"Above all, I would tell anyone to remember: your thoughts shape your reality. Guard them well."

Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor, sometimes known as the “last of the Good Emperors.” He lived and ruled in a time of great upheaval within the Roman Empire. Stoicism was his guiding philosophy on how to deal with life’s difficulties, and he kept a journal that has survived mostly intact. We now know it as the “Meditations.”
