The Stoic Trichotomy of Control

Irvine (2009) expands on The Stoic Dichotomy of Control by adding a third item to the mix:

  1. Things we have control over, such as our desires and goals;
  2. Things we truly have no control over, such as the weather;
  3. Things we have some, but not complete, control over, such as winning a competition.
