“People use to tell me that business administration is for the practical life and philosophy is for the spirit. Through the years I found it is exactly the opposite–I used philosophy much more practically.

— General Halevi, To a Philosopher-General in Israel, Peace Is the Time to Prepare for War

“External things are not the problem. It's your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.

If the problem is something in your own character, who's stopping you from setting your mind straight?

And if it's that you're not doing something you think you should be, why not just do it?

Then its not a problem. The cause of your inaction lies outside you.

–But how can I go on living with that undone?
Then depart, with good conscience, as if you'd done it, embracing the obstacles too.”
— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
