- Stoicism is a school of philosophy that hails from ancient Greece and Rome. Stoicism is a philosophy of life that maximizes positive emotions, reduces negative emotions and helps individuals to hone their virtues of character.
If you got interested in stoicism I would recommend starting with these books:

Q😊😊😊😊😊😊
“Anyone who can make you angry, becomes your master”
Never have I heard such a truer quote in my life.
It's such a simple yet powerful quote
Like most of them to be fair
petween equals sure but against a God for how long a minute...a hour it depends on the game...rage is a tool...its a fool but its useful get stuck in a cage with a wrathful hungry lion and no matter how smart you are your going too be food then see who wins the game of life🎯$
Me, neither. This is the most relatable quote to me. Needed that.

There is no good reason to believe gods exist.
"Pain is inevitable. To suffer is a choice."
This is another new quote to me, and it is not even mentioned in the video. I would rather go through more pain than to keep on suffering.
Yes, how we handle pain and the choices we make to deal with pain, differentiates from one another....
Yes, our response to the pain can be different, but if we are inwardly feeling pain and outwardly showing, we are ok, then aren't we just pretending we are fine when really we are in fact suffering the pain but just not going on about it.
@@abrarsutube 'To suffer is a choice' Doesn't mean to hide your pain away. Pain is pain, all understand that. But suffering is not linked with pain intrinsically. Yes, you can suffer through pain, but you can also suffer without pain, or have pain without suffering. Stoicism argues that suffering is a choice, because through the shifting of perspective, any pain can be endured without suffering. And, as there is no suffering, there is no place for anguish, only for the fruits of life.
One can be in pain every breath they take, yet still enjoy life. Pain is only the stimulus, your response is up to you. Showing pain can be done, but if you are not suffering there is no point. If you are suffering however, and you have tried everything to be rid of it you reasonably could on your own, seek help.
With a cut, you go to the doctor, with failing eyesight you go to the Ophthalmologists and for mental suffering you go to a philosopher ; ). Or a professional psychiatrist. Either way, there is nothing prohibiting you from seeking relief from suffering, stoicism is only trying to make you immune to it through rigid rationalisations on your place in the uncertainty of the world. Granting people a clear path of good characteristics one can strive to integrate to slowly and painstakingly forge themselves anew.
This is the apex of Buddhist teachings.
Buddhism, not the "mindfulness" garbage we are sold everyday through endless webinars and videos of course, is a very stoic way of living, demanding the practitioner to not let itself fall into Mara (Evil, or Temptation) and thus, falling into the bottomless pit that is Suffering. Only through Love, Compassion and Trascendence of inappropiate behaviours and emotions we are truly capable of being happy with absolutely nothing. Just being happy and doing what you have to do.
A Stoic is someone who transforms fear into prudence, pain into transformation, mistakes into initiation, and desire into undertaking.

“Whatever can happen at any time can happen today” -Seneca
This is a REALLY good one.
That thing that you’ve been thinking of doing and you’re waiting for the “right time”
There is no right time. The only time is now seize the day as it is.
Carpe diem
Big facctsss! Also take the same quote and utilize negative visualization. You could have cardiac arrest at anytime, even today. You can wreck your car anytime, etc.. The point of negative visualization is not to succumb to it, but to appreciate that you still have today! and just like you said, stop waiting for the ''Right time'' Seize it! like tate says, "Attack! Conquer!"
"Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life" - Marcus Aurelius
Great quote! 👍
So live in a perpetual state of fear
@@PetraKann That means we must live joyfully and experience things! :) So, we don't regret being alive.
@@whitecrow20XX It means- at least to me- to love, respect and be kind to everyone, including what you call "animals".
memento mori
Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2
"We suffer more often in imagination than in reality".~ Stoic
I loved this quote as well. I did suffer more in my imagination than in reality.
He who makes you angry becomes your master, keep an untroubled spirit and remember them for what they are - great quote
0:33
Marcus Aurelius was the Roman emperor.
He could have done anythings he wanted to do, evils and yet he remained grateful for his life, and what he has.
He wrote these words only for himself. Not everyone can do this. He is a true philosopher.
Compare him to what that power did to lesser men like Caligula and Nero
@@Metaphix your comment... there's philosophy in it! It's a fact!
Im not even european but man that Marcus person drop some epic advice, a great men follow his own word and he's the proof that someone really do it. Why can't we have leader at that caliber right now when the world need it. No wonder he's an Emperor

You are lucky that you dont have kids, the love for kids are 10 times stronger than spouse.

"Welcome events in whichever way they happen: this is the path to peace." - Epictetus.
Great quote for those of us who still have regrets on every choices we've made in life ❤️
Correct
I learned a lot from this video . I admire the way they sought harmony, balance, and peace in themselves and in society.
"If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person."
-Seneca
"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."
What sets this video apart is its ability to distill complex Stoic philosophy into practical life lessons that are relevant to men of all ages. Your insights into topics like resilience, self-discipline, and emotional intelligence provide a roadmap for personal growth and fulfillment.
Furthermore, your delivery strikes the perfect balance between introspection and inspiration. By sharing personal anecdotes and reflections, you connect with viewers on a deeper level, making the lessons feel not only relatable but also achievable.

