You are known by your acts

"Well done is better than well said" ~Benjamin Franklin The calmness of this video is so comforting! Was about to sleep & felt at peace after watching. Thank you.

[@rje1630]

Yours is one of the few channels I will stop to watch a video as soon as it drops. The number of times I have shared your reflections with friends and family is too many to remember at this point

[@andreajoy224]

"Our acts are up to us. If we adhere to virtues, we can experience heaven on earth." Thank you for sharing these beautiful thoughts and ideas. 🤗

[@CaroleMora22]

Beautiful reflections, that underscore Simone Weil's ideas related to attention and will. Specifically: when she wrote: "Attention, taken to its highest degree, is the same thing as prayer. It presupposes faith and love." and " Absolutely unmixed attention is prayer." and "If we turn our mind toward the good, it is impossible that little by little the whole soul will not be attracted thereto in spite of itself." I had not read Gravity and Grace until you mentioned it, recently, and am just now having the pleasure of soaking in some of this timeless wisdom, and am understanding better what the stoic philosophers offer as well..many thanks for the weekly food for thought.

Your words are source of great comfort and healing. Thank you !!

[@UncleKelly-Wtns]

Meh, you're all dying from the pride of life, never too late to repent!!!

[@creepydani3225]

I initially read the title as "You are known by your cats" and I was ready to just run with it haha. This topic reminded me of an entry I found in one of my journals from high school. I determined that while I do not have power over much of the world, I have power over absolutes. Stating that no one cares about something is untrue if I care about it. Stating that everyone is bad will be untrue if I am good. To this day caring, having empathy, and living up to my own ideals brings me comfort because at least I know for sure that somebody cares.

Our words and actions tell the truth of what we believe and who we are. Beautiful fall day, walking and nature always makes us happier and healthier.

[@Cy4nSw4n]

Nature is very healing indeed ❤ I have a random question. I don't know if it's too bold to ask but I'm very curious - What's your favorite song? You've mentioned music before and I've been very curious since then. I'd love to listen to it!

[@wintertontoday]

Thank you for this! I really struggle with the concepts of and required actions in "loving oneself" and "self acceptance" all the while you are not what you want to be/who you want to be/still have many flaws/unhelpful undesireable habits. Normally, if we don't like someone - we move away from them; certainly we don't stay around any longer than we must, and certainly we don't go out of our way to be in their company and finally, it's a relief when we can get away from them. In one of Laura Marling's songs, there's a line that says, "It's hard to accept yourself as someone you don't desire". Tricky.

The words we say do not show exactly who we are, the proof is we can change.

[@oneyedeagle]

I was thinking about this the other day, it's especially your consistency with those actions that shapes how others see you, and how you see your own self really. You being late one time doesn't make you a flakey person, but you doing that repeatedly is what really makes you one.

[@Englishroserebecca]

I pick up other peoples trash all the time, but at the same time I feel a resentment towards them for leaving the trash and being so uncaring. I never thought of it as they don’t love themselves enough to pick up their trash. I’ll try and feel compassion for them from now on.

[@quinnco9]

To echo some of his past videos, we don’t know for sure what fortune brings or what caused this specific person to leave unsecured trash (ignorance, forgetfulness, disregard, spite, a sudden emergency?). Thus it’s not on us to judge or blame them, especially not having seen them ourselves. Regardless, we’ve been presented with an opportunity to make our local environment a slightly better place by sticking to our principles and focusing on what we can control instead of someone else’s actions.

I enjoyed your conversation with the Everyday Stoic. It was a nice surprise that popped up in recommendations. Hope to see more conversations and collaborations. Super interesting. Thanks.

[@ThaBIGBOSSX]

Nice video man good informative info you shared and that park looks like it’d be a pleasant and refreshing place to take a walk in.

[@Mathias_Beaufort]

I'm glad to hear that you find it helpful and that you appreciate the ideas presented.

[@draganapasti_]

Yes, everything is guided by ideas. The point that directs our acts which speak so loud about ourselves. The truth that reveals us as human beings. Such an illuminating & inspirational speech. Thank you. ☀️🌳🍁🍂🍄

[@user-pm4oe5rn9t]

Thank you for your reflections👏makes a difference in the lives of many people👏

[@KootBear]

I found your channel about a week ago and its absolutely amazing! you are unique! ha det gott!

[@Cy4nSw4n]

My #1 goal in life is to heal into a heartspace where I can look at everyone and everything that ever hurt me, with love. To say "you tried to taint my mind, my heart, and my soul. But I took you and alchemized you into understanding, love, and strength" Because, in that moment, it'll be as if it never touched me at all. Just temporary shadowy monsters that only made me sad and cower and hateful for only a little while Hurt people just go on to hurt more people. And then what? We hurt the world because WE didn't take the time to learn to stop hurting our OWN selves I apologize for the rant. It just kinda happened so I'll leave it lol

[@moelarry8088]

Well said, good luck to you

[@EMartones]

Most people experience a deep grief as they connect with the parts they had to cut off because of coping or surviving. Linking back the source of who we always were facing your demons can be challenging, difficult and brave. Taking back, your power to live your life the way you desire, an instant relief, it's like coming home.

[@afkhoso]

This is the only channel I've hit the bell for ❤

[@KB-bd4jq]

I like how focused you are when that cute pup is everywhere. I would be so distracted 😂

[@Ljtheog12]

Always minutes worth spending on this channel!

[@beadld]

If everyone thought like you, the world would be so much more peaceful. You’re my daily source of wisdom when I need to stay grounded. Thanks🫶🏻

You don’t need to drown the darkness with light. You don’t need to replace negativity with positivity. You bring the darkness to the light as an offering.

Wow! So beautifully said

[@TheJordanLeopold]

Another great video. I had this concept in my mind for the past week, but thinking about the bad decisions we make within society and our personal relationships. No one wants to be burden by financial debt because we made bad choices. So why burden ourselves spiritually through social debt and be perceived negatively for bad acts? Of course we don't want this level of guilt on our conscience. Let's all be mindful of how we are, what we do and how we hold these acts against ourselves. Looking forward to the next video!

[@Fatima-c2r4fhp]

Thank you so much for the explanation ❤🙏

One day I was walking with an college student in the city and suddenly he threw his trash onto the street. I ask him why he does this… and his answer was, that soon there will come someone to clean the street… and he always does this, cause- why not? / so… in my opinion, he was just arrogant… enjoyed the thought that someone is cleaning his trash after him…

[@AvaIor]

Are you back in the states? Didn't know they had statues of Goethe and Schiller there. A great fit though, I always thought German Idealism goes well with a lot of what Seneca and Meister Eckhart have to offer.

[@magmamage]

As my own worst critic how can I correctly judge myself? Should I focus on my acts and judge them instead or am I missing out on some points?

OUPS The words we say do not show exactly SHOW who we are, the proof is, we can change.

[@santiagodesousa709]

I have found that paying attention to my own acts and that of others tends to be overwhelming sometimes. Often anxiety comes in. But the progress has been so real, so worth the struggle. Thank you for expressing these ideas so well.

[@girira789]

I agree and this tittle made me to introspect.thanks
