How Stoics Develop a Strong Mindset

[@Micro_Learning]

People are criticizing you for repetition. Ignore them. Your overall message is the type that requires repetition and frequent reinforcement.

[@slsilver481]

Very true.

[@JeffD726]

Yes. Yes. 1000x yes. How does one complain about a free coach reminding you of what you may already know but need reminders and accountability! Keep it up!

[@Fourvirtues]

Couldn’t agree more. The dopamine driven need for constant streams of new information leaves no room for assimilation of it.

[@Turian_Hustle]

I’m the type of person that needs to be reminded how good things are when I’m feeling stressed. I agree with this

[@Bearzo23]

Agreed. I forgot most of what I learn 😆

[@madanmay]

1. Embrace difficulty in everything that you seek. 2. Read books to talk with the dead. 3. Reframe the perspective into something that can take the burden. 4. Treat the body vigorously so that it is not disobedient with the mind. 5. Focus on stuffs that's up to you. 6. Cultivate courage by progressively overloading in stress, difficulty and friction towards the things that are important.

[@2lazee4nameoil85]

You probably won't see this, but Ryan you honestly changed my life. Thank You.

[@catguy64]

me too..and Mark Manson.

[@mateuszskrzypek5393]

"I don't believe in myself. I have evidence." I love that powerful statement.

[@karatjuicepodcast]

“Any person capable of angering you becomes your master; he can anger you only when you permit yourself to be disturbed by him.” - Epictetus This has always resonated with me .. taking ownership for your emotions & not letting them be dictating by others is very powerful and useful to anyone no matter what phase of life they are in.

[@chotdock]

"If one accomplishes some good though with toil, the toil passes, but the good remains; if one does something dishonorable with pleasure, the pleasure passes, but the dishonor remains." - Musonius Rufus (the teacher of Epictetus) Having the courage to fight through hardship is what I try to learn right now - by moving to the other side for the world for my PhD, and starting a KZbin channel about philosophy,.It is scary and frightening, but it is one of the best ways to improve as a person. Thanks for this inspiring video Ryan!:)

[@hhdgdhum]

Stoicism helped me a lot. Thank you Stoics🙏.

[@alineharam]

I’m glad we are learning a little towards greatness.

[@bulletchevyz71]

Stoic thinking is saving my life right now. Without it, I know I'd be dead. It's the only thing that's kept me moving forward.

[@jayebejer7431]

Its also saved me from my demons

[@123444443]

Stay strong and watch the thoughts they are not always truth. Be open stay health and blessed. You can get through it

[@bradfisher407]

It’s that powerful? Wow. Thank god a friend recommended this. I must say after the first time I watched I said to him, this is pure gold. And it keeps getting better. I’m on the email list now!!!! I’m super happy about it. I want to get that book meditations too!

[@xolavonya740]

​@@bradfisher407It actually is that powerful...it saved mine too.

[@xolavonya740]

Stay blessed...it saved mine too hey.

[@zaikdesdecali]

Strong mind , strong habits ❤❤❤

[@KaiiReese]

Mindset creates the shift in the discipline we all need or seek.. enjoy the process stay the course, peace my stoics ~ 🤞🏽

[@Killianleduc]

Another good one! Ryan this year I picked up a copy of the daily stoic, which prompted me to read the obstacle is the way, and now discipline is destiny. Am subscribed to the daily news letter - the study of stoicism has been slowly changing me & my life. I’m accomplishing more, mostly mentally - than ever before. Pairing it with my religious practices has been insanely beneficial. Thank you for studying and then putting your findings into the world! Hugely valued by many.

[@wesleysnipesyah3591]

Never stop sending it

[@ralfku4280]

Shattering your ankle in a million pieces and having to stop doing what you love for over a year is also a great way to develop a super strong mindset. Although I don't recommend it :-) Nice videos!

[@gracefitzgerald2227]

Liked and saved into playlist. You and Robert Greene are and always will remain my heroes.

[@jayebejer7431]

Yes ❤

[@BanfilaBianca]

I don’t think I have ever heard of the Word STOIC, but now that I have heard and listened, it all begins NOW. Thank you for this video.

[@Skoopyghost]

I'm a buddhist. Stocism fits completely honestly.

[@itsmichaelmai]

Is there a big overlap?

[@Skoopyghost]

@@itsmichaelmai Not really.

[@marion4549]

This guidance is where it's at, embrace it and live a meaningful life.

[@rafvacation616]

Thank you so much Ryan for all the efforts that you put into your content for us ! We need positive people like you to spread the beckon of positivity! I wonder how many people have found hope in their darkest of times through your efforts. Love & light to you 🙏

[@lazycatdayz4ever905]

I was told “ Keep calmly knowing change”. I hate the unpredictability of life but it is what it is. All about acceptance.

[@miguellito25]

Thanks for every word you say. My battle is beginning and the only rivalry is myself and the winner is my Upperself.

[@Micro_Learning]

Love this. Your content is excellent. Keep it up.

[@Warley.Araujo]

Thank you, Ryan, for sharing and teaching. I'm a 55yo DV and everyday is it's own struggle. I've come to enjoy and look fwd to your videos. My Gregory Hays translation of "Meditations" arrived today along with a copy of your "The Obstacle Is The Way". Keep being you... ✌️

[@josemarialaguinge]

Thanks for the reminders.

