Marcus Aurelius, in 85 powerful words, defines the idea that our intentions and dispositions cannot be impeded. He states that our minds can adapt and convert obstacles into opportunities. He concludes with the impactful phrase, 'the impediment to action advances action.' He teaches us to turn obstacles upside down, find alternative routes, and view setbacks as temporary. When faced with a seemingly insurmountable obstacle, we should stay objective, control emotions, and see the good in the situation.
