Most of us believe anger is justified, even empowering. But according to Epictetus, anger is not power — it’s poor preparation. It happens when we expect the world to conform to our comfort, instead of preparing our minds for reality.
When someone offends you or things fall apart, you weren't broken by them — you were caught unready.
True strength isn’t about suppressing emotions — it’s about understanding them before they hijack your behavior. You don’t need to react. You need to be ready.
🧘 “Preparation is power. Reaction is exposure.”
