Words by Epictetus
The philosophers say that there are gods, and that their will directs the universe. The more important lesson is to discover the nature of the gods. Upon discovering that nature, a man would please the gods by making his own nature like unto the gods. If the divine is faithful, he must also be faithful. If free, he must also be free. If beneficent, he must also be beneficent. If magnanimous, he must also be magnanimous. Thus to make the gods' nature one's own, a man must imitate them. Imagine every thought, word and deed.If you want to change the world, then start by changing yourself. Bring the Divine back into this World through Yourself.
