Stoicism vs Dread? Trying to find purpose

Talking about life and thoughts on what is happiness. Finding books that set the groundwork for thinking about and dealing with life. Can dread be overcome with stoicism?

It’s not easy to sit and talk in front of a camera. I really enjoyed those. I wouldn’t worry about run time,stream of consciousness is where the good deep thoughts are.

Purpose from productivity and the rest will fall into place without even realizing.

reminds me of a Thursday lyric: "a book that no one reads" our minds are become libraries that no one visits

24 yr old dude from FL here, just wanted to comment and say that it can definitely help when you feel stuck or lost at least in my personal experience to try to find a new interest/passion/hobby. At a minimum it can help make life feel more interesting and fulfilling to conquer new challenges, for me it is fixing engines and fishing, I can’t tell you what it is for you but I think it’s worth a shot. Cheers, may many blessings come your way!

Thanks for the share brother

You are not alone my friend

[@ambiencelectronica]

Agreed.

I would suggest reading the book of Ecclesiastes, even if you aren't religious. Try reading it outside with your bare feet (grounded) in the dirt. I'm not sure about happiness but contentment comes to me at moments when I am just breathing in nature and trying to truly see the color of green. Someday I might figure out what I want to be when I grow up but at 52 years I'm not holding my breath. Too much screen time = dread for me. The online hurricane doesn't match the cool breeze in the real world. Nature is where we belong; the further away we are from nature, the more dread creeps into our lives. Just my two pennies. Great books BTW. Thanks for this video and the last one.

Appreciate the insight you've given us about things. Keep releasing videos an I'll keep watching, I've commented on maybe like 5 total KZbin videos ever an been around for nearly a decade at this point. Theres some big potential here, only sharing my thoughts because I believe this time is crucial on whether you decide this is just a phase you are having or something you want to be consistent with, regardless of what you do end up deciding, thank you for sharing your thoughts an I'll be waiting for the next video

[@daneeag3372]

I really enjoy these videos. Your very soothing to listen too

[@InsomniacIV]

Getting a promotion shouldn't be the goal. That's ultimately outside of your control. Working hard, doing your best to help your organization and your co-workers is. And it sounds like you've been incredibly successful there. Cool voice, it kind of reminds me of Xemnas from Kingdom Hearts series.

If you're not happy money won't make you happy it's an inside job life I love Nature my kids dogs and martial Arts with my son I'm sixty next February

[@fritzvonrichthofen6568]

Happiness is an inside job. Bloody brilliant! I am stealing that.

[@aidanbrady2449]

The only failure is not trying

gen x. but i am more of a gen x than a millenial. i was supposed to be class of 2004

50% of people don't experience an inner monologue. Be thankful you even have one. Have you considered you have low T levels and that's what is calling your angst? And happiness is overrated. Look for meaning. I worked in IT for 30 years. You're not going to find it there. Don't like work define you.

[@aidanbrady2449]

We need to walk the walk for grouth to happen

[@aidanbrady2449]

We are more then the sum of all our parts

You are on a dark path :/ Eastern philosophy and left hand is there to control women. I recommend to listen some Patrice O'Neal and Jesse Lee Peterson. I also like skateboarding and Dragonlance saga. I'm chaotic neutral. Nothing in the world is changing when we change...
