What Marcus Aurelius, the emperor of Rome is teaching us, is that what prevents action, actually advances action. The barrier that stands in your way, is what will define your way. 

If the impediment to action turns out to advance our action, we want more impediments. We want to be challenged, we want to face trials, we want obstacles to appear on our path.

In today's episode, we will cover three parts:

First, we’ll understand what Marcus Aurelius meant when writing this line in his journal. 

Second, and because this key lesson is about perception and having the right mindset - you and I will understand how we can position ourselves, and adapt our mind so we can use it. 

Lastly, I think you and I will need some good examples of how this looks when applied by other masters.
