3 Motivational Tips by the Stoics
As the new year approaches, many of us are thinking about ways to improve ourselves and make the most of the coming year. If you’re looking for some inspiration and motivation to help you on your journey, consider these three Stoic quotes:
“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” — Marcus Aurelius
This quote reminds us that obstacles and challenges are a natural part of life, and that they can actually be used as opportunities for growth and improvement. Rather than getting discouraged or giving up when faced with a difficult situation, consider how you can use it as an opportunity to learn and grow.
“You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” — Marcus Aurelius
This quote reminds us that we have control over our own thoughts and attitudes, and that we have the power to choose how we respond to difficult situations. By focusing on what we can control and letting go of what we can’t, we can find inner strength and resilience.
“It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.” — Marcus Aurelius
