This video just saved me from sinking into a deep deep depression. Today my dog died. And I feel so sad. But by reframing this loss, living for today and not stuck in the past, and by accepting the loss as natural, I feel at peace, and grateful for the time I had with Poppy. I will build resilience, and know that I have more love to give to another dog. Thank you!
Just sounds like more meaningless waffle to me. Quality of life depends on a lot more, and one of the biggest factors is having good genetics, or being born into a good family, both accidents of birth
@@mstirlz i'm sorry but that's just loser mentality. Life doesn't expect you to be rich, be a CEO or have to be the most aesthetically appealing. It expects you to make the best out of what's given to you
I learned stoicism on my own by accident as a young man, not even knowing what it was. It just made sense. It became a lifelong philosophy. I read Thoreau and other writers like Watts who were stoic teachers but never mentioned the word stoic. It is similar to the practice of Zen. But it's not for everyone, only those who are introspective.
Accepting life's natural cycles. I've had losses that lead to having to reinvent myself to meet the changes. Two losses were close to my heart and extremely difficult to accept. It took time to process but once I started moving I found I was able to thrive in my changed life. For those who believe they can't make it through difficult times, you can and you will. Don't be afraid to ask for help or guidance from trusted people. No one said you had to go it alone.
I enjoyed my life(traveled & volunteered) until I had a brain tumor. Now, I treasure my life even more. Enjoy the present. You dont know what tomorrow will bring!
Learning the steps of mastering emotional intelligence is key.. It's not about not caring about things because were human we care.. But it's how much energy we give to that thing and not letting it taking control of your life.. Like peoples opinions or if people say something nasty it might hurt your ego but it's how you react to it
I have returned to an active life, inspired by the Stoic Philosophy and it’s common sense. I have seen it work in my view of past perceptions directed by my perspectives . I welcome the challenge for life now, thanks for all your time and dedication of Service. From Tn USA
Sir, your ability to translate ancient wisdom into the modern vernacular use extremely useful. To reach this younger generation with these invaluable concepts, a noble task indeed. You'll end up reaching more people than any philosophy teacher , including your former one. Just the thought of having a positive influence on so many people should brighten your day, inform your continued efforts as you keep living the tenant, be of service. And all those old Romans and Greeks.... there smiling down on you right now going BRAVO !!!

I really like all of them, but 5. “Recognize life’s natural cycles” resonates the most. “Loss is nothing else but change and change is nature’s delight” - what a thought! Thank you!
The PAUSE in life is the most influential note of this whole video. I’ve been granted a pause in life.I’m now in the process of the great awakening like the Lotus flower .. I am on my second Bloom
“It’s not the man that has too little but the man that craves more that is poor” “Reflection is the mirror to the soul” I love this because after being in therapy for a year, I’ve kept a journal to record my happenings, write my experiences and process my thoughts and feelings. It really gives me a mental refresh.
I have a friend who cares too much about money and keeps wanting more money, I also notice him viewing it as that others should give him validation, I don't give him any validation
There lies the challenge! U got this, its called change your stinking thinking, right lol. PERSONAL PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING, honestly most people are so self absorbed they arent even paying attention to others
Not giving other people power over you.... There is a calmness to these insights... it makes sense.... the now makes complete sense... I send these on to my son... who is FDNY/EMS for over 20 years in NYC... They ring many bells... thank you...
For myself they all do but after a break up I’ve turned inward. I’m grateful though it hurts. Loss is helping me grow with my true values and live in alignment with my true self. It’s a tremendous opportunity for me. And I’m climbing the stoic mountain. I’m getting stronger.
"If I had a prayer, it would be this: 'God spare me from the desire for love, approval, and appreciation. Amen.'" ~Byron Katie. Her quote immediately made my anxiety plummet, and I felt the weight lift off my shoulders.
The next is me :) Embracing life is a magnificent dance of surrender and acceptance. It's the art of gracefully releasing the burdens that weigh us down, like shedding the heavy cloak of worry and judgment. It's about letting go of the unnecessary, unfurling our hearts, and allowing the beauty of each moment to envelop us in its tender embrace. To truly master this art, we must learn the exquisite balance between holding on to what truly matters and liberating ourselves from the trivial concerns that can consume our thoughts. It's a journey of discovering the profound wisdom in not caring about the opinions and expectations of others, and instead, focusing on our own authentic path. As we navigate the intricate steps of life's dance, we find that letting go becomes a form of liberation. It's the freedom to savor every sunrise, every laugh, and every tear without being entangled in the chains of attachment. It's an invitation to surrender to the symphony of existence, where the melody of acceptance and the rhythm of release create a harmonious masterpiece. In the end, embracing life means allowing our souls to breathe, to revel in the magnificence of the present moment, and to gracefully release the rest. It's the art of not caring about the inconsequential and choosing instead to immerse ourselves in the beauty of being alive." Embracing life in this way is a poetic and profound journey towards a more meaningful and fulfilling existence.
