The sentence that has helped my career the most is "I don't know enough about that to have an opinion"

[@PunkRockGardener]

That’s wisdom in action.

[@cloudbullets]

Yep, it’s cool to not know things!

[@jbcrazy]

The humility is so valuable. I've had a similar revelation: I don't always care enough to have an opinion. Sort out priorities.

[@loganl7547]

Beautiful! Don't let anyone tell you that just because you CAN know something means you SHOULD know something. No one was ever meant to know everything. Not knowing is okay, being curious about things is okay, but speaking as if you know when you know you don't is not okay.

[@LordZontar]

In the movie Inherit The Wind (1960) a busy hot dog vendor in Hillsborough, in the middle of the carnival that has erupted in the town over the pending trial of Bertram Cates for teaching evolution instead of divine creation in school, is asked which side of the question he's on. His answer: "I haven't got any opinions, mister. They're bad for business."

[@TheDreamers86]

Gratitude is the secret to happiness. Appreciate the small joys in life and the love you receive from others.

[@lynnamandernacht2211]

Thanks for the video!💖 Get up early, don't complain, do not judge, don't be conceited, be in control of yourself, always do your best, stop giving in to anxiety, stop holding on to negative stuff, stop focusing on outcome, stop being so available, stop looking for credit, don't let everything in, stop trying to beat other people, and stop waiting to live 💖

[@Nemanjap995]

An interesting thing while watching this is my feeling of admiration for Ryan, and his lifestyle. And I have this feeling that "I want a life like that, but", and then can't stop but think that we all can go for a city strol, walk in the nature, café, you name it, wherever you are. You don't have to go some place special to change your life, and there's always that saying - wherever you go, there you are.

[@chetaaron]

Had the same feeling while watching but completely missed that same conclusion, thank you!

[@sleepingdogslie]

There is no “place” to go. It’s right here in the now. That’s all it will ever be

[@X_TheHuntsman_X]

That, "Did you always do your best?" question really hit me. I contemplated it for a moment and everything that I've ever done, and I think I actually have always done my best in the situations I've found myself in. My best wasn't always good, but it was certainly the best I could do. For the things that matter, I've continued to redefine what my best is. It's a great question to reflect on, and I'm happy I can answer it in that way.

[@jbcrazy]

I believe that most of us make the best decisions based on what we know at that time. Input changes and reveals our errors, but to do the best with what you know/ have is imperative.

[@esrl447-i6j]

I don't run anymore, but I lift heavy weights 4-5 days a week. This guy is onto something. No joke, I got carded (47) last week when buying vodka. If we take care of our body, it takes care of us. Peace and love.

[@RolandKoller90]

If you take care of your body, it takes care of your mind. It creates a beautiful cycle. Then you can spread that positivity to others 💪🏼

[@sauzefilms]

lol same. i cant even go for a 30-min run, but i love going for 2-3 hour walks/climbs. of course some people still thinks im in high school/college even though i'm 31 lol. exercizing and surpassing them goals, no matter how small it may be, does give you that boost throughout the day; and when i fail, it bums me out at first, but that makes me wanna work harder in the next session.

[@joannebrauer2688]

I had something similar that happened. I went to the pharmacy and they kept looking down at the screen at my information and then look at me. They asked how old I was. My face and my eyes do not reflect stress, entitlement or angst.

Iam 58 in physical pain 24/7, can't sleep & can't get help from any Doctor, I have to spend my days lying on a mattress in my lounge. I do not have the physical ability to run, to lift weights, to walk around the park, to visit other countries, everything I see in this video. So what about people like me? I know it was not your intention but watching your video just made me feel sad, I love the words but seeing you doing all this amazing stuff just reinforced everything I can't do. Please don't forget those of us who are physically unable to even get out of the house. Kind regards

[@KvittySilverMoon]

I am not a doctor. My boyfriend has debilitating neuropathy, it affects his legs and feet. Because neuropathy is a brain signal to that area, his doctor prescribed Cymbalta. Ok, here I am showing how I am SO not a doctor 😂... but, it is working with the same area of the brain where the signals for the pain are coming from. Thank goodness it is working. He'd rather the side effects of adjusting to that medication and any lingering effects than where he was basically bed bound.

