This PHILOSOPHY Changed my LIFE

There are certain things in life that are in our control, and there are certain things that are not in our control. But we humans have the tendency to attach everything to ourselves, leading to stress, anxiety, depression, and whatnot. Watch this video about Stoicism to find out what it is and how it changed my life.

Surrender what you can't control and Max out on what you can!

[@lonewolf8644]

Everyone keeps saying surrender but what is the definition of surrender ?

Which is the same said in Bhagavadgeeta🙏🏻

I just realized I'm practicing stoicism without knowing anything about it prior. I came to this state of mind after facing a lot of disappointments and misfortunes in my life. I don't think people can start practicing stoicism by themselves only life experience can teach them.

I used to be a stoic before but then I Discovered Bhagvan Gita ..the superset of all mindset

[@otherside1279]

For real, these modern stoic trend will soon be replaced by Bhavat Geeta

The way you explain subject is awesome, i tried to understood it earlier but couldn't do it. Kudos

This was so well put. Thank you! ✨

[@darshanveershetty3233]

I'm clearly a deep stoic. Thank you for talking about the aspects of this.

[@iamwho1038]

A lot of things you said had been given in our Yoga and Ancient Indian Spirituality too... But yeah good to see other places too such thought process and philosophy converge.... Even many Eastern philosophies too it is present....

[@divyanshusingh7124]

Yes but the assumptions are different.

[@mrapricity]

Best Example- Adhvaitha Vedanta's application to life leads to this stoicism..

[@parthkumar7711]

You just made soo beautiful video covering the basics so nicely........i love Stoic

[@adleta4171]

Tbh I am a very satisfied, uninterested, not influenced person who does not want anything from life.. now watching your video I realized there is too much of stoicism in me.. I didn't know the word but I knew how I am functioning. And this completely acceptance of situation of life is also not a good thing because this led to me disinterested in my own life and don't wish to live life because there is nothing to achieve it as I am already satisfied of everything... So actually I am trying to think opposite of what u are proposing.. I am trying to unaccept and change my circumstances and be more curious and trying to set small goals for myself.. trying to be little passionate about things than before.. trying to engage in my life and exploring new things.. I think thats the difference between a passionate and not so passionate person, a pessimistic and an optimist person .. beacuse for u Stoicism is a life changer Philosophy but for people like me opposite of that is what I need .. I think this is because passionate people are too restless they want to accomplish and concern new things while I am always in rest which sometimes makes me frustrated

[@Chryso5]

thankyou for making such amazing and wonder ful creation had been going around with some frustration and this really told me why feeling much better now thankou for much time

superb background and video !!

[@shaxter]

Mind-blowing

[@nidhipgupta4462]

6:36 i think i can describe what you're describing better. its not about not feeling sad or angry but to feel it in its entirety and focus on it and remember exactly how it feels so you slowly become comfortable with it. you seperate emotion and action and simply becomee comfortable with the emotions you do feel instead of suppressing them. just sit and observe your emotion and exactly how it feels and instead of suppressing it focus on it as much as you can and you'll start accepting and processing emotions in the best possible way

Brilliant ! Rehash old, native wisdom and give it a big, foreign name, and our ever-distracted countrymen, always eager for some new crutch to grasp are game. But on the positive side, there is the hope that this just, might resonate and have some salutary effect on our people.

Great video Varun! If someone wants to get started with Stoicism, a good starting point is the book "A guide to the good life" by William B. Irvine

I didn't knew that something like this existed. I have been doing it since childhood without knowing that I'm practicing stoicism. People call me crazy for always thinking worst case scenarios.
