1167. “No man is free who is not master of himself.”

Epictetus said that

Control who we are.

Know who we want to become.

Know what we want to do.

It’s putting ourselves first, what’s more important?

Who cares what people think we should do, or how we are perceived to live?

We can need to free ourselves from the shackles of people’s opinions the second we decide to do so.
