Reframing obstacles as opportunities is a game-changer. It's the difference between just surviving adversity vs actually growing from it. The Stoics didn't just accept hardship, they actively mined it for meaning and wisdom. And that allowed them to tap into a source of strength that transcends circumstances. We all have that same potential, if we're willing to shift our perspective. Simple idea, profound impact.
Adversity loses its power if you respond to it with "is that all you got?"
😅
Overcoming adversity is not as simple as counting 1-10. You have to realize we are not meant to suffer permanently. Temporary hardships can somehow drastically alter the course of our whole lives.
Buddha would say otherwise… we kinda are meant to suffer, but by overcoming the suffering we grow stronger and more resilient. It’s human nature to suffer; most stories from history tell the same story, even children’s songs too.
In the USA, we tend to live with blinders on to what doesn’t fit our perspectives
First of all, the expectation of "life being perfect" itself is completely false. It is mere foolishness to expect and believe that nothing will obstruct me or there should never be any trouble in my life. Life is abundant of troubles and being unprepared for facing troubles in life is indeed foolishness.

Thank you again Ryan for your spreading in wisdom
Adversity is not meant to be overcomed, it is meant to be experienced just as any other part of life.
I like to think I can overcome my own fears by experiencing adversity.
The obstacle is the way...
Always learning from you thank you
Here’s an idea…
We need to normalise different ways of having conversation starters.
Like let’s say instead of “complaining about the weather” why not it be
“what are doing today to heal?”
“What habits have you been trying to overcome?”
“What is the one thing you did today that you’ll be thankful for tomorrow?”
The more older I become and the more changes that happen…I’ve began to only find interest in people who have answers to how they overcome adversity in their life and how they went about facing challenges…something completely different and very rare to come across.
Beautiful
I’m not passing a good time, since two years life has been rough. I’ve been watching to your videos because I feel Stoics might have a more grounded approach towards life than religion, and I understand their perspective and their approach but I just don’t know how to rationally use their suggestions when life is a total failure
Adversity is the way. Don't run from it, embrace it.

Hey, I'm early.
Too Short to explain this important message

Adversity strikes again, a new opportunity.
How about old age? Same as adversity me thinks.
I enjoy studying Stoicism and I find much value in it, but I also find it to be overly idealistic. Saying that circumstances are neither good or bad is silly; seeing your child die of cancer or your wife being raped before your eyes ARE bad things. And the idea that the Stoic sage can stay tranquil and calm in all circumstances is unrealistic. If I am going through a hellish experience, telling myself that these things are external and things I can't change, isn't going to do anything to help me maintain peace of mind. We can learn a lot from Stoicism (just as we can from Buddhism and many other schools of thought), but Stoicism (and these other schools) set unachievable goals that no one (at least that I have met) ever succeed in realizing. A good dose of Aristotelian realism comes in handy.

Stoics would never use Ai generated art

Start with introspect, focus on the things you can control, take your past not as a burden but as an encyclopedia of mixed experiences. Set a clear goal, break it down to small manageable steps and follow through it with consistency until you have achieved it and while you will be on a journey to redeem your life that's where you use stoicism to have unbreakable spirit and mind to push through uneasy feelings and obstacles. And remember don't repeat the old mistakes.
