Welcome to Episode 34 of Tame, the podcast where we discuss quotes from Marcus Aurelius' 'Meditations' and how we can apply the lessons and logic from the book to our own lives to be stronger, kinder and better people.

Today we're discussing the following three quotes:

"So other people hurt me? That’s their problem. Their character and actions are not mine. What is done to me is ordained by nature, what I do by my own."

Book 5, Chapter 25

"“Everything is just an impression.” —Monimus the Cynic. And the response is obvious enough. But the point is a useful one, if you take it for what it’s worth."

Book 2, Chapter 15

"Disgraceful: for the soul to give up when the body is still going strong."

Book 6, Chapter 29

We hope you enjoy our podcast and encourage you to join the conversation by leaving comments, getting in touch on social media and sharing this with people you think would benefit from hearing it! Find us on Facebook at Tame: The Podcast and Instagram at @tamepodcast.
