  2. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Tell yourself, when you feel exasperated and out of all patience, that this mortal life endures but a moment; it will not be long before we shall one and all have been laid to rest.
     
    [ὅταν λίαν ἀγανακτῇς ἢ καὶ δυσπαθῇς, ἀκαριαῖος ὁ ἀνθρώπειος βίος καὶ μετ᾿ ὀλίγον πάντες ἐξετάθημεν.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 11, ch. 18 (11.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]

  6. Be our guest, be our guest, put our service to the test. Friends, your room is ready. Don’t be long. #VisitYourFriends #MakeRoom #SendInvites #lifeisshort

  7. Live fully. Live now. Don't wait. Be careful of overpreparing. It's easy to make excuses, wasting time waiting for something to fall into place.

    "The fool, with all his other faults, has this also, he is always getting ready to live…. How late it is to begin really to live just when life must end!"

    Seneca, On the Shortness of Life (quoting Epicurus)

  8. GH Gerberding, Lutheran synod president, writes on the conversion of a jailer in Acts 16. Hands that directly carried out cruelty, upon receiving mercy, now wash and clean those feet. Exercising mercy is a sign of having obtained mercy. Is this a measure many would accept today?

    If we are called by our duty or contract to do difficult things, can we find ways to knock off the unnecessarily harsh or cruel edges from the tasks?

  9. @Tardis @ChocolatePie I agree, there’s been a few in many years with me and it’s certainly doesn’t resolved anything however if people want to talk about things to resolve, the best thing to do, is to do it calmly and both be kind or otherwise you have to move on from it. Easy to say but hard to do. #LifeIsShort #BeKind #AskForHelp

  11. Don't treat your life like an afterthought by squeezing it into the margins of time around your job.

    Instead, design your work around your ideal life.
