Aurelius - Meditations 2:5

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!2:5 – Each moment think valiantly, as becomes a Roman and a man, to do what is to your hand, with precise … and unaffected dignity, natural love, freedom, and justice; and to give yourself repose from every other imagination. And so you will, if only you do each act as though it were your last, freed from every random aim, from willful turning away from the directing Reason, from pretence, self-love and displeasure with what is allotted to you. You see how few things a man need master in order to live a smooth and God-fearing life; for God himself will require nothing more of him who keeps these precepts.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear!
