Marcus Aurelius

4 key ideas, each explained in our own words.

Meditations

IDEA 1
What is up to you
Separate what you control, your judgements and actions, from what you don't. Put all your effort into the first and accept the second without complaint.
IDEA 2
The obstacle becomes the path
Whatever blocks one action becomes material for another: patience, courage, ingenuity. The impediment to the plan is a chance to practise virtue.
IDEA 3
Prepare for difficult people
Expect to meet rude, ungrateful people today. They act from ignorance of what is good. They can't harm your character unless you let them.
