Day 2 - Meditations Week
The following was taken from Book 1:
“From Maximus I learned self-mastery, and not to be led aside by anything; and cheerfulness in all circumstances, as well as in illness; and a good mixture in of gentleness and dignity in one’s character, and to do what was set before me without complaining.”
My thoughts: Self-actualization lies at the top of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. It’s the Übermensch state alluded by Nietzsche that transcends societal boundaries.
But how do we achieve that? Not simply by believing, and waiting. We reach that glorious state through action while inertia and procrastination put on the brakes.
Marcus Aurelius reminds us that if we work without complaint and focus on positivity, we achieve mastery over the self.
What are the steps that you’re taking to reach that potential? What is the destiny that you’ve set for yourself?
