It's incredible how Stoic principles can provide clarity during tough times. What aspect of Stoicism do you find most helpful in managing uncertainty?

[@ngno9493]

"Don't talk about your philosophy. Embody it." - Epictetus. Once a stoic, always a stoic.

[@TheStoicBeacon-TGG]

I completely agree with you! It's easy to talk about philosophy, but living it is what truly matters. Stoicism has taught me that it's not enough to just know the principles; it's about applying them in everyday life, especially during tough times. How do you personally try to embody stoic principles in your daily routine?

[@Eternalised]

Absolutely amazing video. One of Stoicism’s main misconceptions is that it may seem cold-hearted or unemotional, it clearly is not. Your videos are great to help spread this message. Nassim Taleb puts it nicely, it is “the domestication of your emotions, not the elimination of your emotions.”

[@Einzelgänger]

Thanks!!

[@Jesus-rz4ke]

The domestication of your emotions. Awesome.

I also thought that stoicism wasn’t good. These videos has taught me other wise.

[@andreasgrunder7003]

(1) It's not the events that disturb us. (2) Most things have happened before. (3) Our thoughts are unreliable. (4) Adversity can make us stronger. (5) The present is all we have. (6) We're dying anyway. (7) In the grand scheme of things, we're not that important.

Its truly powerful to reflect on Epictetus wordsour judgments often shape how we experience the world, especially in uncertain times. Its easy to be overwhelmed by external circumstances, but practicing awareness of our responses can bring a sense of calm. When facing uncertainty, how do you remind yourself to challenge your own judgments and return to a place of inner peace?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Its amazing how the right visuals can complement the message so well, creating a deeper connection with the content. Stoic principles, like focusing on what we can control, can truly help us maintain inner peace, especially when uncertainty surrounds us. Which of the Stoic principles do you find most helpful in managing uncertainty in your own life?

[@elysianfields1671]

Stoicism is about control and serenity. This doesn’t mean, absolutely, being emotionless. But it does mean not being consumed and defeated by emotions and feelings.

Stoicism changed my life.

[@andrewpalm2103]

I've been a practicing Stoic for a few years now, starting with my reading of Irvine's "A Guide to the Good Life." It has become increasingly difficult as the disintegration of the American empire seems to have accelerated, and "the lunatics have taken over the mad house (errr, ahhh, the mental facility)." So I am happy to view your videos that remind me of the Stoic virtues of Wisdom, Justice, Courage, and Moderation. But it is still difficult not to get angry at Fools, the Unjust, Cowards, and the Immoderate when confronted by them almost daily--particularly when they are working against the Common Good. Thank you, and cheers from Wisconsin.

[@Stormvermin-bx1lh]

You cant be moderate with those that want you gone.

[@djkrptdnb]

A good way to not get angry at the people you mentioned is to realise that you also fit into their categories (sometimes). Just think to yourself: who is getting up today, steeling themselves and getting ready to deal with ME?

[@jules9628]

I love stoicism but it stops short of a relationship with A personal God. Jesus is the epitome’ of it all of this-plus His dependence on a Loving God who cares about each person. I think God answers prayer, and the anger, bitterness & pain ease, ee can forgive out enemies knowing the same seed of ugliness exists in every human being snd by Gods grace we do not behave as the worst of other human beings… even can become masters of overwhelming emotions, when we seek & ask for help. Just my opinion. Blessings~

Being this way most of the time, what I've experienced though, is that the more one knows how to handle life, our emotions and all, and come out of hardships as good as untouched or stronger, well, the Universe serves me even harder lessons yet to take on! Ugh! I've come to understand that it's kind of a never ending story, until passing! But, I do find life should become easier and lighter with age. I've skimmed a lot, and that's already much better!

That will exist forever and as there is only one consciousness that wisdom is within us all. It’s within every living thing for we are all one. We all come from and will return to the same place.

[@Diana-gt1rv]

This is a very useful summary of important principles to lead a peaceful and happy life! I guess I am already kind of a stoic person 😉 because I take life as it comes without worrying too much. The best attitude is that of a child who while peacefully playing lives totally in the presence. If you always worry about the future and are afraid of becoming old, then you will automatically become old much faster. I rarely watch TV, because the daily news about terrible happenings all over the world only make us worry too much and there’s nothing we can do about it anyway. I think life was much easier a century before us, when people had no TV and no Internet. It is a natural fact that life is limited and I’m not afraid about death. It is our thoughts which make us unhappy, not what is happening in real. What I found interesting in this lecture is the statement that our mind is capable of turning fantasy into reality. This can be a gift, but also end in a nightmare. The best remedy is to always observe our thoughts and stay focused on the present. Then we can avoid ending up in a carousel of thoughts which make us sleepless and from which it is difficult to escape.
