Tame: Mind Over Matter

Welcome to Episode 17 of Tame, the podcast where we discuss quotes from Marcus Aurelius' 'Meditations' and how we can apply the lessons and logic from the book to our own lives to be stronger, kinder and better people. Today we're discussing the following three quotes: "For every action, ask: How does it affect me? Could I change my mind about it? But soon I’ll be dead, and the slate’s empty. So this is the only question: Is it the action of a responsible being, part of society, and subject to the same decrees as God?" Book 8, Chapter 2 "Perfection of character: to live your last day, every day, without frenzy, or sloth, or pretense." Book 7, Chapter 69 "Alexander the Great and his mule driver both died and the same thing happened to both. They were absorbed alike into the life force of the world, or dissolved alike into atoms." Book 6, Chapter 24 We hope you enjoy our podcast and encourage you to join the conversation by leaving comments, getting in touch on social media and sharing this with people you thin
