What thoughts now occupy my mind?

From The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman. 

Understand at last that you have something in you more powerful and divine than what causes the bodily passions and pulls you like a mere puppet. What thoughts now occupy my mind? Is it not fear, suspicion, desire, or something like that?

—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 12.19
