Marcus Aurelius meditations.

Nov '22 (edited) in The Garden

This book has always been one of my favorite books & somehow i always come back to it from

Time to time.

Just think about it, the most Powerfull, richest men on earth at that time, writing a book to himself & when he nearly died he told his servant to burn it. So he doesnt even wanted it to be published bud purely wrote it for himself. It blowd me away from an early age that a man like this A CEASER of the world wrote this book & this men ruled for about 20 years …..

Marcus writes things like

My best teacher taught me to do my own work, mind my own business and to ignore anyone who slenders my name.

Dont be envious of wealth. Think of what you do have and how jealous you would be of what you had, if you had even less.

This teaches me to remind myself to be greateful and practise graditude, always strive for more bud always be grateful of what you already have.

Also one very intresting thing marcus writes is about the poeple he loves in his life & all the good morals he learned from them while observing them, he writes :

From my grandfather verus : decency and a mild temper

From my father : integrity and manlines

& meny more

This thought me from an early age to look at the people i love & look up to & look at their bad morals & good morals as everyone has them both & copy the good ones & leave the bad ones bud recognize them.

For example i looked up to my dad witch is a very respected business men i always admired his dicipline & his masculine presence & the way he carries his cherisma with other people, i copied this becouse i always thought of marcus doing the same. It also tought me to always seek good

Mentors & to be a good student of life

Anyway just some thoughts and smal lesons i learned from this book i was reading this book already when i was 15/16 years old.
