A collection of my favorite #stoic meditations (source: Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus)

🧵
1. “You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength”
2. “When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love”
3. “The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts”
4. “Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now take what’s left and live it properly”
5. “It is not death a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live”
6. “Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back”
7. “The bravest sight in the world is seeing a great man struggling against adversity”
8. “Throw me to the wolves and I will return leading the pack”
9. “From this instant on, vow to stop disappointing yourself. Separate yourself from the mob. Decide to be extraordinary, and do what you need to do - now”
10. “What ought one to say as each hardship comes? I was practicing for this, I was training for this”
