Be angry, criticize all the stupid people, seek pleasure, suffer pain, continue to think you are better than everyone else, and use your ambition to have more or be more. This is what most of us do every day, unconsciously.

Marcus Aurelius offers an alternative to this unconscious state. The alternative is you have a choice to think and act otherwise. This possibility exists, but requires you to take control of your thoughts.

What will you do today?

Namaste
