“The first rule is, to keep an untroubled spirit.”
“The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.”
Marcus Aurelius (121–180)
Roman emperor and philosopher

When I try to live each day like if it was be my last, it gives me “an untroubled spirit” because of the satisfaction of having done the best that I could with the resources and the opportunities that were given to me.
When I try to look things in the face, it forces realism on me, it is not what happens to me, it is how I react to what happens to me.
Do you find it difficult to look at things for what they really are?
OR
Do you INSIST on seeing things AS YOU WANT to see them?
