Aurelius reminds us that each morning should start with clear eyed realism about what the day will bring. You will meet frustration, distraction, and difficult people, not as rare events but as the normal texture of life. The task is not to wish these away, but to decide in advance how you will respond when they arrive.
Aurelius would tell us that a good year is not one without obstacles, but one in which we meet them with steadiness, restraint, patience, and self command.
