We suffer more from imagination than reality

I have been Bailing out irresponsible people undermines their growth and violates stoic principles of justice.

Mahalo for this insight and education.

Spirit of antichrist is dominating the thinking and behavior of my son in law and my youngest granddaughter. They are destroying the family abusive and condescending to the rest of the family members and I pray for the protection of God and the lord to remove these many entities rooming together in the house and property seeming to be moving into and out of my grandchildren and my son in law as they like the way bodies help them feed their hedonistic and selfish pleasures. Dividing the kids from their mother and the 2 sisters from each other. Now the sil was tickling and wrestling with the elder g daughter and started to pretend he was beating her in the head with a heavy headed hammer while holding the real deal and then she said that he told her that he will give her double the whacks and she went from playing and giggling to be creeped out and straight faced and I asked her what was his reaction to her change of mood and she said he was just laughing about the fear she was suddenly feeling and is telling her that he was just still playing and she was getting to serious about it because they play about dropping them in the river in water over their heads and nobody takes it as anything other than the joke that it is. But I am not feeling well and we don't pretend to bash the heads of children and believe that it's a funny or appropriate thing to do. I'm afraid that them evil Spirits and demonic entities are actually acting out their own kind of evil delight in the murder of the innocent of God's children and the sil will not even try to resist that urging being influenced by the evil and I'm concerned that they are showing their wants and desires because they are going to cause this horrible thing sooner than I have to get them the grandchildren and their mom my daughter out of here and I don't know what to do because not any law enforcement agencies are going to be taking me seriously on my own intuition, feeling of impending doom and the fact that I believe that it's a threat by evil entities that are using my family members as puppets and can make them take actions that are not usually inline with their normal behavior range and attitudes towards life experiences. Please pray for us and we will be so grateful for we need help and safety and a rental property in town to be made available for my daughter and I to get away from the guy who is keeping them in and around him because he is afraid of the whole world and the entities are making him feel like he's not going to be on the losing side of the fight and more of a badass rather than the coward he is and he is acting like it is making him feel like he has control when he's actually completely dependent on my daughter and he has literally put her between himself and the guy he disrespectfully pissed off and has allowed my daughter to control everything up to now just so he can avoid making a decision or an effort in any way. They had a great first four years and then he went from a person who had been at the same place of employment for 13 years and a good partner with the willingness and capacity to be a good and interactive coparent of the children and one day a few years ago he all the sudden stopped adulting in all ways he was able to. He was acting like a 9 or 10 year old when he first quit but is degenerateing and seems more like the level of emotional development and behavioral response to unwanted directions for a repair or a chore of every day normal responsible things that you have to address more like that of a 4 or 5 years ago now and it is suddenly getting worse in a much faster rate of time than before. My daughter has told him that she is going to move to town as soon as she can find a suitable place to rent and they will still talk and she will pay the last round of utility bills so he is not paying for the time her the kids and myself have added to but after that he will have to pay his own bills as she can not afford 2 house's and she is not going to be further supporting him to be enabled to be as lazy as he wants and not even try. What is so spooky about this besides the behavior already explained is that he seems to be acting like it is not true and it's not really going to happen and he is not doing anything to replace the loss of his source of money food utilities gas to look for work in any way at all like this is not real or he is not going to let it happen and he is the only one that knows that info. Help us please send any and all the suggestions ideas and prayers for our safety and his ability to be able to decide he is willing to and capable of making the entities move out and back to where they were from. Sorry about the length I had to be able to make the implied threat and the fear of the family being brutally deathly destroyed understandable if possible to

amazing messages

This video really resonates with me. It's so important to be mindful of whom we invest our energy in. Protecting our mental well-being by recognizing and avoiding those who drain us is a valuable lesson. Has anyone else experienced similar situations where helping someone felt more like enabling?

Helped me through an immediate situation

The only thing that we describe evil is our fear of the outcome

🙏

I'm 45 yrs old and just learning all this.

I am so thankful for today's message, I needed it😂

Yes!

good lessons

Anyone judging someone who lives alone is evil they have no permission or right to do so and is actually talking about themselves

Practice gratitude by acknowledging all of the good things for you instead of dwelling on everything wrong in your life.

THANK YOU

My neighbor is insane, throwing tantrums, slamming doors and heavy ruckus going on. 🤣it’s sad their childish behavior. Troubled

My gf is bragging me all the time and i am sick of it. She wanted me to hurt her for no reason and im sick how toxic a woman that i found.

Yes ues and yes

I’ve recently discovered the power of ignoring others. I’ve lived my whole life given everyone 100% attention and it brought nothing but disrespect toward me. I’ve noticed that giving zero attention to others has a tendency of being treated so much better without disrespect. I have stopped giving out my attention for free as it must be earned now.

