Happy Birthday to my favorite Taurus, Marcus Aurelius. The impact of your words on my life has had so much meaning, a simple Instagram post wouldn’t do it justice. Instead, I’ll just pass along some excerpts from your writing. “You could leave life right now, let that determine what you say, do and think” “Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what’s left, and live it properly.” “The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.” “Let each thing you would do, say, or intend, be like that of a dying person.” “We live only now. Everything else is either passed or is unknown” Your journals, while never intended to be read by the public, survive as the book “meditations” and serve as a guide in my own life to live with urgency, detachment and presence. Happy Birthday Marcus. #Stoicism #Stoic #marcusaurelius #marcusaureliusquote #Meditations #marcusaureliusmeditations https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc0l4G0JXP4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
