1843 Years Later, These 4 Time Tested Habits by Marcus Aurelius Can Solve Your Life’s Problems
You’re not defined by the problems you encounter but by the solutions you create.
Marcus Aurelius, who was of Italo-Hispanic descent, grew up during a time when his grandfather held high status as prefect of Rome. His great uncle, Hadrian, recognized Aurelius’s potential and took him under his wing from a young age.
Aurelius grew up like any elite Roman class child would — with proper education, physical training, instilled family values, and connections that were highly sought after in that era. However, he never took these privileges for granted. He knew that the right person must know how to use his knowledge and abilities to serve others rather than inflate his own ego.
