LESSONS THROUGH MY EXPERIENCESThe inspiration behind my “Meditations” section of writings is the late Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
Born April 26, 121 AD, Marcus Aurelius served as the ruler of the most powerful Empire at that time from 161-180 AD. Even with the immense responsibilities he was burdened with, he was a faithful follower of Stoicism and Stoic philosophy. The goal of Stoicism is to find calm and peace no matter what may be going on around you. In a way, separating outside forces from inside forces (emotions). |
