[@WillCasallas]

Happy New Year, Mr. Atesh! I wanted to thank you because I think one of the most significant discoveries in the vast KZbin world for me in 2024 was getting to know your channel. I used to watch a lot of KZbin content related to stoicism and philosophy, but somehow, it ended up being confusing and problematic, as it tends to be overwhelming or make the philosophies seem too dramatic. I still remember the first video I came across: "Why Do You Postpone Yourself?" about eight months ago, and I instantly connected with your ideas. Since then, I started watching one of your videos every day after breakfast, and later, I joined your club. I love how these videos and Seneca's letters have changed my mindset and my attitude toward life. I can calmly say that 2024 was a great year for me, as I became strongly persistent, driven, and disciplined. Let's cheer for 2025! For your existence, the existence of this great community, the existence of great ideas and writings, and for all the progress we make, moment by moment, understanding how important it is to be just, kind, honest, and wise. Love from Colombia!

[@acceptingtheuniverse]

Thank you very much for your kind and humbling words. Your experience with other KZbin content mirrors my own and was part of the impetus to offer what was lacking. I am grateful for your trust and affirmation. Happy new year!

Can we take a moment to appreciate the serenity and sense of relief that comes from the utter silence of your videos? Your message is even clearer because of how your voice is the only thing we can hear. It's like being in an empty box in the nothingness of the void having a conversation with the self and having the space to digest and settle in the emotions your message creates within. Thank you.

[@darlingladymoon]

This is the best channel I've ever come across, no exaggeration. Your advice and the way you put things forward provide so much clarity in a way I've never seen before. Personally I believe that when it comes to problems in life, you won't truly understand the solution unless it's a conclusion drawn from your own experience. Atleast that's how it's been for me. People can advice you all they want and you'll feel like you understand but you actually don't because you don't feel that sense of clarity, or what was said reaching that spot in your brain. But your videos, even when you cover topics I've not really pondered on before, I see it all clearly. I actually understand it. It's a testament to what an amazing communicator you are. Grateful this channel exists, have a great year ahead!

Sometimes you need to hear something presented so truthfully and directly to simply wake up and learn to quit fighting with yourself and this post was it. Thank you for this video and its message and for your channel, this came at the right time for me to hear it and that time was now.

[@laca103]

It is one of the most "meta" video I've ever watched :D You have been considering your audience as adults, and with dignity. Struggling adults with goals, and values. But not as aimless children, who "need a father figure", as other more popular "intellectuals" do out there. In my childhood, I remember that those figures had the most positive impact in my soul who did not infantilise me. In your communication style you also represent Zeno's image of happy life as a "smoothly flowing river", and not as an epic fight between good or evil.

Your videos are such a balm to my mind. They keep me grounded. It might sound strange but I like to zoom in your videos so that your face speaking to me is the only thing on my screen. I get distracted easily, so when I zoom in, your eyes serve as my anchor to stay focused on your words. And after a few minutes it feels as if you were actually in front of me saying these things. It makes it feel as if I was your pupil, listening intently.

I’m happy to see you have made great progress in journaling. You even wrote a poem! You are doing a wonderful job… Recording personal thoughts, emotions, and reflections on life through this practice, you can gain insight into yourself and your place in the world. With journaling you can also gain a greater awareness of yourself and the world around you and cultivate a greater sense of purpose, resilience, your thoughts, emotions and habits. Writing can be a cathartic and therapeutic exercise that can help you release tension and reduce stress, also can be a way to tap into your creativity and explore new ideas. Your journal is your safe space so you can let go without fear of judgment. “When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love,” says Marcus Aurelius.

Glad you decided to make this channel man, love the videos and the newsletters. I feel like I live in a constant rush, always worried about the future. Not only that but everything we watch online seems to be fast-paced yet your content makes me slow down and listen/read carefully to every sentence. I think it is important to slow down because like you said, the present is the only thing we have. Happy new year to you!

Currently reading Meditations and only a day or two ago I reached the quote you mentioned, '“Why is this so unbearable? You'll be ashamed to answer.' It struck me and right away I read the line 7 times over again just to really adsorb it in. It both attacked my use of excuses and widened my view of the future. The future being making the best choices and actions possible in the present. I'm just happy to hear you mention it here 😊, very helpful lessons we all need to hear.

I love that I initially clicked on this video scoffing at the clickbait title, but now find myself walking away from it recognizing the paradoxical nature that it can be both a true title, and a clickbait title. It all depends on the level of awareness of the viewer. Ultimately, the title itself is true, but that doesn’t mean the being reading it will comprehend that deeper truth if they are choosing to live in shallower levels of awareness.

[@Pio-wn5bw]

hey man, loved the vid as always. i find a lot of value in everything you said about living in the present and not letting past traumas or future worries interfere. that said, i’ve dealt with some deep childhood trauma that led to severe mental illness, and it often feels like the idea of simply ‘deciding’ (even if it's not a simple process) not to let it affect the present doesn’t quite hold up. in my case it unfortunately is not the choice that this idea makes it seem like. and it's also neither because i'm unaware or denying of what's happened nor because i excessively dwell on it that i can't live in the present. it's because it's really put of my control. and it's conflicting because i know exactly what's happening and what needs to happen in order to be in the present; i just don't know how to do it. and that's my main issue with a lot of mainstream self-help content: they explain what needs to happen, but not how to make it happen. what would you suggest-both in terms of practical strategies and more introspective approaches-for someone trying to navigate this? just a guy trying to figure it out, so any advice or thoughts you’d be willing to share would mean a lot. keep up the solid work