One clue to detect an AI narrator is mispronunciation. I don't like the idea of listening to a robot instead of a human being. Aside from taking jobs away from people, it's super annoying. I won't follow this channel.

If you are a new listener ,consider Practicing, you won't regret. Never go gentle into the good night.

These videos are important to reaffirm the principles of stoicism. Every morning I write gratitude: then list at least 3 items that make me feel grateful. I meditate (took a TM course many years ago). Most importantly for me is to accept that I can’t control others on external events only my reaction to them. Thank you for these videos.

For the first time I understand what it was obvious to me. Thank you 👍

This video is a treasure trove of actionable advice! The explanation of 'Mirroring' particularly stood out to me-it's a subtle yet powerful way to create a rapport without saying much. However, it’s the intent behind the action that truly aligns with Stoic ethics, which is what makes this approach feel more genuine than manipulative. Has anyone else found this technique effective in their day-to-day interactions?

I'm truly impressed by how well the video articulates complex psychological strategies through the lens of Stoicism. The 'Law of Reciprocity' segment was enlightening because it taps into our innate desire to give back, creating a community of mutual respect and support. It’s not just about tactics; it’s about building meaningful relationships. Can anyone share a personal story where this approach has made a difference in their interactions?

So basically you're saying with these tricks I can persuade my cat to stop knocking things off the table Awesome Where do I sign up

Wow! This is powerful knowledge!

Practice discretion in sharing personal histories. Protect personal stories to avoid misunderstandings and exploitation. Share selectively to maintain dignity and self-respect.

👍👍

Thank you.

This is so true 🙏💯

Something I learned: Some of the characteristics described can show up in a person on the spectrum. Don’t be so quick to judge, as the older generations weren’t evaluated for spectrum issues in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Treatment is available if this is the case. . The word narcissism gets tossed around like a salad. 🥗 . This is a good baseline video reminder and a place to start learning about behaviors. ❤

There is no good or bad.

I used to think these Stoic principles were just nice ideas without much real-world application. But then I decided to test them out in my own life. Every time I fully embraced one of these lessons and made it a part of me, my life improved dramatically. I was amazed by the results. It didn't just affect me; it impacted all my relationships. Some people naturally drifted away, while others grew stronger and deeper alongside me. This experience has truly shown me the power and truth behind Stoic philosophy.

I GOT UP WITH SOMEONE LIKE I THOUGHT SHE WAS MY FRIEND SHE WAS NICE UNTIL SHE STARTED TO TELL ME HOW TO RUN MY LIFE TELLING LIES ABOUT ME I CONFIDED IN HER WHAT HAPPENED TO ME GROWING UP SHE TOLD EVERYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN SHE LIKES TO ABOUT HERSELF SHE EVEN TRY TO TAKE MY CAT BECAUSE SHE SAID I WASN'T FIT TO TAKE CARE OF HER I HAVE A HEART DISEASE BUT I ALWAYS TAKE OF MY PETS SHE ALWAYS KEPT PHONING ME OR TEXT ME ASKING WHAT I AM DOING HAVE I FED THE CAT WHAT I AM HAVING FOR DINNER GOT VERY ANNOYING SHE USE CHECK MY PHONE EVERY TIME SHE VISITED SHE REPORTED ME TO CENTRE LINK TOLD THEM I STARTED A BUSINESS AND GETTING A AGED PENSION NOT TRUE SO EVIL HAD ENOUGH NOT MY FRIEND ANYMORE I HAVE MY HEALTH TO LOOK AFTER SHE'S VERY OVERBEARING VERY CONTROLLING LIFE IS A LOT BETTER NOW SHE ISN'T IN MY LIFE YOUR ADVICE IS VERY HELPFUL I KNOW NOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR THANKYOU

Filled with good ideas. Helps me plan my day, week and year

Each principle is a beacon, guiding you to a state of mind where external events hold no sway over your inner tranquility. Stand tall, stay grounded, and let Stoicism empower you to live a life of unyielding strength and boundless serenity. Your journey to invincibility starts now.*

This video is a game changer! The concept of focusing on what we can control really resonates with me. I’ve been trying to apply it in my daily life, especially during stressful moments like traffic jams. It's incredible how such a small shift in perspective can drastically improve your mood and outlook. Highly recommend giving Stoicism a try!

This video really resonated with me, especially the part about valuing our time and not squandering it on unworthy distractions. I've realized that being selective with my commitments has made a huge impact on my relationships and personal growth. Has anyone else found that applying stoic principles to daily life has helped prioritize what truly matters?

The concept of valuing time in this video has shifted my perspective on life. Instead of being endlessly busy, I now prioritize activities that bring joy and personal growth. Have you tried changing how you manage your time? Let's discuss how this has impacted your life!
