Marcus Aurelius' Advice For Better Days

This video encourages readers to embrace their natural tendencies and fulfill their purpose as human beings, rather than succumbing to the temptation to stay in bed and avoid work. It notes that plants, animals, and insects all diligently perform their tasks to keep the world in order, and humans should do the same. The author argues that people who love what they do will wear themselves down doing it, and that helping others is a valuable use of one's time and effort. This video concludes by urging readers to subscribe to the Daily Stoic email for daily doses of wisdom.
