"Seek not that the things which happen should happen as you wish; but wish the things which happen to be as they are." Epictetus's blueprint for peace of mind — stop fighting reality and start aligning with it. It's a dense, layered line that unpacks a little more each time you read it, which makes it a natural fit for a print you'll actually look at more than once. A steady, clarifying piece for an office, study, or any space where you're working on acceptance over control.
