This Is Why You Shouldn’t Be Jealous | A Proper Frame Of Mind

O tym odcinku

<p>Imagine the jealousy that they must have felt. Hadrian was gifting the purple—the job of the emperor—to a teenager he wasn’t even related to. In 138 AD, his succession plan involved adopting Antoninus Pius who in turn was to adopt young Marcus Aurelius so that he would one day become the most powerful man in the world.</p><p><a href="https://dailystoic.com/there-have-always-been-haters-and-always-will-be/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How many Romans hated Marcus for this?</a> How many distant relatives of Hadrian thought themselves more qualified, more entitled to it? And how many people disliked Marcus throughout the years simply because he seemed to have a perfect life—a happy family, a great reputation, perfect character.</p><p>-</p><p>In today's Daily Stoic Journal excerpt, Ryan reminds us to free ourselves now while we still have time.

We are independent self-efficient people who must remain free and slaves to power.</p><br><p>Grab a hard copy of <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/ryan5?_pos=1&amp;_sid=abdbcc08d&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Daily Stoic Journal here</a> or grab the<a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/products/the-daily-stoic-leather-bound-book" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> leatherbound edition</a>. </p><br><p><em>✉️</em><strong>&nbsp;Sign up for the Daily Stoic email:&nbsp;</strong><a href="http://dailystoic.com/dailyemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail</a></p><p>🏛 Check out the&nbsp;<a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daily Stoic Store</a>&nbsp;for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more.</p><p>📱 Follow us:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/dailystoic/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_stoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
