240811 What I learned in my studies this morning 4

Today's Meditation(s):

Epictetus, Fragments, 24 (Waterfield)

I complain about this and that and the other in my life, yet, were someone to threaten to take it away, I would guard it jealously, defend it most zealously.

Things will never be perfect. At least, not until I perfect my soul by training my assent, desires, aversions, judgments, and other thoughts.

Still a long way to go. Don't despair about the length in front of me. Put out the first step and get to it.

The door is always open.
