“Only these two questions: Is what he’s doing now the right thing to be doing? Does he accept and welcome what he’s been assigned?”Marcus Aurelius
In modern life, we can apply Marcus Aurelius' questions by evaluating our actions and mindset. For example, if feeling overwhelmed at work, ask yourself if the task at hand is the right priority and if you can accept the workload with grace. By reflecting on these questions, we can align our actions with our values and face challenges with resilience.
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17 encourages believers to do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, aligning actions with faith and values. This parallels with Marcus Aurelius' question about doing the right thing. By seeking wisdom and guidance from God, individuals can make decisions that honor their beliefs and principles.
