I have read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius more than 6 times.

But these are the 17 lessons of his that gave me chills.

Read them carefully ↓

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

2. “The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.”

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

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

5. “The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”

6. “If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.”

7. “The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.”

8. “Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.”

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

10. “Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.”

11. “He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.”

12. “The best answer to anger is silence.”

13. “Confine yourself to the present.”

14. “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.”

15. “To live happily is an inward power of the soul.”

16. “Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.”

17. “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
