1:22
philosophers confucious and Marcus
1:25
aelius today we're constantly connected
1:28
yet feeling more isol olated than ever
1:30
before we're stuck in this vicious cycle
1:33
of constant stimulation where our minds
1:36
are always racing and our bodies are
1:38
always on the go we're exhausted drained
1:42
and struggling to find quiet in the
1:44
midst of the chaos and if that's not
1:47
enough the constant comparisons on
1:50
social media are making us feel like
1:52
we're just not good enough that we're
1:54
failing in some way we're living in a
1:57
society that's obsessed with
1:58
productivity where business is worn like
2:01
a badge of honor we're told to hustle
2:03
harder work longer hours and sacrifice
2:06
our well-being for the sake of success
2:09
but in this Relentless pursuit of
2:11
achievement we're forgetting to take
2:13
care of ourselves to breathe to relax
2:16
and to Simply Be we're caught up in this
2:19
NeverEnding cycle of Stress and Anxiety
2:21
where we're always trying to control the
2:23
uncontrollable and fighting battles that
2:26
we can't win it's no wonder we're
2:28
feeling drained tired and utterly lost
2:33
confucious taught us the importance of
2:35
Harmony and balance in life he believed
2:38
that by aligning ourselves with the
2:40
natural order of the universe we could
2:42
find a sense of calm and Inner Peace by
2:45
embracing the present moment and letting
2:47
go of our attachments to outcomes we can
2:50
begin to live a life that's more
2:52
authentic more grounded and more at
2:55
peace for confucious inner peace was all
2:58
about living in harmony with with others
3:01
ourselves he believed that by
3:03
cultivating virtues like empathy
3:05
kindness and compassion we could create
3:08
a sense of unity and connection that
3:10
would bring us in a peace and at the
3:12
heart of it all was the concept of WOAY
3:15
the art of effortless action where we
3:17
align ourselves with the natural flow of
3:19
life and let go of our need to
3:21
control Marcus aelius on the other hand
3:25
took a more stoic approach to Inner
3:27
Peace he believed that true Freedom lay
3:30
in our ability to accept what we cannot
3:32
change and to focus on what we can
3:34
control our thoughts our emotions and
3:38
our actions by embracing the present
3:41
moment and letting go of our desires for
3:43
external validation we can begin to live
3:46
a life that's more authentic more
3:48
resilient and more at peace as Aurelius
3:52
so beautifully put it the impediment to
3:54
action advances action what stands in
3:57
the way becomes the way for him inner
4:01
peace wasn't about avoiding challenges
4:03
or difficulties it was about embracing
4:05
them and using them as opportunities for
4:08
growth one of the most powerful quotes
4:10
that encapsulates the approach of these
4:12
two philosophers is from confucious when
4:15
it is obvious that the goals cannot be
4:17
reached don't adjust the goals adjust
4:20
the action steps isn't that just so
4:23
profound it's all about letting go of
4:26
our need for control and embracing the
4:30
this quote speaks directly to our
4:32
modern-day anxieties about success
4:34
failure and Perfection it reminds us
4:38
that true inner peace comes not from
4:40
achieving some external goal but from
4:42
being present in the moment and
4:44
embracing the journey
4:45
itself for me this quote is a powerful
4:48
reminder that inner peace isn't about
4:50
achieving some sort of mystical State
4:52
it's about being grounded present and at
4:55
peace with ourselves others and the
5:00
as we reflect on the wisdom of
5:01
confucious and Marcus Aurelius let's
5:04
remember that finding inner peace is a
5:07
destination it's a journey that requires
5:10
patience self-awareness and a
5:12
willingness to let go of our need for
