EP170: The NEED to Conquer the World vs Conquering One's Self

This week I was reminded of a powerful Linkin Park song titled One More Light. This reminder led me down the rabbit hole known as Youtube where I found a heartfelt live performance of this song dedicated to one of his close friends, singer Chris Cornell, who committed suicide the previous day. Two months after that performance, Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington took his own life.   On the surface, it appeared these men had it all. They were known throughout the world for their voice and had crowds eating out of the palm of their hands. Their talent allowed them to slay the music charts but, like so many others, their gift came from a place of pain. It is this pain that they were not able to conquer.   In this episode, I pull thoughts and ideas from Marcus Aurelius and Alexander the Great to try to help understand the inner struggles that we all face and how if we can conquer them, we can conquer anything!
