Our life is what our thoughts make it. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Where do you let your mind take you when you wake up?
Are your thoughts about your work, your dream, your pursuit, or do they immediately follow and envious trail, one where you despise those doing what you wish you ‘could do’?
Are you thinking about the wonderful life you have – something that’s a matter of perspective and your perspective should lend you to agree with that statement – or do you think about what you wish you had?
Ambition is a great thing, necessary thing, it’s a man’s duty to be better than he was yesterday. To ignore what you have, both in talent, potential, and in those wonderful people that surround you, is ignorant. It is literally ignoring what’s right in front of you.
Our life is what our thoughts make it, thus, we can make our life into whatever we want it to be.
This is where the real power of this wisdom lies. You have control over your happiness, your level of purpose, meaning, value in life.
