The Timeless Wisdom of Marcus Aurelius: Lessons on Living a Good Life
<p>The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius is known for his philosophical musings in his work Meditations. Written in the second century AD, this Stoic text provides timeless guidance on how to live a good life. Though Aurelius wrote this mainly for himself, his insightful aphorisms contain universal truths that we can all learn from today.</p>
<p>One of Aurelius’ key ideas is not to waste energy worrying about what other people think or say. As he put it, “Don’t pay attention to other people’s minds. Look straight ahead, where nature is leading you.” We only have control over our own thoughts and actions, so we should focus on living virtuously instead of being distracted by petty gossip or criticism.</p>
