Excellence isn’t this thing you do one time. It’s a way of living. It’s foundational. It’s like an operating system and the code this system operates on is habit

I watched the video but that was kind of you! 😊🙏❤
Thx!
Thank you
Memento mori: every good thing that happens in life is fleating, enjoy them while they last and be greatful for them; every bad thing that happens is smaller than death itself, they will pass, and if you can dominate fear of death you can dominate everything; life is finite, whatever you have lived is already gone, whatever is ahead of you is what you have left, live it to its fullest extent.
I finally started reading again after over 10 years without reading one book cover to cover. I've now read 2 and am on my third this year. Started working out every single day, running on my off days. Quut drinking alcohol. I'm going to keep this up for 2022 and then for the rest of my life. Feels great
Update: I'm down 40 lbs, I finally started working in the field I went to school for. My relationship is so much stronger, I'm much more present every single day. I'm happy and content. Taking a week off and I'm going to make sure to get some reading done! Everyone's messages of encouragement are so very much appreciated. Momentum mori, make today matter
Nice man, keep up the good work brother
Love to hear it. Keep it up
@@1wwway thanks brother
@@gmoney3975 appreciate it alot. Thank you
Wow, I hope you're proud of yourself, but seems like you look for confirmation instead.
I used to worry about everything, now I let everything worry about me ( : . A man that is too busy worrying about things has no time to live like he should be living.
Consistency is the fastest route to success. I've made my routine, and I'll stick to it in 2022. Promise.
Yes brother same here!!!
Right on!🤟
Let's Gooooo 💯
Keep at it 👍
Have you stuck to it?
Never underestimate what can be achieved in just one hour. So very very true.
I am in a hotel room right now, I quit the old me. I am tired of other people having power over me, my life, my decisions, and who I want to be. Memento mori indeed. I will keep on living the life I want starting this day. This is day one. It's no longer me saying that the life I want is going to happen one day. Thank you Ryan Holiday.
As long as you use the words I,me,my,mine too much in your internal dialogue, you'll remain in the same rut.
Im a 17 year old teenage girl, i very suddenly questioned my relationship and cycled into anxiety for days, but i finally understood i was scared of doing it, i was scared of showing up for myself. And yeah, that anxiety is still there, but this is the 2nd video of your's ive watched and they both really truly have helped me understand to keep moving forward, to focus on what you have now, and to just appreciate the current good you have, dont fret about when youll lose it because even if this relationship somehow lasts past high school, him or i will die, and i just have to appreciate the day to day.
2:57 this is why I talk to UA-cam videos but not people! It's like Journaling 👍 ❤
I have been a Stoic for 55 years and didn't even know it was a defined ideal. My old employee mentioned that he thought I was one so I looked it up on Google and UA-cam. This channel came up first and I am so inspired by it. The memento Mori part I learned from Buddhists. This idea is also one of their practices. Still, I needed to be reminded after losing my job last year from ageism, turning 65, etc... it's not what happens to you in life but what you do with what happens. Thanks.
“All growth is on the other side of resistance!” Powerful words to live by, and put into action.
-Ryan Holiday
Resistance is Suffering - Buddha
"Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one." - Marcus Aurelius
As a reader of "7 Habits of Highly Virtuous Stoics," I've realized that true wisdom comes from taking action, not just debating theory. This book has given me the tools to cultivate daily habits that align with my values and help me become the best version of myself.
I could listen to him and the videos all day for the rest of my life.
Everybody needs to listen to his point at the seven minute mark. Too much modern Stoicism is about getting what you want for you. That is not Stoicism . Thank you Ryan for putting in this point
How many lives can we impact for good. That is something to consider. Not for ego sake but for purpose for intension.
Love the message about not being an uncaring sociopath, especially in these sad times of hustle / Tate culture. You are a treasure my friend, thank you for putting this message out and being a positive example.
The video is trimmed and straight to the heart, we have no time to waste, Ryan knows that...❤
I walk daily. Read this saying years ago that is so true.....
