A MEDITATION

“ You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

— Marcus Aurelius

A reflection

Traffic, weather, your inbox, other people's moods — none of these ask your permission. What you control is narrower than you think: your attention, your interpretation, your next move. When you stop trying to steer the world and start steering yourself, a strange thing happens — the world gets lighter.