Great to hear your thoughts on embracing life! It's truly a beautiful dance of surrender and acceptance. I hope this message inspires you to find more meaning and fulfillment in your own journey. Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Since embracing Stoicism, my stress level has dramatically gone down. Your voice may as well be Marcus Aurelius’s. Timbre and diction and of course the ideas you expound on make one stay all the way. Cheers 🎉
Think of challeges as your personal gym! I love that! It is a way of staying on the offense. Many years ago I realized that it is not what happens to you in life that makes your life but how you respond to those things that really makes your life. If you are crushed every time you live a crushed life. If you see reality as it is and use it to your benefit that is the best life lived.
All of them hit hard but the two that are resonating the most with me at this time in my life are "Control what's within..." and "Be of service to others".
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the video! I completely agree with you that "Control what's within" and "Be of service to others" are both powerful messages that can have a significant impact on our lives
I’ve realized that if I stop caring, then my soul is dead inside, it’s learning not too be naive to people who don’t care about you caring about them. 🎉🎉🎉 Faith
It’s realizing the big picture, and feeling sorrow for 7.5 billion. That puts things in perspective and humbles oneself. Staying true to the love you lost, keeping the memories, forsaking everything and everyone else. God is real.
Thank you. I really need to hear this stuff right now. My biggest thing to conquer is letting go. My mind constantly reminds me of so many of the things I’ve screwed up and triggers an emotional reaction that feels like an electrical zap to my state of mind and emotional well being. That was one of the ones you talked about and… I’m gonna listen to this again.
Am pleased that someone feels the way I am and think the way I do. Everytime I am alone especially when I'm driving all the mistakes I did in the past are creeping on me. How those mistakes put me in these position in life. And how those wrong decisions caused my family to suffer as well. Those pasts keep coming back to me whenever I am alone.😢

You can't enjoy the sweet taste of victory before the bitter taste of failure. In other words you can't enjoy VICTORY. WITHOUT FAILURE. lessons learned . and u can use this in any aspect of life from ur own personal life to work to business . I THANK U FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR THESES TOOLS OF LIFE . THANK U MY FRIEND.
First "vibe" is the first step to wisdom: getting things known by their right name. That is, the dichotomy of control. What can I control and what I can't. Oh, how often I get wrapped up in reacting emotionally to the opinions, choices, of others. Damn, this is hard. Control what is within. Release what is without. Traffic patterns. The choices of others. Damn you, Seneca, for being right over and over! How easily I'd give up precious moments of my life over the actions of others and how I interpret it.
Every day I drive to work and listen to your golden words. Love everything about it... the production and the contents. Thank you for enlightening us. 🎉
"it's not the cold pizza that disturbs us, it's our interpretation of it" this one stuck to me because in a way, it highlights that it's your quality of thoughts that have control over how you feel, but it doesn't mean it's actually true ( im not sure if that makes sense ) and i realized how the 10 principles link together and, especially how you shouldn't worry about having control over the external, but instead, the internal. it basically means that it's all up to ourselves to be happy, life will always throw curveballs, it's up to you, how you react to them. i found the video helpful and im a new subscriber :)
Wow! This is the best advise I have ever gotten in my life. Thank you so much. I have just found my most favourite channel. Just subscribed! I just loved when you said adversities are similar to how we workout in the gym for our physical body. They help strengthen our mind like how workouts strengthen our body. It’s such a simple yet powerful statement that’s about to change my life. ❤❤❤❤
For a guy who does suffer from anxiety and reacts to external factors in a emotional manner which is detrimental to my mental health, the stoic principles are something that I’m learning to use as a growth tool and to my benefit.. it’s good to relate this to modern life.. I’m also trying to source an easier to read/digest book of the meditations if anyone can recommend
All the teachings are helpful, I used to live my life this way, and I had no idea that it was a whole way of life for anyone other then myself. If this is who you truly are, do NOT let the world change you.
The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts: 1. Control what’s within, release whats with out 2. Embrace the present moment 3. Accept change as nature’s course 4. Detach from external validation 5. Recognize life’s natural cycles 6. Seek growth in adversity 7. Cultivate inner riches 8. Understand and accept fate 9. Be of services to others 10.