"I walk for my soul. My body just follows along."
love this
WHAT a great video!!! Amazing habits, easy to apply! 1 Practice and apply philosophy
2 Practice something creative to get your juices going
3 Go for a walk without your phone everyday
4 Make progress on 4/6 of your goals every single day
5 Serve the community, engage with the world
6 Practice an endurance sport a couple times a week
7 Cherish your loved ones
8 Read! Ryan's tips for reading are amazing, I wrote down don't read bad books and that the point of reading is to get better
Last but not least: Memento Mori, remember we all will die and not to take everything so seriously! This is all just what I wrote down, should be accurate enough, I hope it helps in application
Stocism has really changed how I percieve things in my life, and is currently helping a lot when dealing with the repercussions of the pandemic. Great video!
'All growth is on the other side of that resistance' liked that
Stoicism is about not waisting time, energy, money but to focus work and engage in the right way for the right purpose and acquire resilience and fortitude and virtue on the way
I walk every day, twice a day. It makes all the difference.
”Classics are classics for a reason.” Yes! Couldn’t agree more.
I’ve stuck to my training,now 55 yrs ran 5 miles yesterday 44 mins ,, then washed dishes for eight hours,,,because 8 yrs on I have stuck to,my training
I love rewatching this
I needed this. Life is happening. It’s time to not be a disappointment to the self that is waiting for me to reach my potential. It’s been too long to beat around the bush. Thanks man
its nice to have play in background time to time to retrigger it, after we slack down hehe
we become even brainwashing about when we want to brainwahs or relax.. lol inceptions.
for exemple when i go to work i mindset completly diferent, cause i cant be normal human with mentally ill people, and cant let their intense lifestyle affect me emotionaly,
but then at home i can explode my personality, it become very strategic , logic, advantageous, to trigger on and off certain aspect. i cannot waste time not learning those diference and master them. as they give me surplus agility either at work or in hobies.. for music i want to be wild and free, at work i want to be empty solid robotic serious respected objectified , comfortable safe and easily recognised, for their narcism as im just an internal object. facinating to switch both extrem.. totally be yourself, totally be what is required-asked.
Hey Ryan, I hope you feel great now. I learned about Stoicism 1 mounth ago. I started reading Marcus Aurelius-Meditations. It is the book that I liked very much and it changed my life of course. I became more diciplined, more patient and more active in social life. I also start to improve my english skills again two years later with this dicipline. I choose one of your videos for every week. I watch them many times in a day. This video is mine 2. Video and first one was 7 stoic strategies for being creative. It was awesome! I learned many things and I put in my life of course. After that, I started to make a little of progress on exercise, learning english, reading. And today’s one of my responsiblities was leaving a comment any video on youtube. I choosed this video because I wanted to tell you thank you and this video is choosen by me for the week. Here is the sentence that i loved. You could be good today instead you choose tomorrow M.A. Take care!
I repeatedly hear people say they wish there was a manual for living life. Many believe this guidance lies in the Bible but most don’t have the patience to read any books let alone scripture. This video outlines fantastic concepts that if followed are a vector than can propel one on the path that brings satisfaction and open the mind to growth.
This guy is an absolute legend.
I do most of these already but the consistency part got me. I've been playing guitar for almost 15 years now and my only rule is every time I play I get just a tiny bit better. Every time though and it really does add up over weeks, months, years... Beautiful
It's in Times of trouble we open to see your videos and it goes straight to the soul without wasting a second 🥈... Well done ✅ Hero
This is one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen.
2022 is my year!
Because of you I found Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca. I found my new self. I am very grateful to you.
I am new to all of this, and it's so much to take in. I am going to try to live the stoic life. I have so much to learn and do.
The Memento Mori bit hit me. Since having COVID in early January, I've had anxiety and have been getting into my own head. All I've been doing is overthinking stuff, "When will this go away?" "Is there something wrong with me??" I've been checked by doctors, I've been reassured I'm fine, but still, I dwell on the thought of being anxious. It's led to being anxious about having anxiety, which sounds silly. It's hard to understand until you go through it, but if you are, just realize that they are all thoughts. Your brain is more powerful than anything. YOU control your thoughts, they don't control you. Don't dwell on things. It's easier said than done, but live in the present moment. Memento Mori, you will die. That applies to whatever you're going through as well. It will NOT last. It will go away. Embrace whatever it is, don't fight it. Accept it and grow on it. Don't look for a quick answer, look for patience and focus on the long-term process.
