I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's up to Size Team? You're listening to The Daily Game the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Today's quote comes from Marcus Aurelius, one of the most highly respected Roman emperors and philosophers. He ruled from one hundred and sixty one to one hundred and eighty, but his words still rang true today. You have power
over your mind, not outside events. Realize this and you will find strength. This is dope because really is telling you the only thing you truly have power over is what goes on in your brain. Everything around you, you truly don't have control over it. And it kind of connects to one of my things is, which is focus
on things you can't control. A lot of people spend a lot of time thinking about things they have no control over, and they labor and they go through all types of anxiety over things they have absolutely no control over. You can only focus on the things you can't control. So say you live in a hurricane area, Well, you can worry and worry and worry about the hurricane, but you cannot control the hurricane. What you can control is how well you prepare for the hurricane. So you can
control things in your mind. That's where you have control. Now you say, okay, I can't control these outside things, but what in my mind can I do? And what can I control? So let me prepare for this. So I guess basically, what Marcus is really getting down to is that you have to relinquish a lot of power and stop sweating a lot of things that we don't
control in life. A life is going to move around us, and how we absorb them and how we take them in and how we understand them, that's all we can do. That's all you have is control over yourself. Even with someone else in your life, you do not have control over them. You might think you do, but you don't. They have free will. You can only control yourself. So that's deep. And once you give up the power and say, you know what, no matter how much I wish or want,
I can't will that thing to happen. I can only control myself, you probably will remove a lot of stress from your life. But this is hard for some people to excel. This has been another ice cold fact from me iced tea, listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass Till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing that you and you alone are in the driver's seat of your life.
