Summary
This episode reflects on the Stoic call to care for your own soul. Marcus Aurelius warns that misery comes not from ignoring others, but from neglecting the activity of our own mind. Seneca adds that a well-formed soul—guided by reason, courage, and discipline—becomes independent of fortune, because its true wealth lies within. 👇 👇 👇 📻 FOR MORE STOIC AUDIO CONTENT Check out one of my latest daily Micro Morning Meditations here on Substack: ☀️ Micro Morning Meditation: The Stoic View on Interior Design https://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-the-stoic-b16 Hosted on Acast.
