[@StoicismandModernLife.]

Wow, John, your list captures the essence of Stoicism perfectly! Every point resonates deeply. Thanks for sharing and for the kind words Ryan and the Daily Stoic team truly appreciate it!

[@iFingerediCarly]

Zoom out meaning?

[@thefloorstalker6064]

@@iFingerediCarly Another way of stating this would be for one to step back and "look at the big picture." As Ryan points out, "to gain clarity and perspective." Hope this explanation helps a bit. Enjoy the day.

[@tonywentoutside]

Being a friend to your self, what a hard lesson to learn after only ever hearing criticism and negativity towards yourself from those you expect to love you. I think this is the hardest for men, as its rare to ever hear something positive said towards you as a man. You cant expect others to make you happy, its up to you to be happy anyway.

The highest truth is this: The greatest thing we can do in this life is to suffer with joy.. Which is to absorb evil and give love in spite of what happens to us

[@edmboi]

I partly disagree about absorbing evil. we don't need to be a vessel or endure it. but yes, give love.

[@joemac84]

@@edmboiWhat did Christ did on the cross, is what I meant by “absorb evil.” As was said by him, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” What if love were in fact the greatest force in the universe, even more, the very thing which created it and binds it together this very moment.. It is good to meditate on these things..

[@mcgritty8842]

@@joemac84Christ didn’t do anything on the cross except die. He was sentenced to death. He didn’t sacrifice himself…

[@joemac84]

@@mcgritty8842Let me state first that I’m not religious. This all has nothing to do with religion. Jesus knew that was what was going to happen if he lived the way he lived and said the things he said. He knew it before he came actually. It was his joy to do that.. The sacrifice was coming down and completing the work. We all sacrifice in this life if we choose to give and receive love.. It’s good that you are thinking about these things

When you're in the thick of life it's so hard to zoom out but for me, I want to remember to do my best to simply be a good person. From that I truly believe comes good work and allows one to take a proactive approach to the All! Thanks man. Honestly, thank you! 🙏

Ryan, your work has given me so much strength over the last few years. I went through a divorce 3 yrs ago after 17yrs of marriage, lost my job 2yrs ago after being in it for 20yrs. The strength that I have found through your books and videos has helped me keep going, when times are dark I find myself coming back to things I have read or watched over and over. Thankyou for making somthing like stoicism so accessible, and relatable.

[@sailandale]

I’ve followed stoic teachings for many years now and Ryan has been a great guide for me as I’ve faced extreme stress, heartbreak, divorce, loss of career and now the spectre of illness. I push myself to “do my best” in each situation I find myself in (though I don’t always manage it) so that I can live with myself and be a good role model for my sons. I don’t tell anyone about any of this and in the end I cling to two of Marcus’s quotes. “The obstacle is the way” and “I’m not afraid of death, I’m only afraid of not doing my best”.

[@Sphicks1919]

That's beautiful

[@pw44salem]

Spot on!!! Peace.

[@sandradrouillard7150]

I wish that I could have learned about Stoic Philosophy when I was younger! I am grateful that I found this knowledge the past few months, and have been trying to learn and grasp the principals. I started reading Ryan's book The Obstacle is the Way, and it is so impactful and resonates with me! Peace to all people that want to be a Positive Force for Good in the World!

[@StoicismandModernLife.]

Wow, your resilience and commitment are truly inspiring. Staying strong through such challenges and being a role model for your sons is incredible. Marcus would be proud. Keep pushing forward!

I had never considered that the world is the way that it is so that I can become the person that I'm capable of being. That really helps. Thank you!

[@arizonacolour8793]

Good job dropping a random quote with no added context or insight..... Let me do it for you. Maybe being alone and isolated is NECESSARY in seeking what's best for yourself. Maybe chasing that better version of yourself DEMANDS being alone, undistracted, and isolated. Maybe now is when you do your best work. So don't let the supposed loneliness bring you down, USE IT to your advantage! You got this! Just keep going

It's not a matter of being "worthy" of friendships or love. It's a matter of recognizing that people will disappoint you, always. It's not just a possibility, it is a certainty that people will disappoint you, regardless of who they are.

Thank you so much Ryan. I have been helped so immensely by this “thought technology” as Merlin Mann would call it. Life cannot be appreciated without these practices, and so many of us would be oblivious to what has been figured out for thousands of years if not for your compelling words and passion. I burst out laughing when I saw Tom Segura talking about ego. I used to love Tom but he has no doubt become intolerably arrogant, ungrateful, and entitled over the past couple years. He is almost the antithesis of what you preach. He’s enormously successful and has a large audience, and that is a powerful siren you must resist Ryan. It’s like having a video about being self-aware and then including a quote from Trump. Thank you Ryan!
