up to you
judgment · effort
not up to you
others · the past · luck
the Stoic line, drawn a hundred times in one notebook
Control
what
you
can
what stands in the way
is the way
the impediment to action advances action — V.20
The
obstacle
is
the
way
you are here
Asia and Europe: corners of the universe
the emperor and the shepherd: both brief
look down often, he tells himself — everything shrinks
The
view
from
above
You could leave life right now.
let that decide what you do, say and think
You
could
leave
life
now

Aurelius'