[@amaisin8003]

I definitely need to focus on what I can and can't control. Trying to work on myself and become a better person for my own self. Really helpful video thanks. Saved to rewatch later :)

[@bethforst1498]

You talk... I listen...Thank you, Ryan

[@sophiec3592]

Needed all this - now as much as I’m hearing this I WILL PRACTICE THIS IN LIFE.

[@explorer.samrat]

Know what you can control and know what you can't. This is the ultimate and the primary principal of Stoicism.

[@zsuzsablom6256]

Need to listen to this every day. Thank you, Ryan.

[@StoicEvolution1]

Marcus Aurelius: "The obstacle is the path."

[@aaronwimberleymbamsf5776]

Great meditation to start the day=]. I love the “conversations with the dead” mantra- that exactly why I have groomed a healthy library of thought leaders going back through time=]

[@Hiepphandang0702]

1.Cultivate bravery 2.Do exercise and treat the body the right way 3.Focus on what we can control 4.Do hard things and push yourself 5.Read things from dead people 6.

[@vishwwaspatil]

Summary for my future self 1. Embrace difficulty in everything that you seek. 2. Read books to talk with the dead. 3. Reframe the perspective into something that can take the burden. 4. Treat the body vigorously so that it is not disobedient with the mind. 5. Focus on stuffs that's up to you. 6. Cultivate courage by progressively overloading in stress, difficulty and friction towards the things that are important.

[@jacknottingham9492]

Thank you for this today ❤

[@theartofcompetition5965]

the opportunity vs obstacle thing ive always heard that and always wanted elaboration on that

[@DeanKulaweera]

This was such a great video, thank you - recently started reading about Stoic philosophy because it really resonates with me.

[@Pellar7]

Being stoic !!

[@user-cp2pf8wn5w]

NEEDED THIS NOW. Thank you!

[@zerog4261]

I was always a sceptic but the Fonz leather jacket in thumbnail has me hooked😂 I only joke. Grt educational video, as always.

Lovely! Lots of gratitude ♥️🎶☀️✨💫🌟

[@orhansaimdemirturk]

Your best video,- among very good others I have watched-, as of April 12, 2023 Ryan. Bravo.. Great wisdom.

[@Comedy-tf7yq]

I VOTE yes to the beard Rayan 🙌🏾 in honor of Marcus

[@suburbohemian]

I live in LA. I have sat in that traffic. I have pissed other drivers off cus they see I'm enjoying myself. I consider it a golden time of chilling with my fave tunes and either a Diet Coke or a cup of coffee, depending upon the weather. I like heavier traffic cus it means people are not driving like speed maniacs and we may all get where we're going in one piece. I especially came to enjoy it when I am alone in the car, cus I'm a mom and it would be the only time I get to myself. The only downside is if you have to use the toilet suddenly so always know places to get off for that purpose, but otherwise, Whoo Hoo! Crank the tunes, Baby and rock out and rock on!

[@rjirving]

Loved this Ryan! Have watched most of your videos and this is right up there. Thank you.

[@DMkz111]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@draculaknight]

[@setiawan2791]

Read the meditation by Marcus and the watch your videos really makes me think about my life. Thanks Ryan

[@humancurve]

Stoicism is a mindset.

[@fredallen217]

I have a cold hear to a lot. However, You come though to my brain.

[@bin4ry_d3struct0r]

Thank you! 💜💜

[@juansong22]

thank you 👌🏼

[@69erthx1138]

Tolstoy's calendar of wisdom was the prominent influence in the life of Henry Charles Bukowski on practical matters. Bukowski is a labeled as a nilialist in pop culture. We could easily refer to Epictetus as a nilialist. Removing the extential bias yields a lesson, no matter how painful.

[@KmmBev]

Great video- thank you Ryan🙌

[@janelperez9726]

Struggle would determine if you are stoic and mentally strong.❤

[@leelalacee2379]

Thank you Ryan! Just bought your book and my life has changed ever since. Could anyone tell me the songs used on the video? Thanks

[@connorstar164]

Bible and Quran, has some of the best teachings from Noah and Abraham’s tribulations, Moses practices, David’s reproving, Solomon’s proverbs, and wisdom, the prophets tutoring, to Jesuses parables and teachings are stellar with Muhammad’s discipleships and practices as well. The same with the Bagavahd Gita and the Dhammapada, with also philosophical tie ins of Confucius, laotzu and practical philosophies are also a stellar practices and upkeeping, with Shiva, Krishna and Gautama Buddha with so much great teachings on how to live rightly, utilizing the four noble truths and eight fold path of the dharma chakra, go forth with such a good rhythm and modem in modern structure with the Japanese fundamentals of ikigai. To also the stoics, epicureans, a from marcus Aurelius meditations to the norsemens havamal, they have such good practices. From pragmatic, practical and mystical rhythms. From Joel osteen and various pastors, to zakir and other imams as for Christian’s and muslims, than you sadguruh and dailai lama for Buddhist and Hindus, you also have Ryan holiday for stoics, amazing stuff.

[@markgrant617]

Excellent video. I will look for your name on audio books

[@yogalifeandwellness3561]

I like all you have said...but also listen to your body... there's a time to "push" as you say, and there is a time to listen to the intelligence body and back off, stop or whatever is necessary to stay healthy.
