“Leave the past behind, let the grand design take care of the future, and instead only rightly guide the present to reverence and justice. Reverence so that you’ll love what you’ve been allotted, for nature brought you both to each other. Justice so that you’ll speak the truth freely and without evasion, and so that you’ll act only as the law and value of things require.”
—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 12.1
What a stunning capture. I also couldn’t agree more about the quote, the past has already happened, it’s all about enjoying the moment and moving forward with your life.
Thanks – Yes, the only real thing is the present moment.
