 was a common theme
in seneca's writings let us prepare our
minds as if we'd come to the very end of
life he said
let us postpone nothing let us balance
life's books each day the one who puts
the finishing touches on their life
each day is never short of time but
seneca's greatest contribution
on the topic of life's final act is that
it wasn't
actually a final act death seneca
realized is not something that lay ahead
of us
in the uncertain future he realized that
we were dying
every day the time you have spent
listening to this video
you have died just a few minutes no day
no minute no second once dead can be
revived
it's not that we have a short time to
live seneca said but that we waste a lot
of it there is therefore only one thing
we should do he said
live immediately so if you take anything
from seneca's writings from his wisdom
from the philosophy that so
offered you counsel it is that go out
and live
now while you still can fortune is
fickle
do not wait take it now
live while you can
there was no one like him marcus
aurelius
the last of the five good emperors
marcus aurelius was a student of
stoicism
an ancient school of philosophy founded
in athens
in the early 3rd century bc on the
belief that we don't control the world
around us
we control only how we respond marcus
was the leader of a world
facing a pandemic which spanned 15 years
civil unrest wars on the border cultural
decadence income inequality and so much
more
and so it's easy to see why he was drawn
to this philosophy
he compared himself to someone seeking
relief from a rash or a burn
and that stoicism was his soothing
ointment
a warm lotion and that's why marcus
aurelius
tried to provide in meditations his only
known work
a totally unique and peerless document
in the annals of history
to pass on this ointment this guidance
this medicine
to future generations as bran blanchard
the historian would note
few now care about the marches and
counter-marches of the roman commanders
what the centuries have clung to is the
notebook of thoughts
of a man whose real life was largely
unknown
who put down in the midnight dimness not
the events of the day or the plans of
the morrow
but something of far more permanent
interest the ideals
and the aspirations that a rare spirit
lived by
and that's what stoicism was designed to
be medicine for the soul
relieving us of the vulnerabilities of
life and restoring us
with vigor to what we need to thrive at
dawn when you have trouble getting out
of bed
marcus aurelius said tell yourself i
have to go to work as a human being
what do i have to complain of if i am
going to do what i was born for
the things i was brought into this world
to do or is this what i was created for
to huddle under the blankets and stay
warm
it is one of the most relatable moments
in meditations this argument marcus
aurelius was having with himself
in the opening of book five it's clearly
an argument he had many times on many
mornings
as many of us have he knows he has to
get out of bed
but so desperately wants to remain under
the warm covers
it's relatable but it's also impressive
marcus didn't actually have to get out
of bed
being the emperor meant that he didn't
have to do anything he could have slept
in
every day without immediate consequence
no one would have docked his pay
no one would have asked him why he was
late and yet here
marcus was insisting that he rise early
and get to work
why as dante wrote in his epic poem
beneath
the blanket is no way to fame you can't
accomplish anything curled up under the
covers
marcus knew that winning the morning was
key to winning the day and winning at
life
he knew that being the most powerful man
in the world still didn't exempt him
from living as nature requires he knew
that his status didn't mean anything and
that his obligations to it were waiting
for him to wake up
he knew that sleeping in would only mean
that he had a lot of catching up to do
and that he had handed over control and
was now in reactionary mode
and so it's simple if you want to be
productive get more done
and be great you have to get up early
our actions
may be impeded marcus aurelius wrote but
there can be no
impeding our intentions or our
dispositions
because we can accommodate and adapt the
mind adapts and converts to its own
purposes
the obstacle to our acting the
impediment to action
advances action what stands in the way
becomes the way
one way to go through life is to turn
