September 27th: What will prosperity reveal?

Ryan Holiday, The 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

For even peace itself will supply more reason to worry. Not even safe circumstances will bring you confidence once your mind has been shocked — once it get in the habit of blind panic, it can't provide for its own safety. For it doesn't really avoid danger, it just runs away. Yet we are exposed to greater danger with our backs turned. — Seneca, Moral Letters, 104.10b

At every moment keep a sturdy mind on the task at hand, as a Roman and human being, doing it with strict and simple dignity, affection, freedom, and justice- giving yourself a break from all other considerations. You can do this if you approach each task as if it is your lasts, giving up every distraction, emotional subversion of reason, and all drama, vanity and complaint over your fair share. You can see how mastery over a few things makes it possible to live an abundant and devout life- for, if you keep watch over these things, the gods won't ask for more.

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 2.5
