You're indeed a woman who's come to understand life more and I cannot help but be proud of your mantras.
I really love that quote by Epicetus. There's this peace that comes with letting go of the things you can't change but channeling your energy to the things you can control. Like you said; thoughts and actions.
I've also once mentioned the aspect of living and not just existing. I came to understand this the day my life almost flashed before my eyes. I feel there's the need for everyone to do something significant and different with their lives. We can't afford to live carelessly.
You have great principles, this was an interesting read! ❤️
