Today’s wisdom is from Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.
I can remember reading this near the Danube of Hungary, 25 years ago. (Time flies when you're having fun! 🤓)
Marcus Aurelius tells us: “You have power over your mind—not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
Now Stoicism isn’t just a philosophy—it’s a practical guide for navigating life’s challenges.
Here’s how to live stoically today:
1. Focus on What’s Yours to Control. Marcus reminds us: “Concentrate every minute on doing what’s in front of you with precise and genuine seriousness.”
2. Practice Gratitude. He writes: “When you arise in the morning, think of what a privilege it is to be alive.” How about you start your day with gratitude?
3. Live in the Present. “The present moment is all you ever have.” (Thank you, Emperor!) Bring your full attention to what you’re doing right now.
So… What’s one stoic principle you can practice today?
