As I near 1000 days of Bound Lotus, I was amazed to discover how yogic Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (121 AD – 180 AD) was in his philosophy. Here’s a few of my favorite quotes:
“Nothing happens to any thing which that thing is not made by nature to bear.”
“The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.”
“Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor; for even death is one of the things that Nature wills.”
“Whatever happens to you has been waiting to happen since the beginning of time. The twining strands of fate wove both of them together: your own existence and the things that happen to you.”
“How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.”
“It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.”
“Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature’s delight.”
