One day everything is easy. The next, everything that can go wrong, does. One minute, everyone tells you you’re great. The next, they’ve all ganged up against you. Life is too short…and interminably long. Things move insanely fast…and also take forever. Look at Marcus Aurelius’ life. He loses his father…and is then adopted by two powerful stepfathers. He’s suddenly thrust into power…then forced to wait 19 years to wield it. He’s blessed by enormous wealth…and haunted by tragedy after tragedy. Even his job is emotionally manipulative and impossible–at one point Marcus Aurelius describes being emperor as a kind of deranged world where one “earns a bad reputation by good deeds.” When the Stoics talked about the need for an even keel, this was why. When Antoninus handed power to Marcus, his final word was equanimity for a reason. When you’re in a volatile relationship, when you’re being gaslit, it’s incredibly important that one has a strong sense of self, a strong sense of inner-peace. It was Marcus’s inner-citadel that he relied on to get through the abuse that life threw at him. It was his ability to be like the rock that the waves crashed over that allowed him to endure each onslaught of praise…or adversity. What about you? How will you endure what is in store for you? What emotional stillness are you going to be able to rely on?