I was thinking about writing a comment under this video but I couldn’t have put it better myself with what you’ve put here buddy, felt the exact same for a while in terms of covid and the current climate but really couldn’t come to terms with why my mind was so set on creating anxious thoughts. Definitely going to start using the phrase more, feels like I’ve already had a small weight lifted just understanding it a bit more!
@@TreFlip278 For sure man, just know you're not alone and that it happens to everyone at one point. Just take it day by day and understand that it is a process. Here's some tips that have helped me out a TON on getting better. 1) Go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day (have a general daily routine as well), 2) If you feel it coming on, accept it and focus on breathing/or meditate. 3) Occupy your mind, an empty mind is the devil's playground.
@@TheThoo Appreciate the help, definitely going to give the advice a go!
Exactly and so what if any of us die cuz of COVID? Nonetheless life is just a journey and it can potentially end any time. There is not an absolute right way to live life and really nothing to be scared about. We are all life long learners too. Embrace in the beauty of this world really, there's such a limited amount of time to be fearful of anything, as you can literally be fearful for your whole life. Therefore be fearless, be an explorer, be a learner, utilize your limited time to go on a seamless and never-ending exciting adventure of life.
happens to everyone ur not alone. go outside get some exercise and some sun and keep busy
"I am not here to make you a better sociopath" is my new favorite quote of yours.
To me, Memento Mori means maintaining your level-headedness at all times - in both good times and in bad. It means not getting too high in good times and not getting too low in bad times. Of course, we're all human and it is human to feel and express emotions. However, memento mori helps keep those emotions in check ✅️
🙏💞💕
A year later. I still go back to this when I’m in a funk!
14:06
"Ma flesche (asseure toy) n'espagnera personne
Vous danserez trestout ce balet, que je sonne"
= "My arrow (rest assured) won't hit anyone,
You'll dance aplenty in this ballet, which I am ringing." (i.e. as in a doorbell).
Ryan I just want to say I think these lessons are really great. Few are both knowledgeable and bold enough to read Meditations. If I may, I would like to add to lesson 6: Cherish your Loved Ones. I recently lost someone that I knew very well, but would not necessarily consider a "loved one." She was an ex-girlfriend turned friend, and through 5 years of knowing her, I just sort of started taking her for granted. After her loss, I was deeply saddened, WAY more than I'd expected (more than some of my other family members).
What I learned is that first, this is not limited to just family, it can be any connection. Connections are all we have in life, and it can be so easy to take someone for granted. Second, it's very possible your conscious mind doesn't know how impactful this connection really is, so be grateful for their existence, even if you feel mad at them. Third (from other deaths as well), the way a person dies, as in the when and the how, greatly impacts that person's legacy, and possibly even unfairly.
Also Lesson 8, on reading, I would add watch UA-cam everyday. There is so much to gain from this majestic technological improvement to life. Some books may provide more value upon reading them, but is it so crazy to think that watching a well-designed visual summary would be more beneficial to one's life than wrestling with a work such as Faust? If the person is artistic (and fluent in German), then perhaps not, but there's always the element of life practicality, a key priority for stoics.
I’m going through a hard time right now and Been watching some of your videos. And I’m starting to feel that in my path in life I’ve found the answer i was looking for
Yesterday, my rational mind triumphed over my anxiety and my impulsive desire to quit. 5 minutes in I was still numb. 15 mins in I was focused. 2 hours later I was empowered. #Stoicism
Omg.. my tribe.. I’m a Stoic.. I get this on such a deep level ❤
Been feeling really lost lately and this made me feel so much better thank you dude. You got a new subscriber
i feel the same. GReetings and i wish you will find your goal.
same
Momento mori
Today was a rough day. Starting late December I started reading first thing in the morning (even if just one page) qnd writing in my journal (even if just one sentence). My mood and outlook improved immensely.
This morning I had a shitty sleep. I think I have covid (entire family has it) and slept like shit and woke up feeling worse.
I was able to succeed- some reading and journaling done today.
