Marcus Aurelius | Meditations 1:1

In this thought-provoking video, we see Marcus Aurelius, one of the most influential Stoic philosophers, citing the first meditation from his book "Meditations". He reflects on the valuable lessons he learned from his mentors, including his grandfather Verus, his father, his mother, and his great-grandfather.

As he shares these teachings, we are reminded of the importance of good morals, self-control, modesty, and the pursuit of wisdom. Marcus Aurelius emphasizes the significance of having good role models and mentors, and the impact they can have on shaping our character and values.

This video is a powerful reminder that even the most revered leaders and thinkers of history were shaped by the teachings of others. It encourages us to reflect on our own mentors and the lessons they have imparted upon us, and to strive to be the best versions of ourselves in their honor.
