“Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts”. Holy shit! It’s amazing that someone was thinking this 2000 years ago.

His infinte selfknowlegde and wisdom is amazing. And this from a man who at long periods of life went troubled and depressed over all the horrors he been through, but he still got up early in the day, and did things big or small. A man who understood the importance have daily routines. He knew life would suck, but still got up every day. Even when all his friends betrayed him. If he is not a worthy leader none is. Or ever were. Respect through millenias.

That’s what’s so profound about it. These were things he wrote to himself, in his non native language, without the intention of publishing it. All while ruling one of the worlds greatest empires. And yet he strived to practice self control, control over his mind, being humble, true, kind, and connected with others. So much to learn from Marcus. A lot of the people in the world today could benefit from his words and ideas

1. "You don't have to turn this into something. It doesn't have to upset you." 2. "The present is all we have to live in. Or to lose.” 3. “Stop whatever you're doing for a moment and ask yourself: Am I afraid of death because I won't be able to do this anymore?" 5. “The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts." 6. "Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions, not outside." 7. “You have to assemble your life yourself, action by action." 8. “You have to assemble your life yourself, action by action." 9. “The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.” 10. "You can also commit injustice by doing nothing.” 11. "Receive without pride, let go without attachment." 12. "If it's endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining." 13. “Have I done something for the common good? Then I share in the benefits." 14. "It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own. 15. “It's unfortunate that this has happened. No. It's fortunate that this has happened and I've remained unharmed." 16. "If it is not right, do not do it. If it is not true, do not say it." 17. "You always own the option of having no opinion." 18. “Ask yourself at every moment. Is this necessary?" 19. "If something is humanly possible, it's attainable by you too." 20. "Think of yourself as dead, you have lived your life. Now take what's left and live it properly." 21. “Someone despises me. That's their problem. 22. "Everything is born from change." 23. “You have power over your mind-not outside events.” 24. "When jarred, unavoidably, by circumstance, revert at once to yourself, and don't lose the rhythm more than you can help." 25. "You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think." 26. “Our life is what our thoughts make it." 27. "If you don't have a consistent goal in life, you can't live it in a consistent way." 28. "Get back up when you fail. Celebrate behaving like a human." 29. "Limit yourself to the present." 30. "The tranquility that comes when you stop caring what they say. Or think, or do. Only what you do.” 32. "Don't you see how much you have to offer? And yet you still settle for less.” 33. “The struggle is great, the task divine-to gain mastery, freedom, happiness, and tranquility." 34. “Do not let others hold you back." 35. "A blazing fire makes flame and brightness out of everything that is thrown into it.?” 36. “To love only what happens... No greater harmony.” 38. "If it's humanly possible, you can do it too." 39. "Choose not to be harmed - and you won't feel harmed. Don't feel harmed - and you haven't been." 40. "Don't procrastinate. Don't confuse. Don't wander. Don't be passive or aggressive. Don't be all about business." 41. "Love the hand that fate deals you and play it as your own.” 42. “Practice even what seems impossible.” 43. "There is never any need to get worked up about things you can't control." 44. "People exist for one another." 45. "The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength."

Thankyou for this. I appreciate it 🙏 ❤

His book Meditations (Gregory Hays' translation) has changed my life and I've recommended it to my friends in the Indian army, my law professors, my fellow students and old classmates and even my relatives whom I don't have the best relationship with! Ryan does God's work and I'm not sure what would have happened if I was not introduced to Stoicism by him when I was! Great job. I don't usually buy books as a 22 year old law student from India, a developing country, but I've bought paperback for Meditations (Gregory Hats) cause of him. Thanks again, Ryan.

@aprofromuk

Ай бұрын

well the stoics learnt it from the east :)

I can't -- and expect to never -- get over the fact that when we read Marcus we are eavesdropping on his own advice to himself. As I understand it, he ordered his "Meditations" to be burned after his death. So he wasn't preaching, or trying to impress anyone, or "seem" a certain way. He was trying to BE a certain way, a way of utmost integrity, of constant self-betterment. And he wanted NO praise or validation for it. And I understand he, largely, LIVED it. All while being Emperor. He seems to me the most Christlike human being ever.

I’ve just written these down. Literally every quote makes great sense and becomes even more clear when you wrote it down. Thank you 🙏

The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength. I would add....to true strength! Thank You!

I loved this video format, I watched the entire video and I was moved by each sentence, since it puts me in a different perspective, a perspective that is necessary on a day-to-day basis. Thanks for this kind of content.

Marcus Aurelius learned a lot and was a big fan of Epictetus who was a slave. A ruler took lessons from a slave. Goes to show teachings can come from all walks of life especially in an arrogant era like that.

Much appreciated ryan really enjoyed this content amazing work you the best at what you do one best writings of our time spreading stoicism much needed for strong men😎💯👍🏼🔥

GREAT video, thanks loads for posting. I've collected Aurelius qoutes for years - so it's great to see so many in one spot... I'm ordering the book. For the last 44 years I've been a family counselor and Christian preacher. I preach only for non-denominational, independent churches whose only foundational writing is the Bible itself. I always find it a bit profound when quotes such as these have direct biblical parallels (as in specific verses that teach precisely what Aurelius is saying). He lived and ruled Rome at precisely the same time Christianity was taking root in the Roman Empire... one book of the New Testament is specifically written to the Christians in Rome (not Catholic at the time, that came later)... but simply wisdom for life and spirituality in their time. I've wondered, as I read his quotes, what influence Christians may have had on him. He was, after all, radically different from most of the Emperors who preceded him. Thanks again, great content, great production quality!

Thank you for the daily reminder!! I love rereading Meditations!! 💕

Marcus Aurelius wisdom shines brightly in this video. The last great emperor indeed. Thank you for sharing!

Let each thing you say , do or intend be like that of a dying person. think of yourself as dead. you have lived your life. now take what’s left and live it properly. The thing you think about determine the quality of your mind.Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts. If it is endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining. You have to assemble your life yourself. Action by action. Ask yourself at every moment is this necessary? Today i escape anxiety. Or no, I discarded it.Because it was within me;in my own perceptions, not outside. Concentrate every minute on doing what is in front of you. You dont have to turn this in to something.it doesnt have to upset you The present is all we have to live or to lose it. Stop whatever you are doing for a moment and ask yourself ”Am i afraid of death because i won’t be able to do it anymore?” You can also commit injustice by doing nothing. It never ceases to amaze me : we all love ourselves more than other people, But care more about their opinion than our own. It’s unfortunate that this has happened. No. It’s fortunate that this has happened and I’ve remained unharmed by it. if it's not right don't do it if it's not true don't say it. If something is humanly possible, it's attainable by you too.

Aurelius is my favorite philosopher/Stoic. I like the fact that most quotes are from his diary that he never intended to be read, it's raw and pure. I think if everyone reflected on his wisdom, the world would honestly be a better place.
