Epictetus

💭 Modern Translation

While everyone's downloading the shiny new wellness app or buying that viral miracle supplement, Epictetus is dropping the uncomfortable truth: No external solution will fix your internal world. Real change starts with deciding who you want to be, then putting in the actual work.

Do what you have to do,
