Meditations | Marcus Aurelius

Pickpick

I started this about 9 months ago; been reading through it slowly. It‘s not a work to consume so much as something to snack on. On a day when you‘re feeling the need for something less hollow than a positive affirmation, this is a good one to pick up. It‘s clear that Aurelius was an introspective man, & his insights into himself has helped me many a day when I have found myself questioning my actions & purpose.

Also really love this edition.

My family (spouse, kids, me) have been meeting up every evening for nearly 15 years to each share 1 thing we're grateful for, 1 thing we're sorry about, and 1 thing we intend for the next day. Recently we've added 1 thing we learned that day and an excerpt from the tagged. It's been helping all of us to reflect, like the Stoics, on what is in our control vs what isn't and to try to put our energy into the former.

GingerAntics This book has been sitting on my TBR for over a year. Maybe it‘s time to take this bad boy for a spin. We could all use a little grounding and focusing in these trying times. 1mo
ImperfectCJ @GingerAntics Some days the commentary on the passages is better than others, but it always prompts good discussions among our little family, especially when we disagree with the author's interpretation. Now we all want to read more Seneca and Marcus Aurelius. 1mo
GingerAntics @ImperfectCJ I have a few Seneca books in my Apple Books library. I haven‘t read them, but they‘re there. 1mo

“One does not magically get one‘s act together- it is a matter of many individual choices. And make no mistake: while the individual action is small, its cumulative impact is not.”
