"The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it"
- Marcus Aurelius
About this Quote
This quote by Marcus Aurelius speaks to the power of our ideas and how they form our lives. The universe is constantly altering and developing, and our lives are no different. Our thoughts have the power to shape our lives, and the way we think about the world and our location in it will identify the course of our lives. If we think positively and concentrate on the great, we will have the ability to develop a life that has lots of delight and satisfaction. On the other hand, if we focus on the negative and believe pessimistically, our lives will be filled with unhappiness and anguish. Our thoughts have the power to produce our reality, and it is up to us to pick how we want to believe and what kind of life we wish to create.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
