We realize this well-being and fight this virus by the choices we make right now. Some of those choices include: Practice social distancing: as much as possible, stay away from people outside of your family. Avoid social events and public gatherings, work from home if possible. If you have employees, do what you can so they can do the same. And implement common-sense measures so that your employees and customers are safe: reduce face-to-face interactions as much as possible, grant generous sick leave, and limit the number of customers at a single time. Cancel or postpone events if you have them. Make them remote-access, if possible. Do not prioritize your convenience or entertainment over the potential spread of the virus. Practice safety measures: wash your hands as much as possible, especially before you eat. Don’t touch your face, and cough into a tissue or your elbow. Don’t shake hands with people, press buttons with knuckles or elbows, and avoid food that is uncooked. Help others who are in more precarious situations. If you know your neighbor is elderly and planning to make a grocery run, see if you can help them get what they need without leaving their house. Think of the wonderful generosity of this Chinese company sending face masks to Italy (with a quote from Seneca on them no less!) Hold off on visiting elderly friends or family members. Yes, you’re worried about them. Yes, you miss them. But you put them and their community at risk by stopping at their old folks home or visiting their house. Even if you feel healthy, even if the person you’re visiting seems to be in good health, the safest option is to wait to see them. Don’t hoard: hoarding essential goods hurts other members of the community who lack resources to prepare. Slowly stock up with non-perishable foods and goods so that others can do the same. Long lines at stores only make things worse. Along those lines, don’t tie up medical resources that you don’t need. Save masks for doctors, nurses, first responders, and others who need them in the course of their jobs. And don’t forget that for now our testing supply is sorely limited; do your best not to tie up the critical resource of COVID-19 tests, and avoid being a hypochondriac. Self-quarantine and self-isolate: if you believe you may have been exposed to COVID-19, stay in your home for two weeks to keep others safe. Use your time wisely: don’t let the possible weeks or months of isolation be for nothing. You can’t control how long you’ll need to engage in social distancing, but you can control if you spend that time productively. The version of you who steps out of quarantine at some future date can be better than the version that entered it, if you try. Batch your online orders if you’re stocking up to reduce the need for inefficient shipments and stress on already stressed supply chains. Educate: don’t spread misinformation about the virus. Instead, make sure others know how to best handle the spread of the virus. If you’re someone with a platform, your number one obligation right now is to not spread bullshit or breaking information. You’re not helping, you’re hurting. If you get sick, isolate yourself at home as long as symptoms remain moderate. If you have trouble breathing, are an older adult (70+), have pre-existing lung conditions or are immunocompromised, be ready to call your doctor or visit an ER. Remember that panic doesn’t help. Rushing to sell your stocks; ignoring the needs of others; freaking out; being cross with or cruel to others. You know what this does? It takes a bad situation and makes it worse. Cherish the people you love and the present moment, as scary as it is. It is all we have for certain.
Truely inspiring and uplifting text. The Obsatcle Is The Way is even more relevant now. I will get out my old copy, reread like it's my first time and practice the principle🙏
Tough times still present opportunities; thank you for those historic reminders of men who faced adversity and took stock of their circumstances and still served others. We focus on what we can do, not what we cannot. Share this message with those in your life who need to hear hope and comfort the broken-hearted. Thank you so much for this Ryan.
Man did I need this. Had it all just 5 yrs ago. Great 7 figure career , marriage, home…lost it all due to a surgical mishap in mid 50s. Took me a few years to recover and by that time, I felt like I was too old to make a comeback At some point, I said F it and went for the comeback Better shape than when I was 18 and money is flowing again The comeback is actually fun
Love this. I just lost it all too - wife, home, money, successful career, car, and even had to move to a place I don’t know anyone (a bit like exile). All within less than a year and in the most cruel and malevolent way possible. Sadly for a year I was face down in the dirt. But just this year I have chosen to get the mud out of my eyes and climb the hell out of this pit. You getting into the best shape of your life inspires me.
I love the phrase that the world easily found another dye merchant, but that there has never been another Zeno. That, for me, is the power of individuality vs. my niche or profession in life.
