Remember the impermanence of life from "summary" of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. Remember that life is fleeting, like a passing shadow or a fading flower. Everything in this world is temporary and subject to constant change. The people you love, the possessions you cherish, the accomplishments you take pride in - all of these are impermanent and will eventually fade away. Instead of clinging to things that are transient, focus on what truly matters - your character, your values, your relationships. Cultivate virtues like kindness, courage, and wisdom, for these are the things that will endure beyond the fleeting moments of life. Embrace the inevitability of change and impermanence, for it is the nature of the world we live in. When faced with challenges or setbacks, remind yourself that this too shall pass. Just as the seasons change and the tide ebbs and flows, so too will your circumstances evolve. Embrace the ebb and flow of life with equanimity, knowing that both joy and sorrow are fleeting experiences that will ultimately pass. By remembering the impermanence of life, you can find peace in the midst of chaos, strength in the face of adversity, and gratitude in moments of joy. Live each day with a sense of awe and wonder, knowing that every breath is a gift and every moment is an opportunity to grow and evolve. Embrace the impermanence of life, and you will find freedom in letting go of the things that do not truly matter.
