Choose to keep control

“Finally, therefore, remember your retreat into this little domain which is yourself,
and above all be not disturbed nor on the rack,
but be free and look at things
   as a man,
   a human being,
   a citizen,
   a creature that must die. And among what is most ready to hand into which you will look have these two:
          > the one, that things do not take hold upon the mind, but stand without unmoved, and that disturbances come only from the judgement within;
      > the second, that all that your eyes behold will change in a moment and be no more;
and of how many things you have already witnessed the changes, think continually of that.
The Universe is change, life is opinion.”
