God has entrusted me with myself.

In Stoic terms, the line expresses the core division between what is “up to us” (our judgments, choices, and character) and what is not (health, reputation, wealth, other people). To say that God has “entrusted” one with oneself frames self-governance as a sacred stewardship: the only true possession is one’s moral purpose (prohairesis), and it is one’s duty to guard and cultivate it. The thought also implies accountability—if the divine has given you charge over your own mind, then blaming fate or others for your moral failures is a category mistake. Freedom, for Epictetus, is internal: it consists in using reason to align one’s will with nature.
