The Big Three
Nov 13, 2023
“All you need are these: certainty of judgment in the present moment; action for the common good in the present moment; and an attitude of gratitude in the present moment for anything that comes your way.”
-Marcus Aurelius,Meditations,9.6
Life is pretty simple, really. Just three things can make a big difference.
First, trust your gut when making decisions — be certain about what you choose in the present.
Second, whatever you do, let it be for the good of everyone around you, not just yourself.
And third, no matter what life throws your way, find a way to be thankful for it.
That’s the secret: judgment, action, and gratitude in the here and now.
