— Marcus Aurelius

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.

In your actions, do not procrastinate.
In your conversations, do not confuse.
In your thoughts, do not wander.
In your soul, do not be passive or aggressive.
In your life, do not be all about business.

— Marcus Aurelius

Learn to be indifferent, to what makes no difference.

— Marcus Aurelius
