Stoicism
Accept what you cannot control and seek equanimity by correcting your judgments.
What it claims
Stoicism's practical core is the distinction between what is up to us and what is not. Epictetus places judgments, desires and intentions on the first side, and the body, reputation, possessions and other people's actions on the second. Attachment to the latter produces disturbance.
