Within.............................................



12.  Work yourself hard, but not as if you were being made a victim, and not with any desire for sympathy or admiration.  Desire one thing alone:  that your actions or inactions alike should be worthy of a reasoning citizen.


13.  Today I have got myself out of all my perplexities;  or rather, I have got the perplexities out of myself - for they were not without, but within;  they lay in my own outlook.


-Marcus Aurelius,  Meditations,  Book IX
