沉思錄是我的腦袋有時候無法放空的時候，很喜歡閱讀，透過閱讀，可以把想法脫離現實，轉到書中。閱讀了一本「馬可‧奧里略」撰筆的沉思錄，讓我的精神連接到古羅馬時代了。
▎沉思錄的由來
《沉思錄》是一部由古羅馬帝國皇帝馬可·奧里（Marcus Aurelius）為自己所寫的反省筆記，希臘語：Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν, Ta eis heauton，英語：Meditations, 意譯為「自我反省的思考／作品」。
馬可·奧里於西元161年至180年期間統治羅馬帝國，雖在位期間面臨許多戰爭與挑戰，他運用自省的能力與哲學智慧，逐一解決問題。在繁亂的戰爭下，羅馬帝國也保持的相對穩定。他是羅馬帝國五賢帝時期最後一位君主，也是最著名的一位，以賢明的統治者與務實領導而著名。
主要為斯多葛學派觀點，分析一個人對自我和他人的判斷以及發展宇宙視角的重要性。

▎沉思錄一百句
1~25
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
你的生活幸福程度取決於你的思想品質。
我們的生活快樂與否，與我們內心的思想品質密不可分。如果我們培養正面、積極、樂觀的思想，我們更有可能在生活中找到滿足感和快樂。反之，如果我們的思想充滿負面、消極或者沮喪，那麼這些思想可能會影響我們的情緒和行為，進而影響到整個生活的質量。
換句話說，我們的思想不僅是內在世界的折射，也是影響我們外在生活的根本原因。這一理念強調了積極心態的重要性，因為積極的思考有助於建立更豐富、更有意義的生活。
You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
你擁有對自己思想的控制權，而不是外在的事件。體認到這一點，你就會找到力量。
我們應該專注於自己的內心思想，不受外在問題的控制，鼓勵自己內心發掘出強大的力量，找回屬於自己的控制權。
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. 創造一個幸福的生活所需的很少，這一切都存在於你自己內部，體現在你的思考方式中。
幸福不是取決於外在的豐富資源，而是建立在個人對生活態度和思維方式的深刻理解上。
The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it. 宇宙無時不在變化，而我們的生活正是由我們的思想所塑造。
生活中的變化是不可避免的，但我們對這些變化的看法和處理方式，卻能夠決定我們的生活品質。我們需要意識到，該如何以積極和開放的態度迎接變化，從而塑造更豐富、有意義的人生。
The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. 靈魂如同染色一般，其色彩取決於所擁有的思想。
一個人的思想和價值觀念可以對其靈魂產生深遠的影響，就像是染上了某種顏色一樣，使其與眾不同，這種影響可能會在其行為、態度和人生選擇等方面體現出來。因此，這句話的含義是要強調思想對人類行為和生活的深遠影響。
Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears. 拒絕感到受傷，傷害本身就會消失。
這句話困擾我很久，因為我不會拒絕，所以當我受到傷害的時候，我選擇接受，但當接受了這個傷害，會一直日以繼夜的反覆翻開受傷的地方，看看傷口是否已結痂。
然後，我開始調適自己轉變心態，面對傷害的時候，我能做到得是允許自己受傷，但我仍然可以放下這個傷害，不讓它結痂，轉而建立心靈力量的內在與和平。
Small acts of kindness are the source of a great life. 小小的善行是偉大的生命之源。

我們必須學會忍受無法避免的事情。我們的生活就像世界的和諧一樣，由不和諧的聲音和不同的音調組成，有甜美的，有刻薄的，有尖銳的，有平淡的，有柔和的，也有響亮的。如果一個音樂家只喜歡其中一部分，他還能聽到什麼呢？
Concentrate every minute on doing what's in front of you with precise and genuine seriousness, tenderly, willingly, with justice. And on freeing yourself from all other distractions.

要過一個有意義的人生。如果有神明且他們是公正的，他們不會因為你有多虔誠而接納你，而是會根據你的行為來判斷你是否有美德。如果有神明，但是不公正，那麼你也不應該去崇拜他們。如果沒有神明，那麼當你離開這個世界時，你的靈魂也隨之消逝，但你的人生將因為你的高尚行為而被你的親人所紀念。
