Tame: Mind Over Matter

Welcome to Episode 21 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:   "The mind is that which is roused and directed by itself. It makes of itself what it chooses. It makes what it chooses of its own experience." Book 6, Chapter 8 "Disgraceful: that the mind should control the face, should be able to shape and mold it as it pleases, but not shape and mold itself." Book 7, Chapter 37 "To feel affection for people even when they make mistakes is uniquely human. You can do it, if you simply recognize: that they’re human too, that they act out of ignorance, against their will, and that you’ll both be dead before long. And, above all, that they haven’t really hurt you. They haven’t diminished your ability to choose." Book 7, Chapter 22 We hope you enjoy our podcast and encourage you to join the conversation by leavi
