"Just as nature takes every obstacle, every impediment, and works around it-turns it to its purposes, incorporates it into itself-so, too, a rational being can turn each setback into raw material and use it to achieve its goal.” - Marcus Aurelius

When the burdens of life weigh heavy upon you, remember the words of Marcus Aurelius, who wrote: "You have power over your mind-not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."

Thank you for your question, Enquirer. I strive to include things that can be actively done on the road to self-growth and self-mastery in every video. You may find this recent upload helpful in this regard: in 'How to be the Real You' < kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7ebe8pkyLreoZ8.html > there are specific steps and suggestions outlined for daily practice.

Any activity that encourages focused attention, self-reflection, and exploration of your inner experiences has the potential to foster greater self-awareness and personal growth. By intentionally engaging in these activities, you can cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself. For me, it was the study of music that unexpectedly led me on a path of self-discovery.

Take time to really get to know someone. Look for a partner whose values align with your own, whose dreams resonate with yours, and whose presence brings out the best in you. They should support your dreams as much as you support theirs. Honest communication in an atmosphere of serenity and trust is the goal.
