you only have to learn to live like the healthy person does… living with complete confidence. What confidence? The only one worth holding, in what is trustworthy, unhindered, and can’t be taken away - your own reasoned choice.”
Epictetus, Discourses, 3.26.23b-24
Trusting and having faith in what we can’t control is bad business, and we’ve learned over the course of the last year that the one thing over which we DO have control is our own decision-making, choice-making mind. It’s the best tool we have in our life-toolbox, and the best thing about it is this: it’ll never fail. It only fails with user-error, misuse, or when we don't take it out of the toolbox at all.
No matter our circumstances, illnesses and ailments, or whatnot, we all have the opportunity to practice “good health” by remembering what remains in our control and focusing on that thing.
Caveat: Abandon or ignore the practice at our own risk.
