Today's quote is by Epictetus,
“For if a person shifts their caution to their own reasoned choices and the acts of those choices, they will at the same time gain the will to avoid, but if they shift their caution away from their own reasoned choices to things not under their control, seeking to avoid what is controlled by others, they will then be agitated, fearful, and unstable.””

This quote highlights an idea we've discussed before, which is the importance of creating a life aim for ourselves. A long last aim that can serve as our guide and always point in us in the right direction for our life. Since my channel focuses on self-development and becoming more conscious, increasing our awareness can serve as a broad and long-lasting aim for our life. Anything that helps us move in the direction of becoming more mindful and aware is good and anything that takes us away from that aim we would consider bad.
