Meditations
Am I wasting unnecessary emotions on things outside of my control?
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is the secret diary of an emperor who, from the highest seat of the Roman world, had to endure its deepest solitude. Reading the cool resolutions he set for himself inside the cold tents of the battlefield, I feel the anxiety thrashing within me grow, somehow, still. For those who wish to hold an inner center unshaken by the world's verdicts or its trials, this book becomes a heavy anchor. Each night before sleep, I hope you will steal a glance at his diary and take a little time to steady a center of your own.
"If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. And it is in your power to wipe out this judgment now. — Meditations VIII.47"Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
"외부의 무언가가 너를 괴롭힌다면, 너를 흔드는 것은 그것 자체가 아니라 그것에 대한 너의 판단이다. 그리고 그 판단은 지금 이 순간 네가 지워버릴 수 있다. — 『명상록』 8권 47"
🌱Apply It Today
When something slips beyond your control today and frustration rises, silently repeat to yourself three times: "This is beyond my control." It will spare you needless emotional drain.