Your video serves as a powerful reminder to prioritize what truly matters in life and to cultivate a mindset of strength and virtue.
My hole live I was taught to go to church to become a better man. After decades I realised that religion (and a lot of other circumstances) made a hurt soul out of me.

Its never to late to change, as long as you are alive. Stoicism is the way of wisdom and it's teaching's have been around long enough, to prove they work.
“Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.”
Please do more Stoicism! 🙏🏻 I love listening to this at work
I thought I was the only one who listens to stoic quotes while working. Good to know others do it too. I even workout to this stuff. Its just so thought provoking and has an incredible effect on my mood.
I've only recently gotten into philosophy after challenging theistic thought, and stoic philosophy has really brought up my spirits since I discovered it. I love listening to audio books at work and these quotes and books on philosophy have improved my quality of life without the need of more.
I do the same. It works like magic!
Only been listening to this channel for a few days but, it has changed my thinking a lot, thank you ❤
“Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34
"Anyone who can make you angry becomes your master"
Marcus Aurelius...best by far in dishing out words of wisdom!! Countless countless quotes and ideas I live by. My favorite here 8:50. I've seen some crappy stuff and been in some sticky situations and never once did anything I'm ashamed of. Even when in the company of people who didn't have my best interest in mind and tried to persuade me to do things not me. I always stayed true to myself and can look back not with regret but with a lesson learned and stronger mindset. You don't make mistakes in life, you learn and teach yourself hands-on :)
Stoicism has changed me and my life for the better no matter what they say about it
My ex-boyfriend (30 years+) shared that I "always seemed happy with my little piece of nothing".
So glad I have.
I'm beyond blessed.
These quotes became alive when I was in utter darkness. Thank you souls of the past . Our fathers and mother's of time
An excellent collection and wonderful rendition. I love listening it more often. I made it my favourite with an intention to listen it at regular intervals -Thank you so much for bringing this to us. Warm Regards - Balaji - Sydney - Australia
The lessons on maintaining an untroubled spirit, facing challenges head-on, and cherishing every moment remind us of the power we possess over our own lives. It's a poignant reminder to prioritize self-mastery and resilience.
Wow... Truly amazing.. Excellent reminders of who we truly are 🙏❤️
It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. That one hit hard

Beautiful, earnest ways of living thoughtfully, articulated millennia ago.

No man is free who is not a master of himself...❤
My grandfather was a man of principle and virtue. I’m a female and he never taught me any of these but showed it through his actions. So in a sense, I live by many of his principles. He influenced me without enforcing anything. ❤
Amazing!! What a master!!
This is the perfect voice and tone for stoic audio books. Any plans to do audio books?
Blessed those who's has ears can hear ,eyes can see,,🎯🎯🎯
Thank you kindly for the knowledge shared! 🤓😮😲

Note to self: Pick a path and MOVE!
Stoicism is a practical way of life.
We can learn so much from this philosophy.
"Don’t explain your philosophy. Embody it." -Epictetus
the dangers i found in stoicism is that you can become like a ticking bomb where all the pain/anger you tolerate might explode
It’s not what happens to you but how you react is what matters 👌

"When I wake up in the morning, I am thinking of my job. When I go to sleep at night, I am thinking of it. And all those hours in-between, I am thinking how the hell do I escape?"
These quotes comfort me and make me feel like I was never alone as I assumed I am. There are many on the same road as I'm on and knowing we all are striving to find ourselves, somehow makes me feel like I belong somewhere, the human kind. Wish you all a favorable path ahead of you, lads. :)
Thank you for this one. Keep doing the good work!
Thank you we do have power over our minds and control our sadness if we chose.
Thanks for share. His Voice is Golden.

“Look, you’ve got it all wrong! …You don’t NEED to follow ANYBODY! You’ve got to think for your selves! You’re ALL individuals!” Brian, circa 30 AD.
"Let us, like Him, hold up one shoe and let the other be upon our foot, for this is His sign, that all who follow Him shall do likewise."
The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury… Great man, Glorious Marcus Aurelius..
These are amazing 💯
I want an audiobook with this kind of voice.
To learn the difference is calming
Is there a Spotify podcast for this? If not, you should have one!
"Our like is what our thoughts 💭 make it ".

Great video
"Anyone who can make you angry, becomes your master."
That seems really relevant today. It seems like most people spend all their time staring into their phones pissed off all the time. Social media companies know if they keep people angry, they will stay on the site longer and engage more, which equals more profits. Social media has become most people's master.
Gotta love Marcus Aurelius' quotes
Thank you godfather for the experiencess 😊
this channel is beyond words.
but maybe this comes close - i think i am in love with you ; ) thank you : )
blessings to you and yours
Beautiful! Thank you
