Meditations by Marcus Aureliusby Parker on TwosDo what you can rather than hire others.Do not be offended by what others say.Be the same in all circumstances, to show strength and flexibility.Only pay attention to right and reason.Be patient while teaching others.Be humble while accepting favors and kindness.Be free of passion, yet full of love.Do not constantly correct others.Don't stress to people how busy you are.Make time for those you care about.Make things right with friends.Be open and honest with friends.Be optimistic.Never doubt your friends love for you.Be eager to share and help others.Always do your work.Have power over yourself and be happy and curious in everything you do.Value everyone.Never believe you are better than someone else.Everyone is equal.Have self control and resistance to distractions.Do your job without whining.Work hard and stay persistent.Do not expect friends to entertain or travel with you unless they want to.Constantly devote yourself to the needs of the community, country, and world.Look and do what needs doing and not what wealth is to be made from them.Never lose control of yourself.Preserve your youth.Don't rush to grow up.Live under the government of the lord and your family.Don't think about that of which you cannot control. Your skin color, face, etc.Be thankful to the Gods for what you have been given.If I fail, it is only my fault.Everyday you will deal with people who are arrogant, dishonest, and jealous, but they have not seen right from wrong and you will learn from them and are meant to work with them.Do not be thirsty for things but grateful for what you have.Focus on what you can do, not what others are doing.Stop being hypocritical, self-centered, and irritable.Have a purpose to direct your thoughts and actions.Do, say, and think, based on the idea that you could die right now.The present is the only thing you can lose, not the future or the past.
