@永乐 it's not freeloading. That type of thinking that's "Obviously" going on in your head is poor/middle class mentality. Think like the rich. Which would beeeee, why pay for it if I'm smart enough to find it free. Stay poor bub 😘

I really want to express how much I appreciate this! So many creators don't offer a guide to targeted listening. It's something that really keeps me coming back. I happened to listen to this video all the way through, but I want to make sure you know how much it is appreciated. I've applied stoicism more in the last three months, than I have in the past three years, and your content has been key! Keep up the good work! Thank you.
My nephew turned me onto your email,and RUclips shows. I’m 71 in the throws of mourning my husband of 47 years and you have given me more to know in this life I have lived so far. I thank you for that. We have had a beautiful marriage of which I’m beyond grateful and I have many blessings in my grandchild my family and the people around me. I’m glad to add you as one of those blessings to make even more of this life that I have no regrets of. I’m sad and missing but I also know what I had and what I have and all to give. Thank you
My condolences on your husband's passing. I hope you're surrounded by loving ppl who sit with you while you grieve the way you need to at your own pace.
Aww Aunty Mary...we are here for you ...xxx Your blessed 47 good years and family. In this day and age its hard to find a genuine partner. People have to big egos and are too confident to not appreciate love because of technology and swipe and finding replacements then solving and embracing situations.
"Look for the poetry in ordinary things." Back in college I took a poetry writing course. I remember my professor stressing the idea that if you're going for a walk or a jog that you shouldn't wear headphones because you miss out on the beauty of so many things. Your surroundings and even the rhythm of your own heartbeat are beautiful things that can inspire many great lines. I've never forgot this and even though I don't write poetry anymore, I still think like a poet. However, I wouldn't recommend not wearing headphones in a gym because they're usually blaring some garbage.
I recently started this practice a few months ago, and it's been a revelation. Ditching the headphones has made me more attuned to the nuances and beauty in everyday moments, in everyday life. It's also made me more mindful and intentional about when I do listen to music. Everyday life doesn't need a soundtrack; it already has its own if you are open to experiencing it.
As a recovering addict stoicism is the best philosophy I could have ever encountered. I still have a long way to go to being the person I want to be but employing these strategies has transformed me into a person I can be proud of. I've been in sobriety / recovery since 2017. Have overcome severe mental health conditions and am focusing on my passion in life. Its wonderful.
Shelley, you're awesome and don't EVER forget that! Keep fighting the good fight, its worth it, the people that love you is worth it, you're worth it to the people that love you, and most importantly you're worth it to yourself💜💪❤.
I’ve been listening to this video every morning for the last 3weeks while getting ready and it’s made me more relaxed and I’ve seen an improvement in myself 👍🏻
It’s with all this stoicism trend nowadays that I’ve discovered that I’ve been a stoic all my life without even knowing it! Interestingly, sometimes I felt that I had an “uncommon” approach to the situations which didn’t match the usual behavior of many people, and that made me think that maybe I was wrong about my way of thinking. But it just happened that I was a stoic 😄 good that now I can name it and be proud of it!
I just realised I can totally use "the obstacle is the way" when teaching maths. We talk in education about how the struggle to understand something is actually so important to making it stick in your brain. Anything to keep up my persona as the "weird teacher" anyway lol.
Many need to know this. A known podcast in the US taught me how the rich seek the ideas of FinanciaI ConsuItants to help earn success. That’s the secret the rich don’t teach you. I took this step and my finance breathes so good now 🤑
To acquire success, you need the help of a FinanciaI consuItant. I engage in a variety of lnvestments with the ideas of my consuItant and have acquired great returns so far. (the amount is confidential).
Opportunity is a scarce commodity. I will partake in this; there’s no limit to what you can achieve in life (including success) if you put your mind to it. Luckily I stumble into this.
These virtues are basically the same as the fruits of the Holly Spirit we are though to practice for an enriched, Peacefull, meaningful life and Afterlife
Took screenshot of every slide. Noted on the paper. Pasted on the wall in front of my study table. Now, every morning, I read all the rules slowly as it will take time to get into your subconscious. Live, Love and Levitate...!!
In my opinion this video is your Magnum Opus, it embodies everything that Daily Stoic stands for and a lot of what Stoicism is about, the practices talked about here are timeless and universal, thank you so much for this.
When I think of Marcus Aurelius’s teachings I always remember - Give me the SERENITY to ACCEPT the things that I can’t control, the COURAGE to CHANGE the things that I can, and the WISDOM to know the DIFFERENCE. ❤😊
Hi, Ryan, wow, what a treasure. If you’d have find 52, there’ll be one for every week of the year to think about and work with… I’ll translate it into German and make a picture of it. I always admired the Stoics and they helped me a lot during my life. There are of course reasons I found them. My favourite was always EPIKTET, thank you I know now a lot more. Never too old to learn new skills. Love, Monika❣️
This is the real content and spread positivity all over the world. I am from india I share this video to all my friends because this rules is very impressive. Almost 2 weeks plus I watched this video everyday to remind this rules 👍
"Everything you do, you chose to purchase with your life" This hit me so hard. I never thought of life/death, every moment that we have, useless things that i spent time on, this way. So profound, and awe-inspiring.
