Delayed gratification is becoming more and more difficult, but it is the only path to achieving truly great things

*We suffer more often in imagination than in reality* - Seneca This resonates so deeply with me.

[@самоуничиженный]

Because it's true. Sufferings are hardships thriving from a ficticious mind.

[@chaitanyabuilds]

Can't get any more real than that

[@raypurchase155]

thank you for this

[@ToThePureAllThingsArePure]

very similar to buddha's teaching, "one suffers when one is struck, and then again for a second time in the mind. the first cannot always be avoided, but the second suffering can." (slightly paraphrased)

@@ToThePureAllThingsArePure it's really simple,if you're suffering you're lost in thought.

Not gonna lie most people who watch this channel don't get the chance to implement half the stuff that's covered in these videos, but they really are a good way to kick start that work ethic.

1. Delay gratification 2. Narrowing your focus 3. Time is money

[@jaimetan]

Love how Stoicism overlaps so much with yogic philosophy. Ultimately, they’re different paths to the same thing: becoming aware of Self, what drives you, and how to change unhelpful patterns. It all starts with that self-awareness and deciding what you’re going to do with it. Thanks for sharing!

[@ADI-xp4qe]

I feel this is not a self help channel anymore, it's like shared struggle channel. As, one might feel at the end of every video Sinbad had figured it out, and then we continue with another video on how to deal with life. Not saying it's bad for channel, on the contrary I feel it's great what you're doing man. A form of reminder of our own mortality and we are all here to give our best to what we value :)

[@arjunarun9147]

i started taking notes while watching your videos and it had SUCH a profound impact on me...anytime you upload stuff like this ill watch slow and take notes from now on...this is definitely something i should have tried a LOT sooner. Greatness is coming

[@arjunarun9147]

Also i like your idea of stick. Since I have typical Indian parents too, I'm going to get a stick for myself now

[@BasedBrothers]

Yes. A good rule of thumb is to spend energy and resources where you know it will bring an actual ROI to your life. That is what is most rewarding, too. Usually that means doing the hard stuff that we don’t feel like doing (that resistance dissapears when we start the activity, in my experience. There’s only resistance prior to the work.) However I don’t believe in micromanaging oneself, at least that’s not for me. Makes me feel like a slave/prisoner. Creativeness and great ideas can come from being understimulated and being free. Beware the barrenness of a busy life. -Socrates Stay Based

When you waste your time and then realise that, your time is limited is scary.

[@ankushhh]

3:33 Lmao I used to do this a year ago when I saw 'The Shining'. Guess I will jump back in the same concept except my imaginary friend will be named 'Nikhil' who with his stoic energy will push me to get things done XD

Perhaps my favourite video of yours till now! Esp. liked the imaginary friend idea. Looking forward to the Marcus Aurelius video!

[@kristianbonis483]

I've learned that motivation for me comes starting the activity not before so I give myself the two minute rule for example if I feel like I don't wanna workout I just go ahead and put my workout clothes on and by the time I'm dressed I'm motivated to start my workout. I also deleted social media which has opened up a whole chunk of my day that I use to read or do random chores or focus on a hobby.

[@Del_Puerto_Musica]

Thank god for the Stoics. I always return to them when I lose my focus! Thanks for such a great video!

[@luizamaya3678]

Been on NoFap since Oct 1 and I have definitely seen a clear increase in my concentration. I have now applied for a paid job and volunteering. I am definitely getting more urges now but I am trying to transmute that energy into different outlets such as going for a jog, meditation and study. Thanks Captain Sinbad for giving me the confidence to start as it has greatly improved my confidence! Best regards, Ben.

I think at this point thinking about all this stuff, trying to "min max" your life so much is actually detremental at this point. Organizing your life is useful, but to certain degree.

[@rockyino99]

I really love the video and ideas you put out. I'm just curious about having the energy to use all of your time to wisely. Right now I'm working a part time job as a concessionist and going to the gym 5 times a week. The gym I find productive but outside of these two things I feel so tired and drained to purse any goals that will better my life. I feel stuck in this loop only having enough energy to barely get through the week. I really want to self study computer stuff so I can eventually get better jobs but any time I have free time I see myself brain dead and exhausted

Are you able to do a clip with all the conversation points at the end of the video? I use screenshots to review content ive watched the previous week. It would be helpful to have it all in one screenshot.

[@CatastrophicDisease]

A main reason Seneca reads more plainly than Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus is that Seneca wrote in Latin, while the others wrote in Greek. Epictetus himself was Greek, and for Marcus, the norm at the time was for Roman elites to use Greek rather than Latin, since it was considered more sophisticated. Latin as a language flows more plainly than Greek does, and it also translates more smoothly to English.

Hey Nikhil, Great video, loved it. One thing that I think could be better would be using some other database rather than statisica. Our professor has often criticized it for being unreliable.
