“Does the light of a lamp shine and keep its glow until its fuel is spent? Why shouldn’t your truth, justice, and self-control shine until you are extinguished?”

— MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 12.15

Enable Your Virtues To Shine

You must enable your virtues to shine.

You must enable, encourage and support your virtues to flourish.

There is no need to extinguish yourself — enable yourself to shine!

Do Not Be Your Own Enemy

No matter what you do, you cannot be your own enemy.

You cannot get in the way of your own success and greatness!

When it comes to your virtues, you must allow them to shine bright.

Further, rather than just allowing it, you must encourage and support it.

You must encourage your virtues to shine brightly.

You must let your truth, justice and self control shine!