So many good points! Reflection is like a update to your inner self. That’s something most of us just don’t do. Learn from mistakes and celebrate “small victories” excellent reminders!
"Your worth is not up for public voting!!" 🥰 ❤🎉 10:10 these ten principles aren't about being emotionless or aloof, they are about fostering resilience, embracing the present, and leading a life of purpose and depth. Well stated! Thank you. New subscriber to your channel. ✨
Imagination is what brings negativity to my thought. It’s my own perception of situations or things that happened to me. I consider negative. Thank you keep up the good work.
the bit about how the quality of your thoughts caught my attention. Lying in bed fretting about things is futile. I’ve begun noticing this and simply choose to focus on something more neutral or positive. I’m new at this and way past middle age and my mind frequently pings back to ruminating but I have felt how true it is - that my thoughts create my experience - and by being more aware of my mind being hijacked by my imagination I can see how this awareness brings in some inner peace and calm.
Thank you, we are undergoing an immense transformative change with our channel, moving towards enlightenment and bringing our audience closer to the truth. This video has aided in our journey to reach the there 💚🙏
Thank you for sharing this wisdom. For my own part, it was three words that resonated; "Bring it on". All good of course, still to sum up the essentials, has a great value.
People who watch judenTV are so appreciative of jeffery epstein giving them a new video. An shall be slayed as epstein was for elslaving the non npc. Aka God. Happy covid 2024. As I said shall happen. This time no protection
I highly appreciated the knowledge. How ionic that I've adapted these principles into my life for many years. I must remember to keep them all in my daily practice. Thanks so much!❤
Knowing when to be detached, and be strong, in the right situation is a blessing and not a curse. A perfect example of stoicism, at least as I see it! 🙏♐
Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's definitely a valuable skill to know when to detach and stay strong in the right circumstances. Stoicism can be a powerful philosophy to adopt in navigating life's challenges.
I just made an inexpensive lentil soup and added some Italian sausage to it. I feel like it’s a way of making the most of what you have, along with appreciating the moment when I tasted it
Excellent! Your best presentation yet. Your phrasing is perfect and the fun in your wording is just right. Please continue this approach, it's utterly charming. By the way, Epictetus rocks!
Uncut, unshaven, bearded heathen. I love being underestimated based on my appearance and then just blow them away with high energy love and enthusiasm for life. ❤😂 I love it. You create your existence...
Be of service - I believe we are all here to be of service to each other. Imagine how magnificent this world would be if we support, encourage and empower each other!
I think my dad is unintentionally stoic. He doesnt care what others think or how they live, he have his own morals tho not perfect and he has his own flaws regarding specific things... he's calm, he likes peace and loves to be alone. I've always been told i am like him, but i kinda have anger issues and can he severely judgmental. I dont interfere in others lives but i do have my own opinion on specific behaviors esp when it boils to misogyny and unfairness. I tend to act normal and dont give enough fck to care if someone talks badly about me, id still smile and talk to them if they did approach me. I struggle with over thinking and inner hating of others and their behavior esp with things that triggers me and as stated before, isnt fair. (I know no one cares but ig this is self reflection)
I completely relate to your words; thanks for sharing! Over the last three years, I've struggled with complex PTSD, and had I not embraced stoicism combined with my therapy, I am confident to say I would not be here today. Albeit, I have moments of wearing a narcissistic mask fueled with anger and resentment as my thoughts run wild, judging those around me and hyper-focusing on their faults, especially when individuals cease to present morals, ethics, values, and principles centred around humans and our society. Religion is not part of my life; however, I am bothered by those who follow a religion, so be it; they aren't justifying hurt to others because they belong to a faith different faith. I sincerely overthink so much around other humans' poor behaviour and actions towards other humans until I'm raging within, my blood pressure increases along with anxiety and ending with despair and disappointment. I often reflect on the words of Jacques Lacan, so much so that I framed a mountainscape view with the following quiet; “I think where I am not therefore I am where I do not think. I am not whenever I am the plaything of my thought; I think of what I am where I do not think to think.” ― Jacques Lacan There are a few people who do care, and clearly, these people are like unicorns. However, after a deep breathing session and reflection of Lacan’s quote, I can stomach the situation as my anger dissipates, resulting in sorrow; I feel sorry for these individuals who take pleasure in others' demise. All I can do is lead by example by disassociating from them and being as kind as possible towards others. And it's within the simple act of kindness that I sincerely feel better. Be well!
