Don't seek to have events happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen, and all will be well with you.

Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well.

Seek not for events to happen as you wish but rather wish for events to happen as they do and your life will go smoothly.

Do not seek for things to happen the way you want them to; rather, wish that what happens happen the way it happens: then you will be happy.

Don’t seek for everything to happen as you wish it would, but rather wish that everything happens as it actually will — then your life will flow well.

Do not seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do happen, and your life will go well.

Seek not that the things which happen should happen as you wish; but wish the things which happen to be as they are, and you will have a tranquil flow of life.

Do not seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do happen, and your life will go well. — EPICTETUS

Ask not that events should happen as you will, but let your will be that events should happen as they do, and you shall have peace.

Don’t seek that all that comes about should come about as you wish, but wish that everything that comes about should come about just as it does, and then you’ll have a calm and happy life.

Não procures que tudo quanto acontece aconteça como desejas, antes deseja que tudo aconteça como de facto acontece. Desse modo serás feliz.

Don’t demand or expect that events happen as you would want them too. Accept events as they actually happen. That way, peace is possible

No exijas que los acontecimientos sucedan como deseas. Acéptalos tal como son realmente. Así te será posible ser feliz.

If things do not turn out as we wish, we should wish for them as they turn out.
