Destroy desire completely for the present. For if you desire anything which is not in our power, you must be unfortunate - Epictetus

Keep in mind that what injures you is not people who are rude or agressive but your opinion that they are injuring you. So whenever someone provokes you, be aware that the provocation really comes from your own judgment. Start, then, by trying not to get carried away by the impression. Once you pause and give yourself time, you will more easily control yourself.

Who is there left for me to fear, and over what has he control? Not what is in my power, because no one controls that except myself. As for what is not in my power, in that I take no interest.

If you meet temptation, use self-control; if you meet pain, use fortitude; if you meet revulsion, use patience.
