@SuccessSeasons for the most part yes but not always there can be other things that cause actions to be disliked, like subconscious programs, other problems bleeding into making new ones. So I will never judge immediately. Something is the cause of negative actions and people are quick to condemn the other assuming it was intentionally. Talk with them and take a minute to explain and see how it goes. Subconscious programs are automatic and happen wo thought

I am starting my journey and have been waken to how weak and needy I have been living my life. I thought I was a completely different person. Though I checked all the boxes with military service, college degree, good looks, tall and charming with principal, values and character. With the failure of my marriage were I was used and taken for granted and an after 16 years, I was unaware how little I meant to my wife and in my tolerance of bad treatment and need for validation. I bought into the happy wife happy life philosophy! I didn’t realized how low my confidence was and how comfortable I was making others happy!

Thank you for sharing your perspective. The intention behind this video is not to promote emotional manipulation, but rather to empower individuals to recognize their own value and set healthy boundaries. Stoicism teaches us to focus on what we can control-our own actions and reactions-rather than trying to manipulate others. It's about fostering self-respect and ensuring that we are not taken for granted in our relationships. If the message came across differently, I appreciate the feedback and will strive to communicate these principles more clearly in the future. Your unease is valid, and it's important that the content resonates in a way that aligns with the core values of respect and integrity.

The thing that happens to me after distancing and starting my new life phase is... That I stop having desire to be with the people who didn't respect me. They could really work hard to deserve having a place in my life, but I just feel ignorance and dont need them anymore... I always meet new people, when I change and focus on new things and don't feel need anymore for friends or partners who didn't value me enough.

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's powerful to see how distancing yourself and focusing on your growth has led to such a positive shift in your mindset. When you prioritize your self-respect and well-being, it naturally filters out those who didn’t truly value you. It's inspiring to hear that you've embraced this new phase in your life, meeting new people who appreciate you for who you are. Keep shining and moving forward-your journey is a testament to the strength that comes from recognizing your worth. 🙌🌟

It sounds like you've gained a strong sense of self-worth and clarity. Prioritizing your peace and well-being over relationships that no longer serve you is a powerful step. Your ability to distance yourself from those who don't respect you shows growth and self-love. Keep focusing on people and opportunities that uplift you-this new phase sounds like it’s bringing you closer to the life you truly deserve.

Keep pressing forward, and remember that every step you take is a step towards healing and reclaiming your power. Stay strong-you’ve got this! 🌟

*Your strength and self-respect are powerful forces. Giving someone distance often shows your own resilience and inner strength, and sometimes, that’s exactly what draws them back. But always remember, your worth is not defined by their return-it's defined by the confidence and peace you find within yourself. Keep standing tall, stay true to your values, and know that amazing things are ahead for those who honor themselves first. Your journey is leading you to something greater, so keep moving forward with grace and courage.*
@powerfulstoichabits5 ай бұрын
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement! It's so true-our strength and self-respect are the most powerful things we possess. Distance not only gives others space to see our worth, but it also allows us to reconnect with our own inner strength and confidence. And you're absolutely right, our value isn't tied to whether someone comes back, but in the peace and self-assurance we build within ourselves. I'll definitely keep standing tall and staying true to my values, and I appreciate your reminder that this journey is leading to something greater. Thanks again for your support! 🌟
