We must devote time, energy and some resources to getting right the opportunities that are coming through our life, we really need to focus quality Work-Time. It also requires a good slab of discipline for that very reason.
In this time I’ll try to be reflected about this 10 important insights for building my “Self Discipline” from the writings of Marcus Aurelius.
So here are 10 important insights for success from Marcus Aurelius.

2. Narrow your focus
3. Set your discipline in stone
4. Accept the sacrifices
5. Find the right scene
6. Ruthlessly protect your time
7. Live below your means
8. Keep it simple, do Your Job
9. Constantly adapt and learn from failure
10. Live a life centered on principles, not wealth, awards, family or power
He was also a devout student of the philosophy of Stoicism. Meditations starts out with Aurelius listing lessons he’s learned from various people in his life. Aurelius was wise enough to know, though, that there are lessons to be learned from everyone around us. A failing, even multiple failings, doesn’t negate someone’s ability to have a positive impact on your life.
During his rule, Aurelius found the time to construct a series of autobiographical writings, now known as the Meditations. In these writings, the Marcus Aurelius offered a number of key insights on how to build self discipline. I ultimately found the exercise of meditating on Meditations to be rather enriching.
