DAY 2

Meditations

Marcus Aurelius · 180
Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

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.

— ONGO · Curator
"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
"당신의 마음을 지배하는 것은 당신 자신이지, 외부의 사건이 아니다. 이를 깨달으면 힘을 얻을 것이다."

🌱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.
