Living with Purpose: The Wisdom of Marcus Aurelius
Explore living each moment with purpose, balancing emotions with reason, and cultivating authenticity and patience, as guided by Marcus Aurelius in 'Meditations'. Discover a path to a fulfilling life.
I love this quote from Meditations:
“If you do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind tells you, stop being hypocritical, self-centered, irritable. You see how few things you have to do to live a satisfying and reverent life? If you can manage this, that’s all even the gods can ask of you.”
What did Marcus Aurelius mean by this?
At first glance, this powerful statement from Marcus Aurelius calls us to live each moment with purpose and integrity, as if it might be our last. But there's much more to unpack here, lessons that can transform the way we lead and live.
