I find this quote to be especially powerful because I, like many people, often find myself concerned about things that I can’t control, even if they don’t affect me in any meaningful way. Even the most powerful people on earth (that is to say, not freshmen students at college) have a limit to what they can control in the outside world. For this reason, it is best to concern oneself with one’s mind, since that is something that doesn’t belong to any other person. Instead of being consumed with fear for things that ultimately don’t matter, you can find the inner fortitude to survive anything that comes your way.
