    Ryan, you were recommended to me by my lawyer when I thought my life felt like a shipwreck situation. I felt like Zeno, coming across stoicism via a shipwreck “bad thing”’ but it was actually a learning point. I hope one day I can have a conversation with you! I’m 75% done with all of your books. Courage is calling is amazing.

      We all find stoicism via a personal shipwreck - and if we are honest about it, some of it is of our own doing. I bumped into Ryan and the Daily Stoic by accident, and I now feel on reflection that fate brought me to it.
      My life, career, prospects and decision making have become 120% better than they ever were, and my resilience is far higher than it has ever been. Much of this is thanks to Ryans monumental achievement of introducing us all to the stoics world.

    I love how the Stoic philosophy really embodies kindness and mending your own garden; focussing on and bettering yourself so that what you give to the world and the Universe, is your unique, individual contribution, your own kind of beautiful and your own kind of greatness 🤍! It reminds me a lot of Eastern philosophy.

  • @OldGuitarMan
    @OldGuitarMan 2 года назад +1

    12 hour shift work, 5PM to 5AM and 5AM to 5PM that changes multiple times a week, always on call, never a day off that’s safe, a work schedule that changes constantly - no sleep patterns, no ability to maintain any type of schedule, always in a fog. I’ve been doing this for 25 years. I remain trapped in this job by circumstance. There are no solutions, only the eventual release into darkness. But it takes so long to get there. Life is far too long. We go on and on, way past the point when any of it mattered, when there was any degree of happiness or fulfillment. I used to hope self-improvement ideas like this found on this channel could push things into some type of light, but I realize now that when every day you don’t know if you’re sleeping all day or sleeping all night, when all your feel is a head full of bricks, but you can’t leave because you’re the great provider and aren’t qualified for anything different - I realize there’s no life philosophy that can alter this. I just need it to end. Things end every minute of every day. The time has to be close.

    It doesn't matter that this video is now a year old...it continues to contain and add value, thank you for such a concise list of ideas and principals to live by. One of my favorites is "22. Two ears one mouth for a reason." - it goes hand in hand with a belief I have that the quietest person in the room is often the smartest.

    Somehow a trip through my news feed led me to the daily stoic, and timing could not have been any better. On a broad spectrum i naturally think stoically i guess. Having asses to these wisdoms will definitely help me fine tune my perceptions. I cant believe this information is out here floating around for free because in my opinion it is all priceless. I will be indulging and consuming as much of Ryan Holiday as my brain will allow. Im so grateful to be apart of this.

    Stoicism is such a beautiful way of life, and one I am trying to live to my highest potential. Yet it's not without it's struggles. Various points in the rules you set out made me cry because I've gone through such a turbulent time dealing with a lot of things.
    Yet I'm not going to give up. I am here to stay. To improve my life.
    P. S - Referring to your point on complaints - a complaint is well founded I believe when it addresses/highlights/deals with a significant issue. Otherwise, complaining without taking appropriate action is detrimental to our Mental Health.

    Man, I feel like I'm ready to try living up to stoic ideals. I found myself pulling away from stoicism, toward the other (easier?) philosophies of absurdism, existentialism, and the most powerful/unfortunate, nihilism. I recently started getting up early by choice for the first time in my life and one of my first early mornings I was, for lack of a better term, wracked with existential grief. I had the thought that, if I continue down this line of thinking, becoming the perfect nihilist is paramount to becoming exactly like Nietzsche, that I become so unstable and broken that simply witnessing an evil act in person might push me over the edge like Nietzsche when he saw a horse being beaten. I cried for most of that day thinking about how such deep thought, in my case, coming from my 28-year-old brain, might essentially drive me to insanity even if I'm 'brave enough' to avoid suicide. This thinking feels so important but at the same time I see the end result of me, one way or another, being remembered by most as just some crazy person who wound up dead or institutionalized.
    Since then I've found a way better way to draw inspiration from Nietzsche. Nietzsche's idea of the Übermensch as the perfect overman every person to strive to be, is hard to exemplify within the mindset that nihilism typically appeals to. I found myself circling back to stoicism and made a connection that the Übermensch Nietzsche describes is not at all dissimilar to the perfect stoic. This connection is allowing me to take stoic ideals a lot more seriously. It's like the perfect stoic is what the perfect nihilist failed to become.

    @romlyn99 Год назад

    Forgiveness - I like to explain grudges and hate as a burden we need to carry. To hold a grudge or hate towards another person means two things; 1. That person lives in your thoughts, so you are spending time and energy to make space for that person to live rent free in your thoughts/mind; 2. It take effort to hold a grudge, as grudges are heavy emotional things to maintain. By forgiving someone, you are not saying that person was correct in their actions and you were wrong in hating them or wrong to hold a grudge. By forgiving a person you are evicting that person from your thoughts and mind - and you make space for better things to live in your thoughts. Lastly, you lighten your load. By forgiving you take a load off your shoulders. So evict them and refuse to carry the burden of a grudge and hate. Forgiveness is truly a gift to yourself.

    My relationship ended a little over a month ago and it’s been a disaster. I was living with this girl, I was making her my family, and I was planning on spending the rest of my life with her. Then she showed me her true colors though and stabbed me in the back repeatedly. Now I have my own place and I’m working on getting my life back on track. Stoicism is helping me immensely in the process. Thanks for your help, Ryan.

    @romlyn99 Год назад

    When people hear the word habit - I think most people think of something negative. But habit is just something you do, often enough that it creates a pattern of behavior. And we often do things each day, that are negative. But we can do something each day that is positive. So have habits... just make the habits we have create positive effects. Create good habits to replace the bad habits.

    Hey Ryan and stoic community, a quick thought and question about one of in these rules. "Don't even overhear yourself complaining".
    I'm guilty of it. Every time I overhear myself I wonder, where does constructive feedback begin and where does complaining start? If I stop any kind of critique to occure, am I not missing a chance to improve what I am complaining about? Thanks.

I read that that reminder is for those who are experiencing great success and that´s a way to remind them that they will die and not believe that what they have is eternal and be humble. I, on the other hand, am just as ESL school teacher who owns nothing, just living from paycheck to paycheck.

    I agree with almost everything on the list but I have a little problem with "21. Never be overheard complaining, even to yourself", isn't complaining sometimes useful to get something of your mind, share a problem, get input, make a change?

    The power is in your first word's that you don't in hope need time, you need love. So make love your most promising value. Mean what you say and accept the morning. Power comes from example. Modesty come's by exchange, perfection challenges me to look deeper into the path and product evokes mistakes. Timid is the way, weakness is your's, walk the forbidden path and love you.

    Nice video 👍
    As I like from JBP, "Clean your room!"
    Is it tedious? Yes, but who else is going to do it? Will you benefit from it? Tremendously. Are you the type of person with a clean room?
