I can't -- and expect to never -- get over the fact that when we read Marcus we are eavesdropping on his own advice to himself. As I understand it, he ordered his "Meditations" to be burned after his death. So he wasn't preaching, or trying to impress anyone, or "seem" a certain way. He was trying to BE a certain way, a way of utmost integrity, of constant self-betterment. And he wanted NO praise or validation for it. And I understand he, largely, LIVED it. All while being Emperor. He seems to me the most Christlike human being ever.
@@ZM-dm3jg the people 2000 years ago believed everything, there was no science to prove their own ignorance. They were probably more stupid then we now. The stoics were just different
His infinte selfknowlegde and wisdom is amazing. And this from a man who at long periods of life went troubled and depressed over all the horrors he been through, but he still got up early in the day, and did things big or small. A man who understood the importance have daily routines. He knew life would suck, but still got up every day. Even when all his friends betrayed him. If he is not a worthy leader none is. Or ever were. Respect through millenias.

It is truly fascinating how almost all of modern-day quotes you see on different social media platforms were, in an indirect way, derived from some stoic quote.
That’s what’s so profound about it. These were things he wrote to himself, in his non native language, without the intention of publishing it. All while ruling one of the worlds greatest empires. And yet he strived to practice self control, control over his mind, being humble, true, kind, and connected with others. So much to learn from Marcus. A lot of the people in the world today could benefit from his words and ideas
His book Meditations (Gregory Hays' translation) has changed my life and I've recommended it to my friends in the Indian army, my law professors, my fellow students and old classmates and even my relatives whom I don't have the best relationship with! Ryan does God's work and I'm not sure what would have happened if I was not introduced to Stoicism by him when I was! Great job. I don't usually buy books as a 22 year old law student from India, a developing country, but I've bought paperback for Meditations (Gregory Hats) cause of him. Thanks again, Ryan.
Wow… that video just hit me in a way that few things ever have. It’s amazing how words written almost two thousand years ago can still feel so incredibly relevant today. Marcus Aurelius’s thoughts are just timeless.
Aurelius is my favorite philosopher/Stoic. I like the fact that most quotes are from his diary that he never intended to be read, it's raw and pure. I think if everyone reflected on his wisdom, the world would honestly be a better place.
Marcus Aurelius learned a lot and was a big fan of Epictetus who was a slave. A ruler took lessons from a slave. Goes to show teachings can come from all walks of life especially in an arrogant era like that.
Aurelius went out of his way to demand others violate every single one of Aristotle's virtues. He was a fucking psychopath that enslaved the greeks and murdered Christians. Congrats everyone here is now his lab rat years after Aurelius' death.
The best part of Marcus Aurelius is he was on the righteous path and was disciplined while no was watching him. He never cared people acknowledging his discipline and principles, he did it for himself.
It's because we didn't dare that things became difficult. ❤ the minimalism of these videos allowed wisdom to soak into me and change my life. thanks to the producers!