Some months ago I realised that Im following, or better internalised, stoicism without even knowing what it was and videos like this help me to convey the message to people around me easier. It helped me understand myself more than ever.
How do you convey the message to other people around you?
Me too! Now I'm purposely learning
I haven't found a youtube channel,I found pure gold 🥇 thank you man ❤️❤️
3:51 even walking on the treadmill inside will stuimulate problem solving/thinking!
I will listen this video everyday to make changa✔️
I've recently picked up reading, and it's a great habit! I love learning and I can't believe I hadn't been reading before now.
5:28 "I'm not here to make you a better sociopath" 🤣🤣
Thank you so much for valuable advice,Ryan.
Merry Christmas Ryan and family, thanks for all the work you do!
Finding this video a year after it came out... but still juat as excited to implement these teachings
Little changes everyday leads to bigger progress than most people can even fathom. Most adults have an hour in the evening they could devote to something or anything everyday and over a year or five or twenty you could literally master an entire subject or learn countless new skills or learn new things about yourself and family. Never discount what can be done easily when spread over a lifetime
I literally thought about getting into journaling yesterday. Today, I stumbled upon this video and the first thing mentioned in the video is journaling. crazy
I certainly hope this man lives a long and bright life
My favorite part is when he says he leaves his phone at home and just walks and it cuts to him walking and holding his phone.
Practical measures utilising stoic philosophy
Thank you for your energy sharing this it has changed my life. David Jenson chicago
I'm already thinking all this and trying most of this. I really ❤️ all this.
Thank you so much, this is so inspiring and underrated, definitely deserves much more views
You, Joe Rogan , and Jordan Peterson, and a couple more have really saved my life and helped me change my minds yet to help change my habits in life. One day I hope to meet each one of you and give my gratitude in person. Thank you!
2 out of 3 of those that you mentioned are not very good, buddy. Be careful
@@ItsYaBoi888 They are all fantastic! I can't thank enough for their contributions to society.
@@davidpowell3469 good advice. I'll live my life, not anyone else's. I respectfully decline to follow Rogan or Peterson or any other person claiming to be experts at something they are not.
@@ItsYaBoi888 because the mainstream media told you so?
Are you aware Neil Young's music is part owned by the former pfizer chairman/ceo...?
Does that not flicker any little light bulbs in your head?
@@ItsYaBoi888 Wrong and slanderous.
The title of your video made me chuckle. You actually think that the future is looking bright and we all have a long and fulfilling life to look forward to. I wish I could live with my head in the sand. Best of luck. 🍻✌️🇨🇦
Truly inspiring....truly. Thank you for taking the time to share this sir. This hit home and I am taking action 💪
Thanks for making this world a better place Ryan!!
Powerful. Thank you for your channel!
I came to know you few days ago. You changed the way i look at life immensely. Thanks a lot. I love your character your voice and the way you present your thought.❤😇👌
Thanks Ryan. You’re so inspiring to me
Your videos and books are incredible. Thank you

Thanks again for the high quality of this videos and obviously for this great wisdom, stoicism is one tool that can help us to live in this modern society, anxiety, fear, all of this obstacles that we face, need to be faced with stoicism, thanks for this amazing work Ryan.
Was really feeling down and I saw this video in my recommendations. The memento mori part hit

Thank you Ryan, the best way to start 2022!
What a kind drop,, on this day thank you
Thanks for this Ryan!
I love this Ryan, you’re brilliant
Perfect timing! I'm glad I watched this
Running definitely helps. Being outdoors for a couple of hours each day can improve sleep habits. It help me
Thank you Ryan
I love how you are always surrounded by books. I’m the same.
Anyone here, what are your thoughts on Kindle? To me my books are like being in a garden. Curious about other feelings in this Information Age.
The stoic life creates advantageous living, stay strong and hard
I heard a saying one time that always stuck with me and it turns people off because they think its morbid but I had no idea about the actual philosophy that backs it up....the saying was "dont take life too seriously, nobody makes it out alive anyway"
Bless you Ryan for sending this profound wisdom to me ❤🙏🏼, I needed it so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great video, very powerful, something I really needed to hear at this point in my life.
Thank you.