@@muddysidedown thanks for sharing, i hope you a good life and health in your life. I am sure great things will keep happening to you. Stay stoic and be open to new opportunities. Good luck 🤞🏻
We suffer more in our minds than in reality. Well put! Allowing yourself to be happy and content even though things aren’t ideal is a big lesson and one that is easy to forget day to day

This also resignates with me. I'm very guilty of this over my life. Now that I am aware I can begin to make changes.

Truly being in the moment - is one of the hardest things to master but the most rewarding.
Thank you, I enjoy every bit of stoic advice, greetings from South Africa ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that you enjoy the stoic advice.
First "vibe" is the first step to wisdom: getting things known by their right name. That is, the dichotomy of control. What can I control and what I can't. Oh, how often I get wrapped up in reacting emotionally to the opinions, choices, of others. Damn, this is hard.
Control what is within. Release what is without.
Traffic patterns. The choices of others. Damn you, Seneca, for being right over and over! How easily I'd give up precious moments of my life over the actions of others and how I interpret it.
Every day I drive to work and listen to your golden words. Love everything about it... the production and the contents. Thank you for enlightening us. 🎉
Wow, this is beautiful!! It's not the man who has little but the man who craves more that is poor.
Marcus, the wisdom , I’m so grateful and humbled!
"it's not the cold pizza that disturbs us, it's our interpretation of it" this one stuck to me because in a way, it highlights that it's your quality of thoughts that have control over how you feel, but it doesn't mean it's actually true ( im not sure if that makes sense ) and i realized how the 10 principles link together and, especially how you shouldn't worry about having control over the external, but instead, the internal. it basically means that it's all up to ourselves to be happy, life will always throw curveballs, it's up to you, how you react to them. i found the video helpful and im a new subscriber :)
Wow! This is the best advise I have ever gotten in my life. Thank you so much. I have just found my most favourite channel. Just subscribed!
I just loved when you said adversities are similar to how we workout in the gym for our physical body. They help strengthen our mind like how workouts strengthen our body. It’s such a simple yet powerful statement that’s about to change my life. ❤❤❤❤
For a guy who does suffer from anxiety and reacts to external factors in a emotional manner which is detrimental to my mental health, the stoic principles are something that I’m learning to use as a growth tool and to my benefit.. it’s good to relate this to modern life.. I’m also trying to source an easier to read/digest book of the meditations if anyone can recommend
All the teachings are helpful, I used to live my life this way, and I had no idea that it was a whole way of life for anyone other then myself. If this is who you truly are, do NOT let the world change you.
The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts:
1. Control what’s within, release whats with out
2. Embrace the present moment
3. Accept change as nature’s course
4. Detach from external validation
5. Recognize life’s natural cycles
6. Seek growth in adversity
7. Cultivate inner riches
8. Understand and accept fate
9. Be of services to others
10. Reflect, Review and Realign
Thank you to the channel for providing interesting and useful information.
So many good points! Reflection is like a update to your inner self. That’s something most of us just don’t do. Learn from mistakes and celebrate “small victories” excellent reminders!
Seeking external validation…..good advice to stay clear and seek inner peace
“We suffer more in our imagination than in reality. “
BRILLIANT
"Your worth is not up for public voting!!" 🥰 ❤🎉
10:10 these ten principles aren't about being emotionless or aloof, they are about fostering resilience, embracing the present, and leading a life of purpose and depth.
Well stated! Thank you. New subscriber to your channel. ✨
Thank you
Imagination is what brings negativity to my thought. It’s my own perception of situations or things that happened to me. I consider negative. Thank you keep up the good work.
For me the feeling of living in the moment, the value of reflection and accepting things happen all struck me most
the bit about how the quality of your thoughts caught my attention. Lying in bed fretting about things is futile. I’ve begun noticing this and simply choose to focus on something more neutral or positive. I’m new at this and way past middle age and my mind frequently pings back to ruminating but I have felt how true it is - that my thoughts create my experience - and by being more aware of my mind being hijacked by my imagination I can see how this awareness brings in some inner peace and calm.

Aaaaaàaaàààaaa@@thestoiccommunity
Such a refreshing perspective on embracing life's uncertainties and focusing on what truly matters.
Thank you for sharing this wisdom. For my own part, it was three words that resonated; "Bring it on". All good of course, still to sum up the essentials, has a great value.
