Bleeding Edge

Can’t recall who said this but someone can elucidate me…

Yet, as I think and seek wisdom — I recall our old friend Marcus Aurelius and his admonishments such as this gem bellow, all born out from the hardships of his own life starting out as a lowly slave, and educating & training himself to becoming a gladiator of the arena of the Roman Collossium, a fighter of distinction, always rising as a fearless fighter and becoming a tactical military genius, and a leader of men rising to the standard of a Roman Legion General, and eventually becoming (by most accounts) the best Roman Emperor ever.

He also said that our inner Courage is what matters most:

So as I ponder this — What profit is to the man to conquer all of the world, but to not be able to conquer oneself? — I seek the wisdom of divine Spirit and your Councel to find…

He famously said this about his own nature:

“A harmless man is not a good man. A good man is a very dangerous man who has conquered that strong nature and keeps it under voluntary control”
-Marcus Aurelius
