This week on the podcast we talk about the scariest decisions we've ever made. and then we answer some questions:
How to train for grinding it out (physically and mentally)
Our differing views on mental toughness ( or lack thereof)
What to do when someone in your life is complacent
In the final decade of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius’ life he wrote a series of personal philosophies intended for himself; these would later be published as Meditations. Some are quotes, most are prescriptions for self-improvement. Aurelius was a student of stoic philosophy. Stoicism deals with emotional intelligence, mind over matter, being tied to nature, and exercising philosophy through actions over words.
Now, really hear and listen to the passage. Maybe play it a few times. But know your mind is powerful. Discipline, concentration and being present take work. But with all work and conditioning whether physical , or mental, it becomes easier over time.
Now, to a short passage from Marcus Aurelius from the book published as “Meditations”