Tragically I did ~21 years in the Navy and didn't truly know, outside of Admiralty and the MoH, James Stockdale's torture in Vietnam and his philosophical views that allowed him to endure as a leader, even in the midst of such brutal conditions. Perhaps his story, from my mind, was overshadowed by the equally horrible treatment of John McCain. Either way, thank you Mr. Stockdale for your service and sacrifices far, far beyond anything I'd ever endured (post-humously of course).
This is definitely relatable to me as I had a very tragic event happen to myself in August 2019 that landed me in the mental hospital for 12 days. I'm doing my humble best to turn that tragic event into my most triumphant being that it was an Ego Death.
This pandemic and this self quarantine is a good way to improve myself physically, spiritually, and mentally. This will be the only time that this will happen, so we must embrace it and make the most of it. Go.
This is absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for all that you do. "To Forgive a man who has wronged one, to remain a friend to one who has transgressed friendship, to continue faithful to one who has broken faith.” Even repeating these words brings so much peace. Marcus Aurelius has to be the most noble person who ever lived. Inspirational and life changing!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH RYAN. your book "The Obstacle is the way is really great. Specially in this modern era full of envy and criticism, the stoic philosophy is key..Thank you. I was inspired by your book to create A CHANNEL to help people who are currently stuck in life and hopefully one of my videos will inspire them..
Been listening to 'Obstacle is the way' 'Ego is my enemy' ' Stillness is key' & ' Trust me in lying' you are a great story teller and genuinely are about human being and their ways... thank you for these literature.
Thank you Ryan for this post in such really hard times...Bravo...Like Zeno after the shipwreck, a lot of us may lose a lot in this pandemic including our lives.....We have entered the world of Epictetus .....
Ryan thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed to hear. I'm new to the practice of Stoicism and this has been the first real test, and I'm struggling. Videos like this help more than you could imagine. Please keep them coming!
Stoicism found me when my sister died a month ago. It’s crazy how much both have helped me. I’ve also discovered sound meditation which led me to discover this trauma massage (can’t think of the name). It feels like my sister gave me one more gift. Unfortunately it came after I’m able to thank her.
I've been sharing some of your videos to my highschool philosophy students during the pandemic. We always have great conversations afterwards. Thanks for helping to reframe challenges into opportunities!
i've been so vigilant to defend and stop loss of myself, "My team" is a concept I never once thought of being an applicable mindset with the past i knew to be true. I still don't know, just that i'm "instrumental" in a way that makes everyone else seem insincere with rehearsed words to say at me.
Thanks man! Just bought the Obstacle. Appreciate the cut price nature of it and want to thank you for your inspiring and insightful videos bro, they help a lot. Good Maiden tees too man!
Thank you for the beautiful words of wisdom. Stoicism is really helping me become a better human being and stay on the path. It's been super difficult considering how lost and messed up I was but it helps me to never quit and keep trying. You're the one who introduced this beautiful philosophy to me and I'm deeply grateful to you for that Ryan. Warmth ♥️
two weeks ago i suffered a concussion, last week it happened agian, today i have a whiplash, the most fear i have right now is losing my ability to think like i used to and to learn spirituality and philosophy like i used to, i fear having brain damage, and losing my ability to see the world like i used to. I have no control over these events, i must embrace my fate no matter what.
In the Four Agreements we don't pave the burning sand with leather, we affix shoes to our feet. 💖🕯👌🏼💫🔥🌱♻️ Thanks for the gifts 🎁 while we are in "exile".
My dad sent me the link to the video today because I told him we were all f)$&3: from the corona virus. Instead of being worried about the virus, ill see how i can be of assistance to others. Thanks.
Ryan, I enjoyed your video talking about Zeno and exile but the analysis about Marcus Aurelius because the wife of Marcus Aurelius actually approached Avidius Cassius because she was afraid what would befall her family. The issue was that when Marcus Aurelius recovered Avidius had already named himself emperor. It was a sad misunderstanding that cost the Roman Empire greatly.
Love your 'stoic works', Ryan - I have found them to be quite beneficial/directional/inspirational; however, as I'm a Hawkeye grad, I must also congratulate you on your most excellent wardrobe choice of the Hawkeye shirt for this video! Do you have a connection to the University of Iowa?
ok, seriously, How do so many of your videos have such vibrant colors. This one specifically in front of the brick wall looks so amazing. Specifics LUTs Color Grading? I want this for my videos!
