"If it is endurable, endure it" has gotten me through many tough moments in my life.

[ABC-xpbd]

"Never argue what a good man is. Be one."
-Marcus Aurelius

My favorite passage in meditations is him talking about mornings where he doesn’t want to get out of bed. Makes him human. And makes the way he lived all the more admirable.

[yellowlightingbolt]

A man, who had unlimited power, wrote to himself before going to bed at night that the best revenge to your enemies is not becoming like them. That is all you need to know to understand that he was one of the most extraordinary human beings ever existed.

[StoicEvolution]

"When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love." - Marcus Aurelius

"All men suffer. Not all men pity themselves." -- Marcus Aurelius. I can’t explain how much hope in myself this video instilled..

“Receive without pride,
let go without attachment”
-Marcus Aurelius

I mean he drank opium laced wine before bed every night....you'd be feeling pretty immortal if you did that too.

Lost my mother at 22, and my baby sister now at 28. Marcus and his teachings have been keeping me sane since.

I come back to this video whenever I’m stressed. Good narration with good ambient noise and an overall message to calm down and face whatever I’m getting stressed by

This is why Superman is one of my favorite superheroes. They say he’s overpowered, but I feel like that’s the point. He could think of himself as a god like Zod, but he decides to work for a newspaper company.

When my dad died, the following day I went out to a little forested peninsula near my house with a bag of sunflower seed, listened to Meditations on audiobook, and fed Chickadees from my hand. Best thing I think I could have done. I've been handling the grief 10x better than I expected to. It's not frozen or suppressed grief, it's processed.

My best friend of 22 years, he was my brother from another mother, my family. His name was Mark Ayers and I use to call him Marcus Aurelius all the time. He was an amazing tattoo artist and the best father I had ever seen in my life. He was hit by a truck while riding his motorcycle June 2020. I cried every day for a year and I still break down from time to time. He had a beautiful soul! I miss him.

In the midst of one of the most stressful, unpleasant weeks in my life this video as been a reassurance, reminder and salve. Your output is such incredibly high quality but this has genuinely helped me in a tough time. I really, really appreciate it. Thank you.

There's so much more beneath the surface. Find the forbidden book Whispers of Manifestation on Borlest to discover what they're not telling us.

I think one of the most important parts of Marcus’ story is how old he was when he became an emperor. He was around 39 years old, and had known he was destined for that seat almost his whole life. Marcus wasn’t born perfect, and I’m sure he didn’t entirely live perfect. Yet, when it mattered most he was good. Even if you don’t see yourself as Marcus today, it doesn’t mean you never will. He would’ve never became the man we know if he didn’t believe he could become that man, no matter how imperfect he had already been. Be kind to yourself, and live up to your potential.

"All men die, but not all men die complaining" - Marcus Aurelius: The line that resonates with me the most, creating shivers even.

[toziassmitt]

“Do not pray for easier times, pray for the strength to overcome tough times” 💯

[Myyzell]

“all men die but not all men die complaining” this hit deep. extremely great video thank you for this.

[nicknad]

One interpretation of Meditations is that Marcus was an anxious human and used his meditations as a diary to remind himself how to behave