Since I was a kid I have read stoicism,became so depressed under the pandemic and brought me back to stoicism,under the pandemic I had reviewed my entire lifetime,I had not find regrets on me,other than not getting my Hi School Diploma or GED.
It is almost 6 month of war here in Ukraine. And my native city is right on the front line. All these missile strikes, artillery , etc. ruining places that were part of my life and killing people I knew made me to revise some thoughts on life priorities. Extreme situations like this kind of underline what is really important in your life. A food and water enough to be healthy and sometimes something tasty just for pleasure of tasting a good dish. Clean and warm bed to sleep. Possibility of having a walk in the park and watching birds, squirrels , etc. People you care are in safety and are healthy. An opportunity to work on things you want to master. This is actually it. Its actually what is enough. Situation brought me to something on the edge of stoicism and Nietzschean overcoming of yourself. And while googling on stoicism I came across with your channel. Just want to say - thank you. You are doing a great job sharing thoughts and spreading an ideas to people that need them!
Andrii. I follow the Ukraine War pretty much daily and wanna tell you how sorry I am that your country suffers this injustice. I think of you guys every day, praying for you to meet your sovereign objectives and for this nightmare to be over. Better days ahead, my friend! A lot of people in the world care about Ukraine❤️
OMG - I’m enjoying this so much… I’m in my mid seventies now. I studied Eastern wisdom traditions most of my life: Buddhism, Zen, and Taoism, but I knew nothing at all about the Stoics. Over my 70+ years I had developed some personal ideas and outlooks that helped me along the way. Then… over the past few months because of these vids on RUclips I have been introduced to the Stoics way of viewing life and I am stunned at how many of these ideas I had developed on my own without realizing there was a name for it or that there were ancient wisdom traditions based on that way of seeing things. So: THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this with the world here on YT. Now I want to read some of these wise words in book form to grok the back-story. Ever grateful.
I have probably read 100+ personal development books over the last 20 years and only just stumbled upon Stoicism this year. It has completely changed my world-view. My stress and anxiety has all but disappeared.
Ryan, you're the man. Bought books on stoicism but could never really read them (boring). Thanks for making stoicism so digestible and relatable to modern life. You are such a gem to so many!
The reason I love Marcus Aurelius so much is because I faced so many of the troubles he provides solutions too. I would get like halfway to his solution on my own, then negative thoughts would push out the wisdom before I’d have that “aha” moment. Hearing that someone from 2,000 years ago was facing essentially the exact same problems made me realize that my problems are not unique or so complex that I as a human don’t possess the skills to make my life better in the face of these problems. Was kind of like holding a mirror up to myself, but my reflection became a friend instead of a bully.
Ryan, thank you for sharing the practical wisdom of the stoics. You do so in a very natural and powerful way. I greatly value how it supports my understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as well as binding with other faiths and paths of refinement. I am grateful to you and have been made better by your life's mission. Thank you!
HI Ryan, I want to say Thank you! I listen this video every morning, it basically lifts me up from a hopeless situation under extreme isolation and psychological torture. You are "Wow !!! "
Just found your channel today. Went out and bought a journal and starting to implement this self reflection and allowing to be removed from things I can't control. I started the day feeling crappy. But feel more comfortable now. Thank you for all the great advice.
I love stoicism so much. For the longest time I'd been independently "winging it" in terms of my mental health, throughout an extremely challenging and traumaric upbringing/young adulthood - and what I eventually ended up doing, what actually began to heal and improve me, was somehow developing views and behaviours thay follow the principles of stoicism. I wasn't aware of stoicism yet, and it wasn't a conscious/intentional thing I did - it's just how I eventually learned to cope with life in the best possible way that made me feel like i was improving myself and my life, and made living so much less distressful and upsetting and hopeless. I was beyond delighted when I discovered stoicism because it helped me identify these things I've been doing and improve upon them, and has also introduced me to tons more information/ideas/"rules" that I hadn't previously considered and can apply to my life. Applying principles of stoicism to my life has made an absolute world of difference. And I fully intend to continue working on these principles in a more conscious and intentional way, because I have experienced the benefits first-hand. Life feels so much more manageable. I don't fear the future, I dont fear anything that could happen. It feels like I can get through anything that may come my way. Good or bad, I just do whatever I can to make the best of any situation and try to behave/respond in a way I'm proud of. I have learned so much from the "bad" situations in my life and I wouldn't ever give that up. It has shaped me into the person I am today.
