Never heard of this reference until now. Love how you tied that in. Loved even more you showed up for yourself despite a rough situation. I’m sure your son was proud!

I just finished Meditations for the first time a few months ago. It has literally reframed the way that I interact with the world now. I am currently reading discourses from Epictetus. It blows me away how relative the struggles are that Marcus went through almost 2000 years ago are to what we face today. Amazing application of beautiful philosophy, thanks for sharing!

Dude, that's fantastic to hear! I do love Meditations but Discourses from Epictetus is my favorite. The wisdom is timeless and simple. Please, share with me your thoughts on Discourses when you finish. Also, check out Letters From a Stoic by Seneca when you finish it.

Great article. I am glad you were safe and your car wasn't scared for life. That paint job Mark did held its own.
