Marcus Aurelius' Trick To Accepting Everything Life Throws At You

Life was just one thing after another for Marcus Aurelius.

The plague. The flooding. The wars. He did not meet with, “the good fortune he deserved,” one ancient historian noted, “as his whole reign was a series of troubles.”

We can imagine Marcus, after the 50th piece of bad news just saying, “alright just put it on my tab.” What was one more thing at that point? What did it even matter?

It would do us good to borrow this attitude, particularly lately.

Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power. Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it. Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.

Ah yes, my 15 year run of bad luck in which not a single thing has worked out, and most things backfired and made things worse. Tab's maxed out at this point.
