9 Stoic lessons of Marcus Aurelius from Meditations

Do YOU ever wonder how to decide in a complicated situation? How to deal with a difficult person? How to maintain your dignity? How to fight swamping distress? How to overcome the fear of death? If your answer is yes, MR. SMART has crafted this animated video with love and care precisely for YOU. Marcus Aurelius braved all these challenges gracefully. And how he did it, he wrote all in his bedside journal later named as Meditations. It was never meant to be published for any fanfare or commercial interests. So, you can safely expect all advice, thoughts, and ideas to be original and genuine right from one of the greatest minds of human history. SUBSCRIBE Mr. Smart so that he can continue making such animated videos for you. Now, let us start to collect the pearls of wisdom:

1) “Life is but what you deem it.”
There is no objective reality in life. Rather our opinions and perceptions shape the realities around us. If someone hurts, insults or ridicules us, it is not the actual words that injure us. But our perception of this event injures and hurts us. Whenever someone does you wrong, ask yourself how this episode can make you stronger and wiser. And then don’t stop feeling the pain. Rather use this pain and anger to fuel your efforts to achieve your targets and make yourself a better person. Watch the animated video to know more.