[@leedigby8244]

Look into Dr Sarno and the pain Cure clinic. Been there and am out the other side with no dr intervention. It’s not easy but as is quoted in this video. “The body should be treated rigorously , that it may not be disobedient to the mind.” Work through those trapped mental feelings and you should feel your pain ease over time. Good luck to you

[@viksukhu5080]

Tbh bro 100% - but the video IS about NOT doing things

[@marshalmcdonald7476]

Good words here. I've been doing some of these already. As a result I find that I have more room in both my inner and outer life for doing things that are fun and meaningful.

[@PearallelParking]

Instead of questioning “Did you try your Best?” It should be qualified as “Did you try your REASONABLE best?”… Remember perfection is the enemy of progress!

Thank you for this! As an artist, I try to experience other people's work and appreciate what they created - and I consistently find myself having to fight off the inclination to judge it, to have a critical opinion, as though that proves to the world that I have a wonderfully diverse palette. This was such a wonderful reminder that having that opinion is not only unnecessary but can be distracting, toxically competitive, and ultimately unproductive.

That’s why most of the stoics committed suicide, they said there is no God, so they disconnected themselves from the power source, the source of wisdom and connection to life. Seneca, Bormus, Nero and over 1,000 stoics accounted all died by suicide. While king David said in pslams 30-40 any man who says in his heart there is no God is a damn fool. Proved correct. All the stoics rejected Gods, and tried to figure things out on their own, only to out themselves into a corner and they took their own lives. Suicide is not the way to life, but to death, they didn’t know how to live, while all religions from Christianity to Islam, Buddhism and Hindusim, give life, through our Gods, our fellowship, brotherhood and friendships. Stoics were idiots.

Some people have deep scars from childhood or genetic imbalances in their psychology. So we dont all need to or will attain all of what seneca or ryan is saying by the end of 2025. May be we can start to work on 1 to 5 habits first up and the others might follow in variating degrees. Key thing is not to give into despair, and keep going.

[@markg.4246]

The older I get, (68) the more I realize that I really don't know very much about anything. This allows me, hopefully, to possess a small measure of humility as I go about my days. It's what we call in addiction recovery, "being teachable". On a related note, some years ago, I removed the word "opinion" from my vocabulary and thinking. The very definition of the word opened my eyes to the dubious nature of what I think. We share our "experience, strength, and hope", the key word being "experience". What I "think" doesn't matter, how I feel doesn't matter...It's what I "DO" that matters! All the best, Mark

[@californianorma876]

Is there something in your past that you don't forgive yourself for?

[@Thomas-sw4eu]

​@@californianorma876 Probably the way I treated my family/friends/people in general when I was younger. I was a jerk to my grandpa, whom I loved dearly, but my temper was pretty unstable. Same with my mom, dad, grandma, best friend at the time (we're still pretty good friends. We buried the hatchet), and people I used to talk to online.

[@elizabethcole-walker8165]

Ryan, Thank you for the accidental introduction to stoicism, it is helping through my crises as a 50 year old female in 2025. I have begun reading meditations and hope to begin reading more on the recommended list. I have always done what (I thought was) the right thing and am an educated successful working women that is also a mother and wife. Although the "stoic philosophy" makes sense it strikes me that reading the wise words of the dead lately, much is through the experience of the (mostly) men). as a women some of the crises is a bit different as a women and solutions not so straight forward. Have you ever considered exploring how women can navigate theses truths understanding that we are held to higher standards and the actions are not always as rewarding for a female as they are for males in our complex society without allyship. Think that as half of American rejected a women candidate for president that represented what I strived to be as a successful women I am not sure what to be. If another person tells me that "you have your family" I want to slap them. I am an individual and I love my family, but am not defined by breeding and marriage alone. How do I apply stoicism to my life that is meaningful to me, understanding that what it means to be a women is so under attack and predefined by society more then just being a good person or true leader like a man is seen as? Anyone looking at this?

[@CaptainWillard93]

Awesome vid thanks. Just wanted to plan my 2025, some nice stuff here.

Goals serve as something to aim at - Bruce Lee. I think he was right. It is not about hitting the target, but about giving direction. For instance there is nothing wrong with wanting to run a marathon. It is a goal. But yeah, things can happen beyond your control that stop you from reaching that goal. No excuse to not train for it though.
