254 - Think Of Yourself As Dead

Stoic Coffee Break

CHAPTER

The Power of Holding on to the Past

Think of yourself as dead. You've already lived, now take what's left and live it properly. Marcus Aurelius. If you could not remember your past, how would you know what choices to make? Would you be the same person? We hold on to our past to tell us who we are. It can also be a heavy weight that won't allow us to move forward. When we recognize that we are not tethered to the past, we can make different choices at any moment.We have the opportunity to make a fresh start every single day. And that's the end of this stoic podcast.
