Tame: Mind Over Matter

Welcome to Episode 27 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:   "Today I escaped from anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions—not outside." Book 9, Chapter 13   "Things wait outside us, hover at the door. They keep to themselves. Ask them who they are and they don’t know, they can give no account of themselves. What accounts for them? The mind does." Book 9, Chapter 15   "Nature gives and nature takes away. Anyone with sense and humility will tell her, “Give and take as you please,” not out of defiance, but out of obedience and goodwill." Book 10, Chapter 14   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 think would benefit from hearing it!