Great video, Ryan. No. 10 on imagined troubles, and No. 48 The Obstacle is the Way, and making the best out of difficulties really resonate with me. Thank you for all of the wisdom you share :)
Hi Ryan thank you so very much for these videos. You are inspiring me to be 1% better every day. Making healthier choices, sticking to a good fitness routine. And even doing one thing today to scare me by having a cold shower this morning after my high intensity training workout I had always feared cold water and I found myself looking up at the shower head and asking it" is this all you've got?" Next aims are to go to bed 15 minutes earlier at the start of each week and waking up 15 minutes earlier. Improving by 15 minutes every week. So I can get up and start journalling. 😊😊
I attend a local Greek Orthodox Church, and my priest has told me repeatedly " strict with yourself , and lenient with others " Our job is to work on us . " Acquire a spirit of peace and thousands around you will be saved" -St Seraphim of Sarov
Hey my friend, so many of these things resonate with me, things I've always tried to practice. I had no idea there was a philosophy practicing this called stoicism. I'm so excited to learn more about it. Thanks
In a culture that sees asking for help as a sign of weakness, no single act carries the weight of true strength more than rejecting the entire culture by asking for that help.

Situation brought me to something on the edge of stoicism and Nietzschean overcoming of yourself. And while googling on stoicism I came across with your channel.
Just want to say - thank you. You are doing a great job sharing thoughts and spreading an ideas to people that need them!
Andrii. I follow the Ukraine War pretty much daily and wanna tell you how sorry I am that your country suffers this injustice. I think of you guys every day, praying for you to meet your sovereign objectives and for this nightmare to be over. Better days ahead, my friend! A lot of people in the world care about Ukraine❤️
🎯
May the force be with you my friend! You are surely also a hero!
Long live you and yours!
Long live ✨ 🇺🇦 Ukraine 🇺🇦 ✨!

So much wisdom in just 30 minutes. Thank you!
Iam very Greatful to your video 🙏 . It really motivates me
THANK U SO MUCH FOR THIS I HOPE U LIVE A GOOD LIFE
Utterly, unbelievably and precisely great wisdom !!!!
Love your passion for Stoicism Ryan. I enjoy your videos. Great "grounders" for anyone caught up in normal Earth stuff. Now to apply it!
The stoic rules are in themselves a revelation, but your commentary on them just amplifies them!!
OMG - I’m enjoying this so much… I’m in my mid seventies now. I studied Eastern wisdom traditions most of my life: Buddhism, Zen, and Taoism, but I knew nothing at all about the Stoics. Over my 70+ years I had developed some personal ideas and outlooks that helped me along the way. Then… over the past few months because of these vids on RUclips I have been introduced to the Stoics way of viewing life and I am stunned at how many of these ideas I had developed on my own without realizing there was a name for it or that there were ancient wisdom traditions based on that way of seeing things. So: THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this with the world here on YT. Now I want to read some of these wise words in book form to grok the back-story. Ever grateful.
This man is changing the world
Life changing advice! Well spoken my friend!
You are a great teacher and this is very selflessly done. Easy to understand and powerful. Thank you.
Wise far beyond your years. Love your book, “the obstacle is the way”. Simple concepts I can act upon today.
🌹✌😀🫂💖😁
🤔 -- there's a book!
I have probably read 100+ personal development books over the last 20 years and only just stumbled upon Stoicism this year. It has completely changed my world-view. My stress and anxiety has all but disappeared.
This video is priceless Ryan. Everyone should watch this regularly and apply as much as they can to their life. Thank you for uploading.
Thank you so much Ryan! You helped me a lot!
I am grateful to have found this channel and the things you teach. It brings a sense of calm to me.
Very very very awesome video to improve one's life man
Really Worth Listening...
Thanks For The Good Work...
Keep The Good Work Continuing...
Ryan, you're the man. Bought books on stoicism but could never really read them (boring). Thanks for making stoicism so digestible and relatable to modern life. You are such a gem to so many!
excellent video. thank you for posting this
The reason I love Marcus Aurelius so much is because I faced so many of the troubles he provides solutions too. I would get like halfway to his solution on my own, then negative thoughts would push out the wisdom before I’d have that “aha” moment. Hearing that someone from 2,000 years ago was facing essentially the exact same problems made me realize that my problems are not unique or so complex that I as a human don’t possess the skills to make my life better in the face of these problems.
Was kind of like holding a mirror up to myself, but my reflection became a friend instead of a bully.
This channel is youtube at it's best- the information helps the viewers become better and wiser people.
Ryan, thank you for sharing the practical wisdom of the stoics. You do so in a very natural and powerful way. I greatly value how it supports my understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as well as binding with other faiths and paths of refinement. I am grateful to you and have been made better by your life's mission. Thank you!
