3 Stoic Teachings from Meditations, Book 5 | Meditations by Marcus Aurelius | Chapter Chop | #96

In today’s episode, I’ll be breaking down three of my favorite quotes from book 5 of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and trying to see how they could be applied to modern life as many of Stoicism's teachings can be.

“At the break of day, when you are reluctant to get up, have this thought ready to mind: “I am getting up for a man’s work. Do I still repent it, if I am going out to do what I was born for, the purpose for which I was brought into the world? Or was I created to wrap myself in blankets and keep warm? But this is more pleasant. Were you then born for pleasure—all for feeling, not for action?"

That is today's quote. Let's break down the Stoic teachings found within it.
