Epictetus on Daily Reflections

Dear Friends, 

Almost 2000 years back, the Greek philosopher Epictetus wrote about the importance of daily reflection right before sleep:

Let us hear it from the Master himself:

"Let sleep not come upon thy languid eyes before 

Each daily action that you have scanned

What's done amiss 

What got done

What left undone

From first to last examine all, and then

Blame what is wrong, 

in what is right, rejoice!"
