Your happiness depends on the quality of your thoughts and your perspective on life.

Trust in your own abilities and inner strength to handle whatever challenges come your way.

Accept the things you cannot change and focus on what you can control.Avoid being harmed by refusing to let external events affect your inner peace.

Strive to be a good person rather than getting caught up in debates about what it means to be good.

Focus on controlling your own thoughts and actions, rather than worrying about external events

Live in the present moment and make the most of it.

True happiness comes from within and is not dependent on external circumstances.

Meditation

Meditations (Medieval Greek: Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν, romanized: Ta eis he'auton, lit. 'things to one's self') is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes tell us that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron) and the second book was written at Carnuntum.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 AD and a Stoic philosopher. He was the last of the rulers known, noncontemporaneously, as the Five Good Emperors and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an age of relative peace, calmness and stability for the Roman Empire lasting from 27 BC to 180 AD.

~MARCUS AURELIUS
