E097: The Noblest Victories
“For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories. ” – Plato
In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:
Stories of overcoming adversity offer proof of the wisdom of Plato’s words. Yes, the enemy is out there, be it on the battlefield or in the arena. But the greatest victories we will ever win come from first confronting and defeating the limitations of our own hearts and minds. To conquer oneself is to transcend the limitations of ego, desire, and fear, and to attain a state of inner harmony and integrity. And that is, indeed, the noblest of all victories.
We talk about overcoming ourselves on today’s podcast.
