SOPHROSYNE — The Art of Self-Mastery Did you know the Ancient Greeks had a word for mastering yourself instead of allowing your desires to control you? Today’s word is SOPHROSYNE (σοφροσύνη), an ancient Greek concept representing soundness of mind, self-control, moderation, and balance. It was considered an important virtue in Greek philosophy and represented the ability to make wise decisions through discipline and reason.

Knowledge without discipline can become wasted potential. Wisdom requires balance. QUESTION OF THE DAY: Can you truly master yourself without first understanding yourself? Comment below.
