Stoic Stress ep 133 : Meditations 3.6 The Power Of Choice
The faculty of choice is an amazing gift that we all have. Marcus Aurelius refers to this as the divinity within us. This was how valuable the ancients Stoics felt about our minds and reasoning ability.
One aspect of life that we all must face is making choices. This passage in Meditations emphasizes this. We have the ability to judgements in life. But we have to be sure these judgements are sound.
An important component to designing your own life is acknowledging and understanding the choices you have in your life, being willing to make the most of those choices, and leveraging the choices you have to select the best path forward for yourself.
Life is not something that just happens to you, and you always have choices. The key to designing the life you really want is knowing exactly what your options are and using all the information at your disposal to make the best selection for you.
Your life is defined by the choices you make. While not everything that happens in your life is up to you, how you respond to life’s circumstances and opportunities is always a matter of choice. Even when you choose not to act or react in your life, you are still making a decision, so long as you understand what is in your control.
