Turn your prayers this way

 Marcus Aurelius 

Meditations 

Desires can be addressed in two ways

One to go after them

Another to work on your judgment that

This desire will not make you more happy

My notes:

Work on your opinion that Desire is required

Remove the desire from the list;

Instead of chasing the next million, think how to live with the current riches 

Instead of fearing about job loss, think of how not to be afraid of losing your job

Instead of the next promotion,  think of how to be contented with your current

This is what is called Turn your prayers this way!
