The Importance of Role Models
In this episode, the importance of role models is discussed, drawing inspiration from Marcus Aurelius' 'Meditations.' Marcus Aurelius, considered one of the greatest emperors of Rome, dedicated several pages to praising and learning from the many role models in his life. He acknowledged the attributes he admired in his relatives, teachers, friends, and loved ones, striving to integrate those attributes into his own character. The episode highlights the value of taking time to decide what kind of person one wants to be, observing and learning from the attributes of those around them, and showing gratitude for the role models in their life. Listeners are encouraged to consider their own role models and how they can incorporate their admirable qualities into their own lives.
