240211 What I learned in my studies this morning 4

Today's Meditation(s):

What is up to me — judgments, opinions, desires, aversions — are those internal things guided by my reason.

Everything else is not up to me. Health, success, family, friends, possessions . . . all may be taken from me without my consent.

If I concern myself with only those things properly up to me, I cannot be thwarted. I cannot be harmed. All must be as I want because I want only what is up to me.