I agree all rules except the one that says don't forget yourself, I would say in return be tolerant to yourself and life will be much easier!
HI Ryan, I want to say Thank you! I listen this video every morning, it basically lifts me up from a hopeless situation under extreme isolation and psychological torture. You are "Wow !!! "
Medicine via your ears . Thank you always Ryan for awsome content.
Thank you for these nuggets of wisdom. This needs to be shared everywhere.
Daily Stoic: has a mother proud: without false pride.❤😊
Just found your channel today. Went out and bought a journal and starting to implement this self reflection and allowing to be removed from things I can't control. I started the day feeling crappy. But feel more comfortable now. Thank you for all the great advice.
Dont know how many times l have listen to this. Thank you!
I am turning my eldest son onto the stoic philosophy and we use this guy 95% if the time.
I love stoicism so much. For the longest time I'd been independently "winging it" in terms of my mental health, throughout an extremely challenging and traumaric upbringing/young adulthood - and what I eventually ended up doing, what actually began to heal and improve me, was somehow developing views and behaviours thay follow the principles of stoicism. I wasn't aware of stoicism yet, and it wasn't a conscious/intentional thing I did - it's just how I eventually learned to cope with life in the best possible way that made me feel like i was improving myself and my life, and made living so much less distressful and upsetting and hopeless.
I was beyond delighted when I discovered stoicism because it helped me identify these things I've been doing and improve upon them, and has also introduced me to tons more information/ideas/"rules" that I hadn't previously considered and can apply to my life.
Applying principles of stoicism to my life has made an absolute world of difference. And I fully intend to continue working on these principles in a more conscious and intentional way, because I have experienced the benefits first-hand. Life feels so much more manageable. I don't fear the future, I dont fear anything that could happen. It feels like I can get through anything that may come my way. Good or bad, I just do whatever I can to make the best of any situation and try to behave/respond in a way I'm proud of. I have learned so much from the "bad" situations in my life and I wouldn't ever give that up. It has shaped me into the person I am today.
Great video, Ryan. No. 10 on imagined troubles, and No. 48 The Obstacle is the Way, and making the best out of difficulties really resonate with me. Thank you for all of the wisdom you share :)
Also, I found No 42 interesting 'If someone offends you, realize you are complicit in taking offense', very relvant to the current culture.
Hi Ryan thank you so very much for these videos. You are inspiring me to be 1% better every day. Making healthier choices, sticking to a good fitness routine. And even doing one thing today to scare me by having a cold shower this morning after my high intensity training workout I had always feared cold water and I found myself looking up at the shower head and asking it" is this all you've got?" Next aims are to go to bed 15 minutes earlier at the start of each week and waking up 15 minutes earlier. Improving by 15 minutes every week. So I can get up and start journalling. 😊😊
I attend a local Greek Orthodox Church, and my priest has told me repeatedly " strict with yourself , and lenient with others "
Our job is to work on us .
" Acquire a spirit of peace and thousands around you will be saved"
-St Seraphim of Sarov
that’s good advice
The clarity of this. Please teach these principles.
God bless you Ryan!! Please continue to help us becoming better!!
Easily one of the best video on internet.
Hey my friend, so many of these things resonate with me, things I've always tried to practice. I had no idea there was a philosophy practicing this called stoicism. I'm so excited to learn more about it. Thanks
This guy is really something else. Thank you for trying to make our life better.❤️🔥
I hope this video gets a million views because it deserves it. So much wisdom in one RUclips video.
Love your channel Subscribed, Thanks for the help, its NEEDED.
I'm 77 now and asking myself, "Where has stoicism been all my life?" Thank you for this and this community.
Mind blown. A life changed. Thank you so much.
Ryan is always on point...
The Rules are clear and ready to be implemented if determined.
Definitely will make you better and give you the edge.
I'm happy I follow instinctively many of these rules. Namely focusing on people's qualities and ignoring their flaws.
Hi Ryan. You have inspired me to study stoicism. It has changed my life! I am forever grateful for your work. Thank you very much! Carpe diem.
you are realy like my wise father who continually teaches me art of how to live I appreciate your work
In a culture that sees asking for help as a sign of weakness, no single act carries the weight of true strength more than rejecting the entire culture by asking for that help.
Good Stuff. Thanks 🙏
Thank you like always, Ryan.
Thanks to Stocisism and you, my life has become better(even though life has always been great).
Every kid deserves a father that talks to them about all this things and lives acordinglly to this beliefs

I learned all these lessons the hard way. Live long enough and life teaches you. For me, it took a year a lesson.
Thank you for this. I lost my way for a bit not following one of the most important rules, and Im working my way back...so this was a nice reminder :)
I enjoy reading Ryan's books but I love listening to this video while I labor away doing house chores ..thanks for posting!
