Ancient Wisdom that will Change Your Life: The Story of Marcus Aurelius

INFP Thrive for Enneagram 9s

For several years I've been interviewing women like myself who packed up everything to start a new adventure in another part of the world.

One of the core values that I talk about is that we will never have this day again -- make it matter. It's my softer way of saying 'If you died tomorrow, would you be satisfied with how you lived this day?'

I knew I didn't invent this way of thinking but I didn't realize that Stoics have been talking about this for thousands of years until I learned about the greatest philosopher king, Marcus Aurelius, who ruled until 180 A.D.

He said, “You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.” (Greg Hays translation).

Marcus wrote down many words of wisdom, and I want to share his story today because he's an ideal example of how we can all live a good life, no matter what obstacles come our way.
I'm joined again by Stoic expert Donald Robertson, author of How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, which explains the Stoic philosophy via Marcus' fascinating story. It's my favorite book on Stoicism!
