Dear Me:
Oh, it’s the other thing you mentioned. I just came across a quote that may help, it’s by Marcus Aurelius (Roman Emperor):
“You have power over your mind—not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
Marcus Aurelius was a devoted Stoic, a school of philosophy that teaches:
* Control what you can, accept what you can’t
* Live according to reason and virtue
* Cultivate inner peace regardless of external chaos.
Other quotes by him: “If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it—and this you have the power to revoke.”
“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
“The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.”
“Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.”
“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”
How are you feeling this Friday, me?
