"Plus nous valorisons des choses en dehors de notre contrôle moins nous avons de contrôle."
— Marcus Aurelius

Simplified Meaning:
When we start caring too much about things we can't control, we actually end up feeling more helpless. Imagine you're worried about the weather on the day of your outdoor party. You can't control whether it rains or shines, so stressing about it won't change the outcome. Instead, focus on what you can do, like planning backup activities indoors. This way, you feel more in charge and less anxious. By concentrating on things we can change, we keep our peace of mind and feel more empowered. Instead of wasting energy on things beyond our reach, we should put our efforts into areas where we can make a difference.
