Guard your peace

Three observations from a great philosopher:

Strive to do your work with feelings of peace – and give yourself freedom from all other thoughts. You deserve the freedom that a peaceful mind brings. If you seek only peace, you will see how easy it is to live a happy live – one that is like the life of the gods.
~~~
Do activities break you from your peace? If so, give yourself some quiet time to return to your path. If necessary, change directions or take up a new activity. The most important thing in life is to have a focus and purpose.
~~~
It’s not another person’s mind that destroys us, but our own. If we are watchful of our mind’s contents, we will rise above the troubles of the outside world.

-- Marcus Aurelius
