Epictetus Control, White Print on Dark, T Shirt

Within our control. Not within our control.

Epictetus drew the line with brutal clarity: some things are up to us, and some things are not. Our judgments, our choices, our responses — these belong to us. Everything else (the traffic, the delay, the broken plan, the opinions of others) does not.

The left side of this shirt names what is yours. The right side names what is not. Between them stands the entire practice of Stoicism.

Most of our suffering comes from confusing the two. We rage at what we cannot change and neglect the one thing we can. This design is a daily reminder to return to the only ground that is truly ours.

Wear it as a quiet discipline. When the day pushes back, look at the line and choose again.
