One lesson that really hit me was learning to let go of things outside my control. It took me years to realize how much peace that simple shift could bring, but better late than never!
It's so true that our jobs don't define us. Society often ties our worth to titles and careers, but true freedom comes from realizing we're more than what we do for a living. Has anyone else had this wake-up call?
I disagree, my job defines me and I identify with it. I'm a teacher, teaching is my vocation. I love it. I've been teaching for three decades, I'll never retire because I'm self-employed.
I agree! Stoicism teaches such valuable lessons about focusing on what we can control and accepting what we can't. It's amazing how much peace and resilience it can bring to everyday life. How has it helped you the most?
Being 'nice' is not the same as having boundaries. It took me a long time to realize that standing up for yourself is a form of self-respect, not selfishness. How do you all maintain balance between kindness and self-respect?
Love isn't enough Love alone can't sustain a relationship. Without communication, respect, and trust, love is like a Band-Aid on a sinking ship. Sometimes, the hardest but healthiest choice is walking away, even if love is still there.
Yes right. Love is important, but it's just one part of the bigger picture. A relationship also needs trust, understanding, and continuous effort from both sides to truly thrive. Walking away when necessary doesn't mean the love wasn't real-it just means the relationship needed more than love alone could provide.
Love alone isn't enough to make a relationship work, and realizing that can be both freeing and heartbreaking. What other life lessons do you think we often learn too late?
Burning the candle at both ends. That's me. I try to work on not doing that. Then end up doing it. Idk how many times I have gotten so sick that I couldn't move. Yet, I still do it
I have realized and been saying this in the last 2 years after I realized my company or bosses didn’t give 2 hoots about me as long as I got the job done. You sound like you were a lot like me. 😅😅
It sounds like your sister is really dedicated to her job, but maybe she's just so passionate about what she does that it consumes most of her time. It can be easy to fall into that kind of routine when you love your work. Hopefully, she gets time for herself outside of work too.
@@AncientWisdom79 -- Thank you.... and thank you for this podcast! --- She used to be fun and still can be. I'm glad she loves her job - it is just hard to be around. Bless you. It didn't occur to me that you had time to read the posts!
@@Sally150 You're very welcome! I was watching the video so I read the comments. It can be challenging when someone we care about is so focused on their work. Maybe finding an activity you both enjoy could help bring back some of that fun. Wishing you and your sister all the best!
Time waits for no one, and we need to stop making excuses and take action now. Great lessons to live by.

The way you push for action and living boldly is uplifting. It feels like a gentle but firm nudge toward a better life.
Well said , happy you can relate to my message. Stay blessed ❤️💯

Stoicism isn’t just a philosophy; it’s a way of life! I find it helps me a lot. 💫

Love isn't enough to make a relationship work - I can't believe how many people still buy into that myth. This video is a wake-up call!

me too
Very insightful, thank you. Priceless info, I wish I had this info when I was 10 yo.
Better late than never , thanks for watching 👌💯

Appreciable and very practical

做人善良肯定比什么都敢做不折手段不管别人感受死活好超多。心善肯定比心恶好超多。从来不会是想什么得什么。那很多人不会是我想发财住豪宅，没有几个得到。我就说不要想的事，每一个都不会想不好的事很正常只有一个特别不像人的态度跟全世不同所以不好。做人有爱心会非常有价值。谁说我没有价值
90价值当然比10价值高。这是我给自己的不会假是别人破坏我不给那麽高最重要的自己觉得有反而我能证明他才10他1居然以为他90。人品肯1定决定一个人跟行为。我肯定没有做他对我做的天跟神一定懂都是他8年多破坏一切。我的话当然 比他真1实可靠，不好听他的话很多不好没人性

My sister IS HER JOB. She loves it and she's boring. She's done nothing but work or wait for work, for 30 years.
