Note: The quote is a modern rendering of the opening sentence of Enchiridion, Chapter 1: “Some things are up to us, and some things are not.” Epictetus distinguishes our own judgments and actions from things such as possessions, reputation, and other people’s decisions. He encourages us to direct our efforts toward what is up to us. Read this passage in context in our free modern English edition of the Enchiridion.
