Stoicism: Choosing How to See Obstacles
In his meditations, Marcus Aurelius reflects on the concept of stoicism, emphasizing that our perspective on obstacles determines how we handle them. He believes that it is fortunate when challenges arise because they allow us to demonstrate our ability to adapt and overcome. For the Stoics, every situation, even the most difficult ones, presents an opportunity to practice virtues such as courage, justice, discipline, and wisdom. Therefore, they view obstacles as a pathway to personal growth and excellence.
