Marcus AureliusLook back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future too.
About This Quote
If we’re not careful, we can get caught up in the whirlwind of everyday life and lose sight of our goals. It’s easy to let things slip, but it’s also important to take the time to look back over the past and see how far you’ve come. If you can’t remember clearly what you were like before you became successful, then maybe it’s time to stop and reflect on where you are now. You can’t always see the future, so it’s good to remind yourself of how far you’ve come.
