Epictetus sorted things into two piles. This sheet does the same, in words a child can use.

What the sheet says

Up to me

  • What I do next

  • Asking for help

  • How I treat people

  • Trying again

Not up to me

  • The weather

  • What others think

  • Who wins

  • What already happened

Talk about it on a calm day, not mid big feeling.

We put the wording on this sheet into plain English ourselves. A Stoic idea from Epictetus, Enchiridion 1.
