A Happy Life

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
Marcus Aurelius


I learned this through living it and I know this to be very true. The way you think will direct your life and very little is needed to make you happy.


10-10-2010 - Addendum
My devotional this morning was about a group of men who were martyred during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. I googled Marcus Aurelius and found out that he was one of the better emperors in Rome but his reign was tainted by his persections of Christians.
While I like his quote and I believe it's true I don't admire or think he was a great man. I felt like I needed to clarify this for anyone who might know who Marcus Aurelius was.
