Can you set goals for things you don't control?

Let the obstacles show you the way.

Can you set goals for things you don't control?

Yes, but you will have to be ready to change course if the universe does not cooperate.

It would be madness to wish for something that is impossible.

When you encounter an obstacle, let this become the way.

Use it to exercise your Stoic character.

Like a wrestler needs a worthy opponent to become best.

You need obstacles to improve your character.

Have a goal. Expect to change course.

Let the obstacles show you the way.
