PERSONAL MANTRAS FOR THE LETTER “M”

Since personal mantras are “personal” affirmations, I found a few that appealed to my own senses. I listed them in a specific and progressive order, and I’m happy that I did that because the final mantra is such a climactic way to end it. In fact, I think that this final mantra, by itself, is extremely powerful and should be repeated daily.

I AM ENOUGH.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.

Marcus aurelius

ABOUT THE IMAGE

The graphic art that I created is meant to mimic the sound of the mantras as they echo through your mind while you read them. Being born in (and a lover of) the 60s, I still equate tie-dye and psychedelics with mantras and meditation. Hopefully that explains the 60’s counterculture effect.

Thank you for joining me for the letter “M” in my series Life: From A to Z. I hope you found something useful and/or enjoyable here!

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Proverbs 4:23
