Meditations

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth

The things you think about determine the quality of your mind

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.

At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: “I have to go to work — as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for — the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?”

So you were born to feel “nice”? Instead

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
