[@stoicbond]

Thank you for tuning in and sharing that perspective, @IronKong-1_2-sb3df! That's an intriguing way to look at it.

[@kamiafunchess2126]

That definitely is a great perspective. I believe the reason most do not like exploring because they have been conditioned to believe that they are "losing our" or they have to "suffer" to be better.

I just want to suggest something to you since you’re starting a new chapter in your life. Aim to grow daily, every day for the rest of your life. I am at the end of my life now and I still choose to grow daily, every day. Focusing on self growth is a far better pursuit then trying to help others grow. Consider that you might be wanting them to grow to make yourself feel better. Leave them to their own life lessons. Focus on your personal journey. I wish you the very best in your new life.

I read somewhere recently that "gratitude is the antidote to despair".

[@stoicbond]

That's a powerful quote and so true in many ways! 🌟 Gratitude has a transformative effect on our perspective, turning our focus from what we lack to what we possess. In the realm of Stoicism, gratitude is a reminder to appreciate the present moment and the simple blessings we often overlook. Do you have a personal practice or ritual centered around gratitude? How has it impacted your daily life? Thank you for sharing and sparking this discussion!

[@willk7184]

@@stoicbondWhat surprised me when I started factoring in gratitude to my daily life was even very small things can help lift your mood. Something like a good book or a nice cup of coffee or a kind word from a friend, when acknowledged instead of taken for granted, can really help change your perspective. It's very easy to fall into the trap of focusing on what we're missing in life, either what we've lost or never had in the first place. But the fact is that it is the nature of life to be incomplete. We can never have enough to completely satisfy us - it is a fruitless search for something forever out of reach or fleeting even if we briefly obtain it. If instead we can learn to appreciate the small gifts, the small moments, then we may find that the restless longing for more will be replaced by a simple peace of mind.

[@NightMystique13]

Gotta say it is true! Perspective can change something entirely.

I'm an Iraq war veteran (2), and I've been carrying an extremely heavy load on my shoulders ever since my time in country (03-05). There is no amount of medication to equal these teachings. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@allisonshaw9341]

My family is Native American, and when service members return home, be it on leave or for good, they go through a series of ceremonies to heal within and without as well as get their headspace cleared up and aligned. The elders conducting these ceremonies talk gently to them, guiding them through meditations and encouraging them to release tensions and negative emotions/thoughts, and you'd be surprised how most Native traditional beliefs are basically stoic in principle. Some of our family have also brought non-Native fellow soldiers with them to get help they aren't getting in their own families or communities. They were welcomed as warriors and treated with honor and respect, and allowed to heal at their own pace. Incidentally, the Reflections of Marcus Aurelius is a favorite of one of those elders conducting the ceremonies, and he is himself a veteran. Stoicism used to be taught in military academies and according to my dad (USMC-Korea), was also a principle taught in the military at large as part of training. Personally, I think it needs to be taught to everyone beginning as soon as a child shows the ability to reason, certainly in school, and should continue throughout life. Society would no doubt be the better for it.

[@user-qb4rf9mx6d]

[@stoicbond]

@vivalaresistance45 First and foremost, thank you for your service and sacrifice. It's both humbling and moving to hear that these teachings have brought you some solace and perspective. The weight you carry is unimaginable for many, and it's a testament to your strength that you continue to seek growth and understanding. May your journey ahead be filled with healing, self-discovery, and peace. Do you find there's a particular Stoic lesson or practice that resonates with you the most? 🌟

The reason Vietnam and Iraq/Afghanistan vets have some many problems is because they feel guilty for not being on the right side of the war. They were invaders foot soldiers of the corporate elite and politicians. They flew thousands of miles to slaughter poor people that never did anything to the American people their only crime was snubbing the politicians and standing in the way of the American agenda. I don't think any of you will ever have peace of mind about your actions, and because those actions were ultimately motivated by greed and the lust for power I don't know if you deserve peace of mind. Your conscience is there to remind you not to do evil.

Thank you for your offerings! Great channel. I just returned to The Stoics teachings this past year. I devoured them in college, but I was just too young and immature to practice with them. I knew in my heart that these GREAT minds would be a guide one day. I would utilize the wisdoms sitting with a therapist and my own writing. The older I get (52) the more I lean into The Stoics... finding a calm balance in this chaotic world. Aurelius and Seneca are a balm that heals. The "work" is pretty simple. What a relief to know that WE have that ultimate choice of our freedoms. Freedom of mind, heart and presence. I wish all that are here deep comfort and Peace! ☮☮☮

Practicing detachment is also a key to expanding your comfort zone.

[@olebogengmagano8883]

I dont think its entirely tied to that. Being dettached allows to manage expectations and external energy that is not beneficial to you. Having ego is more tied to expanding your comfort zone.

I couldn't agree more, @TroPy1n! Stoicism offers a powerful framework for understanding and navigating the challenges of life.

Fantastic video. I love how the arguments are addressed with each meditative perspective. I’ve been journaling every morning for the past 8 months now and this has been a life changer.

But every entry naturally ends in gratitude if you write three pages minimum.
