Meditation - A Roman Emperor's Personal Journal
This book is not meant to be read like a regular book. It is Marcus's journal, where he wrote his deepest thoughts and beliefs, without any intention of publishing it.
It is interesting to note that many writers start their journey with journaling and end up becoming writers. This book is a collection of Marcus's inner self and is filled with his personal confessions and beliefs. So, take this book as an insight into the mind of a Roman emperor, rather than just a book to be read. 📖

Meditations On : People
The world is like a coin with two sides - day and night. Similarly, we have good and bad people. But it's not easy to judge who is good or bad, maybe you can also be bad.
In difficult times, we must have the courage to face adversity. It can also be an opportunity instead of a complaint.
Think everything as a step towards success

Meditations On: Death
Death is a natural part of life. If you fear death, you'll miss out on living. Control only what you can, accept what you can't and treasure the present moment. Focus on the now and let go of the unknown past and future.
- Fear of death can hinder your life
- You can only control what you know
- Live in the present, not the past or future