This book saved my life just at the brink of ruin in my third year of college. I'd be living a mediocre, unmotivated life today without having done anything to stand out if not for you. :') PS. Can you make a video on fictional characters from movies and TV shows that embody stoicism? Mando from Mandalorian seems like a good candidate among many, for sure
All depends on circumstances. If Cassius proclaimed himself Emperor out of ignorance of MA's survival, then Marcus was right to show forbearance. If, however, Cassius did so after a period of deliberately scheming to overthrow the Emperor, and this can be proven, then MA would have incurred more problems had he NOT taken revenge. MA's stoicism here is founded on the stoic's practice of justice AND wisdom.
Let's see? Remember that you cant control anyone else's behavior. And remember not to let anyone else corrupt your soul. Dont take revenge. Stay spotless.
Joel Cohen I’ve been asking myself this question for a long time now, and I think the best way to look at it is that your partners cheating is not your problem. People’s manipulative and deceptive tactics are not your problem, their choices are not your problem, and their lying is not your problem. I know it hurts man, I went through it and it still hurts. But it is that very pain that has taught me a very valuable lesson and will always be there to remind me in my future relationships: to not trust others so easily, to not project my idealization of a perfect partner onto that person, to watch out and not ignore the red flags. And most importantly to not get attached A stoic response to a cheating partner is to realize that it was the attachment to an ideology of who you thought that person was that made you suffer. That person does not exist, it was in your head. What we can take from it is to never get attached, to know that people are capable of infidelity, and this way if it were to happen again in a future relationship you would simply walk away without even caring. We can only control ourselves, our reaction to situations, and our direction in life. We can control our boundaries, and we have to keep them firm, because this world is full of people trying to test us. Stay strong brother
@@brigs9605 Thank you greatly for your thoughtful response. It really put things in perspective and there is much to ponder about from the wisdom that's resonating from every word you wrote. Much respect, God bless.
@@labornurse thank you kindly for your response. I loved how you powerfully distilled core ideas in a coherent way. This also makes me feel like the internet can be an amazing place of a new type of brotherhood. Stay safe, God bless.
The #CVchallenge is like a personality test. We are failing or choosing to "do good" 🕯🤔 Thanks Ryan. You sound like you have a cold, 💖God Bless you and everyone. 💫🔥🌱♻️
Do we want to be humans with a certain principals and do we want to live upon them even at the most challenging situations The type of an answer can define,who we are We should be grearifull if a difficult circumstance can make us change our awareness The only way to learn is by challenge Best
@DailyStoic I am searching and searching for a stoic way to deal with PTSD and anxiety from a rear ended auto accident. I have whiplash, which I’m dealing with, but I have a mental block when I try to drive above 55 MPH and I get very tense and almost dizzy.
You seem to be the only one on the subject of stoicism who finds the need to use the vulgar vernacular as the correct manner in which to express yourself while explaining such a beautiful subject.
My friend is 64 years old he had twin daughters both just died recently 1 year apart one from COVID. can you please please suggest a book that will help him to find a different way of dealing with this tragedy a way to process and rise above this unimaginable pain. Any advice please regards jody London

Perfect quote for the pandemic era.
Not going to lie, your book and this mindset have saved my ass multiple times. Thank You.

don't be too certain this will be the ONLY time--------Although anyone can "self quarantine" at any time-------everyone has THAT freedom

What's the difference between the variations of the book, Obstacle is the Way? What I mean is, are those blue and white ones the same, or different?
Do we want to be humans with a certain principals and do we want to live upon them even at the most challenging situations
The type of an answer can define,who we are
We should be grearifull if a difficult circumstance can make us change our awareness
The only way to learn is by challenge

It is fully appreciated I like it

@DailyStoic I am searching and searching for a stoic way to deal with PTSD and anxiety from a rear ended auto accident. I have whiplash, which I’m dealing with, but I have a mental block when I try to drive above 55 MPH and I get very tense and almost dizzy.
You seem to be the only one on the subject of stoicism who finds the need to use the vulgar vernacular as the correct manner in which to express yourself while explaining such a beautiful subject.
We look back and wouldn't trade our worst moments because they shaped us.
