Control Your Perceptions

“You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” – Marcus Aurelius

Work every day to control your perceptions. Avoid the temptation to jump to conclusions or cast judgment prematurely. Commit to doing all you can to see things as they truly are, becoming the purest of observers. Rely on reality without distortion and your actions will follow with clarity and purpose.

This requires effort, discipline, and will demand times of great restraint. Have vigilance in recognizing your biases and in withholding immediate reactions. Chose not to react impulsively but respond with wisdom and patience.

Free yourself from unnecessary burdens and choose to live a life strongly rooted in patience and resilience.
