WEALTH AND FREEDOM ARE FREE

“.  .   .   freedom isn’t   secured by  filling up  on  your    heart’s desire  but by  removing    your    desire.”
—EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 4.1.175

here are two ways to be wealthy—to get everything you want or to want everything you have. Which

more, you will never be free. If you could find and focus on the pockets of freedom you already have?
Well, then you’d be free right here, right now.
