It’s Time To Change

Sobre este episódio

You could argue that Meditations is Marcus Aurelius’ daily philosophical battle with himself to overcome this natural fear of change, to avoid getting trapped in a velvet rut, to not get complacent. Even into old age, Marcus was talking to himself firmly, pushing himself to do better, to not try to stay the same as he always was. It’s why he was famously seen leaving the palace as an old man, trying to learn, as he said, “that which I do not yet know.”They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different outcomes. There's nothing more disheartening than a person who refuses to grow, turn a new leaf, or take a leap of faith into the unknown.Here we are at the end of one year and the beginning of another.
