32: The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius: Book 3 - Passage 11

Marcus Aurelius' Meditations for Modern Life

Thoughts that bother you! Your reactions to things that are said which invoke negative emotions are only so because of our own beliefs, perceptions and previous wounds. What can the thoughts though and emotions we feel relating to things others say of or to us tell us about ourselves? Also learn why things that provoke those emotions will continue to be brought into your life until you understand what your reaction to them is really trying to tell you!
The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a remarkable series of spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the emperor struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. While the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation and encouragement, Marcus Aurelius also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a timeless collection that has been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and readers throughout the centuries. Whilst many of his reflections and ways to live life were based on the teachings of earlier philosophers from the Socratics to the early Stoics, Marcus Aurelius strove to live his life by the principles of his philosophy and in his Meditations articulated those views in a way that remains one of the greatest books of wisdom to have graced the Earth.
