Begin the Morning

 

         Begin the Morning

Begin the Morning
pg 7 : Book Two : Marcus Aurelius

Don't fix/say: he is good ; he is bad
This is beautiful; that is Ugly
Everything/ Everyone is akin to me
part of the same intelligence and portion of my divinity
so I can neither be injured by any of them
for no one can fix on me what is ugly
nor I can be angry with my kinsmen nor hate him

For we are made for cooperation, like feet
like hands, like eyelids, like rows of upper and lower teeth
to act against one another then is contrary to Nature
and it is acting against one another - to be vexed and turn away;

Whatever this is that I am, I am a little flesh and breath of the Ruling part

My words: Unity is what comes to my mind
Bhagavad Gita says -
Unity ,freedom from selfish desires and Lack of Ego
are the 3 goods you need

Marcus Aurelius

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