@@snigdha2956 I take it as a particularly empowering and self-accountable variation of "don't make a mountain out of a molehill". You don't have to take offence, escalate a pointless dispute etc. Observe how people develop road rage after being cut off, retaliate with dangerous driving and stay in a bad mood for hours after. They've become a slave to their impulse reactions despite the resoundingly negative results.
Mindfulness inspired me to create my own channel - to gently remind people to stay in the present. I started deeply looking into meditation as someone who struggles with a constantly wandering mind since early university days. Some days are easy but most days are incredibly hard to be present constantly, especially as a student. Calm's audio on meditation has genuinely helped me become a better person and more importantly actively try to be a mindful person. Days are not easy but its the littles steps consistently that count!
GREAT video, thanks loads for posting. I've collected Aurelius qoutes for years - so it's great to see so many in one spot... I'm ordering the book. For the last 44 years I've been a family counselor and Christian preacher. I preach only for non-denominational, independent churches whose only foundational writing is the Bible itself. I always find it a bit profound when quotes such as these have direct biblical parallels (as in specific verses that teach precisely what Aurelius is saying). He lived and ruled Rome at precisely the same time Christianity was taking root in the Roman Empire... one book of the New Testament is specifically written to the Christians in Rome (not Catholic at the time, that came later)... but simply wisdom for life and spirituality in their time. I've wondered, as I read his quotes, what influence Christians may have had on him. He was, after all, radically different from most of the Emperors who preceded him. Thanks again, great content, great production quality!
I loved this video format, I watched the entire video and I was moved by each sentence, since it puts me in a different perspective, a perspective that is necessary on a day-to-day basis. Thanks for this kind of content.
Wow, these quotes from Marcus Aurelius are incredibly profound! His wisdom on self-control, perspective, and resilience is so relevant even today. I especially loved the quote about focusing on what we can control - it's such a powerful reminder to stay grounded amidst chaos. Thank you for sharing these life-changing insights! 🙌✨
I like these thoughts, you control your response, you can't control things outside of your own being, and doing so gives you inner peace and a chance to listen and reflect, my favorite one is the blazing fire quote that is good. thankyou for the post.
I look up stoicism videos after hearing quotes from Kratos in God of War for example, he says 'We must be better" and "The power of any weapon comes from the heart, but only when tempered by the mind, by the discipline, the self-control, of the one who wields it"
Very grateful to Ryan for investing so much of his life into understanding and sharing these teachings and, of course, I'm very grateful to Marcus Aurelius, also. He's helped, they both have really, helped me weather many a storm.
“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.” ― Elie Wiesel
A well presented and thought provoking video. Thanks. "Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking."
⭐️Concentrate every minute on doing what's in front of you. ⭐️The present is all we have to live in.

“When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural.” ― Marcus Aurelius
This video is really inspiring. The artist's passion and talent are palpable in every stroke. The way it captures the beauty of the landscape and the depth of emotions is simply captivating. Without a doubt, it is a true pleasure for the senses and a work that deserves to be appreciated again and again. Congratulations to the creator for sharing his incredible talent with the world! 🎨🌟
Love this! Marcus Aurelius has some really good quotes. I really recommend the film 'Acts of Violence' starring Antonio Banderas. His character fully embodies the teachings.

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.” ― Elie Wiesel
Strong determination for work out and consistency needed. Thanks.

Marcus Aurelius wisdom shines brightly in this video. The last great emperor indeed. Thank you for sharing!
There are a lot of stoicism channels on RUclips, but this is the only one I come back to.
I must of listen to this 100 times already. Thanks Ryan
Every single quote is absolute gold! 🙏🏼
"It's not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste much of it."
So great that I found stoicism. Thanks this video
খুব সুন্দর ভিডিও ধন্যবাদ আপনাকে ভাই
A well presented and thought provoking video. Thanks. "Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking."
Thank You Sir,Your points on nicotine on stress relief and better focus hit me most.Great Video.
⭐️Concentrate every minute on doing what's in front of you.
⭐️The present is all we have to live in. Or to lose.
⭐️Let each thing you would do, say or intend, be like that of a dying person.
⭐️It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.
⭐️It's unfortunate that this has happened. No. It's fortunate that this has happened and I've remained unharmed.
⭐️The tranquility that comes when you stop caring what they say. Or think, or do. Only what you do.
⭐️Don't you see how much you have to offer ? And yet you still settle for less.
This was his personal diary written to himself. A personal to do list. He is a better person than me.
“When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural.”
― Marcus Aurelius
Perfect way to end the week. Thanks Ryan.

Stoicism is a living philosophy to be adopted for peace & tranquility
Love this! Marcus Aurelius has some really good quotes. I really recommend the film 'Acts of Violence' starring Antonio Banderas. His character fully embodies the teachings.
The name is "acts of vengeance"
thank you for sharing this video
I can't believe this man is an emperor of the Roman Empire.
Thank You Marcus
Make more like these, it is really Inspiring
I loved the video. Thank you
Epictetus: "Don't be perturbed, for all things are according to the nature of the universal."
