106/365: Marcus Aurelius on vocations

As you contemplate the work you have — to-do’s, meetings, email, projects — don’t forget that the primary vocation we all have is to be a good person.

We control that, that’s what counts.

It doesn’t pay the bills, sometimes it costs extra, but it’s the foundation we build everything else on that enables true good work.
