Dr. Keith's Pain-2-Power
Marcus Aurelius and Pain-2-Power
Marcus Aurelius, the illustrious Roman emperor, said, “The impediment to action advances acton. What stands in the way becomes the way.” What he meant is that, faced with adversity, we find our strength. Put another way, faced with pain, we find our power. It can be tempting to back down in the face of obstacles. But the right path is forward. Always, forever, forward.
