what was marcus idea of a happy life
Answers
1.Appreciate the shortness of life.
“There is a limit to the time assigned to you and if you don’t use it to free yourself, it will be gone and will never return.”
2.Stop seeking the praise of other people.
“It doesn’t matter how good a life you’ve led. There’ll still be people standing around the bed who will welcome the sad event.”
3.Negative emotions are a result of negative thinking.
"Your ability to control your thoughts—treat it with respect. It’s all that protects your mind from false perceptions—false to your nature, and that of all rational beings.”
4.Focus only on what you have control over and ignore the rest.
“The cucumber is bitter? Then throw it out. There are brambles in the path? Then go around them. That’s all you need to know. Nothing more.”
5.SEEK TO BUILD YOUR OWN CHARACTER
“The mind in itself has no needs, except for those it creates.”
