However, what made him truly badass was his deep philosophy.Īlongside Seneca and Epictetus, he famously practiced the philosophy of Stoicism. Being emperor did not only make him the ruler of Rome, it made him the most powerful man in the entire world.īeing the ruler of Rome made Marcus Aurelius, a badass. It is the longest-held empire that has ever existed and Marcus Aurelius held reigns to it all. Rome is the juggernaut of ancient history and laid the foundation of Western civilization. What if I told you, someone overcame it all through philosophy and wrote it down all in one book? What if I told you, the most powerful man in the ancient world had the same struggles and fears as we did? What if I told you, someone did obtain that superpower to endure anything and everything? Where do we even start? Let’s start with a teacher. If you can control your internal state of being that is a real superpower.īut how can we do that? It’s so much easier said than done. To overcome everything outside, you must overcome everything inside. The only thing we can control is ourselves, the internal. The reality is we do not have control over many things.Īnything external, we cannot control (the weather, other people, our circumstances, etc). If we did, we all would be living in paradise already. We cannot fix every single problem in the world. (There is a light at the end of the tunnel! Bear with me! Without the bad, there is no good, right?)Ĭan we overcome all external problems that are infinite in life? Is that concept even attainable? For your first blog post, got anything positive to say?”
We have a lot of shit in life and death is all around us.
