The Myth of Pandora
one thanked him. Why should
we expect more gratitude than

4. Marcus Aurelius said “When
you arise in the morning, think
of what a precious privilege it
is to be alive—to breathe, to
think, to enjoy, to love.”
5. Let’s remember that the only
way to find happiness is not
to expect gratitude—but to
give for the joy of giving.
Count your blessings—not
your troubles!
6. When fate hands us a lemon,
try to make lemonade.
7. I used to think fear was the
strongest motivator. It certainly
was in law school, that first
year. And while that “reptile
brain” still dictates much of
what we do, over time I’ve
learned that if there is an
answer, maybe it’s hope?
Hope is being able to see that there
is light despite all of the darkness.
