"Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one." – Marcus Aurelius

There's something piercingly direct about Marcus Aurelius. This quote doesn't ask for debate or perfection – it calls for action.

In my own life, especially during recovery, I didn't have the luxury of overanalyzing. I had to be resilient, be steady, be grateful – day after day. Not because I felt brave, but because it was the only path forward.

This quote reminds me that becoming is not a theory; it's a practice. Small daily decisions. Quiet consistency. Grace under pressure.
