THAT    SACRED  PART    OF  YOU

“Hold   sacred  your    capacity    for understanding.  For in  it  is  all,    that    our ruling  principle   won’t

allow   anything    to  enter   that    is  either  inconsistent    with    nature  or  with    the constitution    of  a   logical

creature.   It’s    what    demands due diligence,  care    for others, and obedience   to  God.”

—MARCUS AURELIUS,   MEDITATIONS,    3.9

he fact that you can think, the fact that you can read this book, the fact that you are able to reason in
and out of situations—all of this is what gives you the ability to improve your circumstances and
become better. It’s important to appreciate this ability, because it’s a genuine ability. Not everyone is so
lucky.
Seriously—what you take for granted, others wouldn’t even think to dream of.
Take a little time today to remember that you’re blessed with the capacity to use logic and reason to
navigate situations and circumstances. This gives you unthinkable power to alter your circumstances and
the circumstances of others. And remember that with power comes responsibility.