People who watch judenTV are so appreciative of jeffery epstein giving them a new video. An shall be slayed as epstein was for elslaving the non npc. Aka God. Happy covid 2024. As I said shall happen. This time no protection
Detach from external validation! Thanks for the beautiful presentation!
I highly appreciated the knowledge. How ionic that I've adapted these principles into my life for many years. I must remember to keep them all in my daily practice.
Thanks so much!❤
Knowing when to be detached, and be strong, in the right situation is a blessing and not a curse. A perfect example of stoicism, at least as I see it! 🙏♐
Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's definitely a valuable skill to know when to detach and stay strong in the right circumstances. Stoicism can be a powerful philosophy to adopt in navigating life's challenges.
Every word is inspiring
Marcus is the Man.
More of this. Thank you
I just made an inexpensive lentil soup and added some Italian sausage to it.
I feel like it’s a way of making the most of what you have, along with appreciating the moment when I tasted it
Excellent! Your best presentation yet. Your phrasing is perfect and the fun in your wording is just right. Please continue this approach, it's utterly charming.
By the way, Epictetus rocks!
Namaste brother🎉 it very good point of view love it.
"Accept change as it occurs. Even the sunset makes way for sunrise and winter provides fluorishing ground for spring."
Yes
True words
Uncut, unshaven, bearded heathen. I love being underestimated based on my appearance and then just blow them away with high energy love and enthusiasm for life. ❤😂 I love it. You create your existence...
Being present is always a wonderful reminder because it's so quickly forgotten in times of intense life moments
Be of service - I believe we are all here to be of service to each other. Imagine how magnificent this world would be if we support, encourage and empower each other!
❤I like and am employed by both these philosophers, And I resonant with you too sir. Thanks
The stoicism is the way!! Stay strong my friends
For me it was "Be in service to others." This is very powerful.
I can definitely say I’m part of this Stoic Community! Thanks for the wisdom, I’ve been watching most of your videos
Acceptance, Loss, and External Validation. My favorite Stoics: Marcus Aurelius, Epetitus, and Seneca. The challenge for me is letting go.
I've started to listen to stoicism videos. Find them enlightening. We need these principles in today's world. Will encorporate this into my life.
I think my dad is unintentionally stoic. He doesnt care what others think or how they live, he have his own morals tho not perfect and he has his own flaws regarding specific things... he's calm, he likes peace and loves to be alone.
I've always been told i am like him, but i kinda have anger issues and can he severely judgmental. I dont interfere in others lives but i do have my own opinion on specific behaviors esp when it boils to misogyny and unfairness. I tend to act normal and dont give enough fck to care if someone talks badly about me, id still smile and talk to them if they did approach me.
I struggle with over thinking and inner hating of others and their behavior esp with things that triggers me and as stated before, isnt fair.
(I know no one cares but ig this is self reflection)
I completely relate to your words; thanks for sharing! Over the last three years, I've struggled with complex PTSD, and had I not embraced stoicism combined with my therapy, I am confident to say I would not be here today.
Albeit, I have moments of wearing a narcissistic mask fueled with anger and resentment as my thoughts run wild, judging those around me and hyper-focusing on their faults, especially when individuals cease to present morals, ethics, values, and principles centred around humans and our society. Religion is not part of my life; however, I am bothered by those who follow a religion, so be it; they aren't justifying hurt to others because they belong to a faith different faith.
I sincerely overthink so much around other humans' poor behaviour and actions towards other humans until I'm raging within, my blood pressure increases along with anxiety and ending with despair and disappointment.
I often reflect on the words of Jacques Lacan, so much so that I framed a mountainscape view with the following quiet;
“I think where I am not therefore I am where I do not think. I am not whenever I am the plaything of my thought; I think of what I am where I do not think to think.”
― Jacques Lacan
There are a few people who do care, and clearly, these people are like unicorns. However, after a deep breathing session and reflection of Lacan’s quote, I can stomach the situation as my anger dissipates, resulting in sorrow; I feel sorry for these individuals who take pleasure in others' demise. All I can do is lead by example by disassociating from them and being as kind as possible towards others. And it's within the simple act of kindness that I sincerely feel better.
Be well!
@@muddysidedown thanks for sharing, i hope you a good life and health in your life. I am sure great things will keep happening to you. Stay stoic and be open to new opportunities. Good luck 🤞🏻
We suffer more in our minds than in reality. Well put! Allowing yourself to be happy and content even though things aren’t ideal is a big lesson and one that is easy to forget day to day
This is entire video is a gem! Thank you for this content.
Thank you. I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the video and found it valuable.
