So much of reality is in our mind. There is so much potential in our hands
"If you are reading this, I want to tell you that everything will be fine.
You are incredible, you are unique, you can face anything in your life, you have the strength within yourself to overcome any obstacle, loss, or situation.
You are not alone, you are loved, you have the right to feel bad and good, you have the right to feel.
Be blessed by these positive vibes and live your life to the fullest.
I am sending my love to the universe so that I can reach you."
The things that disturb us are not things themselves, but our judgments concerning them.
We are not our emotions or thoughts. It's hard to remember this, but this is the beauty of mindfulness and meditation, to remind us that we don't have to identify with the emotions we experience. The mindfulness book "30 Days to Reduce Stress" by Harper Daniels helped me a lot with this, as did Meditations by Aurelius and the Tao Te Ching.
A welcome video!!!!😊
Absolutely love Marco Aurelio 🩵🏛️
Emotions come and go. We can only control our reactions. We can't make emotions stop.

"If you want to improve, you must be content to appear clueless or stupid in extraneous matters." - Epictetus
I love all of these teachings,, I've indulged in them for over 25 years. But for one who is stuck in severe trauma for as much time, they seem to lose all validity
Extremely helpful 😊
Excellent
Its a good wisdom, but we need to pursue our goals without put enormous blame upon brain if fall out of these objectives . Think critically about each step to avoid your collapse entiely and lose the ability to rise up again.
The founder of mindfulness, basically.
@@alt9562 if you knew anything about either, you would know whether or not I speak truthfully.
You do not.

Marcus wrote his thoughts down: so we can learn from him.
Do you know of another great, earlier stoic philosopher we should be learning from as well? I ask because I am curious.
@@alt9562..... 'basically' was a very crucial part of my statement, and OF COURSE he repackages what others have said before him. Thats why his introduction is all about who taught him what, which is also a running theme in his meditations.
He literally did not intend to write a book for others and claim that these were his own ideas. He wanted his meditations, his thoughts and reflections based on the foundation of his teachings, to be burned.
Another great video , i need these 😊
I cant fully agree on no.3. I think it’s pretty subjective.
Negativity is maybe needed if you were a person that does not have motivation but if you have been struggling with negative emotions for the longest time (depression) it leads you back to that sad person you used to be and start having panic attacks again n again.
I think to control emotions, you also need to remind yourself to be grateful and humble as well as being rational. Not entitled or compelled though.
Good timing 😅
can you do solomon?
Ignorance is the cause of fear.
Platitudes 😐
Hypocritical a Roman emperor had this mindset and never use it 😂. He ruled an empire that enslave people by conquering their lands.
He inherited the Roman Empire. His duty as an Emperor was to defend its borders and push back the barbarians.
Not much room for “diplomacy”.
In 2023,his words of wisdom live on in many of us
peace of mind is everything. Happiness comes when we are 100% honest with ourselves and others don't sweat the small stuff 🫶🏼
Marcus Aurelius says ‘You have been formed of three parts - body, breath, and mind. Of these, the first two are yours insofar as they are only in your care. The third alone is truly yours.’
