- In this video, we provide an overview of the key teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus that remain deeply relevant today. We explore how Epictetus' emphasis on letting go of attachment leads to inner freedom and resilience, even in the face of adversity.
Epictetus realized over 2000 years ago that it's easy in our busy modern lives to become stressed by chasing things outside our control. He offered practical wisdom on focusing inwardly instead. We summarize his central tenet of differentiating between what we can and cannot control.
By accepting this dichotomy, we can avoid suffering caused by clinging to external things. We outline specific Stoic principles and techniques Epictetus recommended to live virtuously with equanimity, such as letting go of possessions, not depending on others' opinions, accepting rather than resisting reality, focusing on integrity, being present in the moment, taking a higher perspective, and cultivating courage.

You can't do anything and that's OK because you weren't created to. God became man to show us the example where supposed to follow Jesus says if anyone wishes to follow me let him deny himself and take up his cross daily Jesus is closest to us when where suffering not in our accomplishments offer up every suffering in union with christ suffering and he could use that for your dad's soul and you will merit a high degree in heaven and the only person that could give happiness that's unheard off in this earth is God follow christ example and he will give you peace fulfillment and hope in the next life this life will soon come to a end but God is eternal also remember this the kingdom of God is within you God is within your soul so he's never absent you just have to seek him out to get that peace I recommend looking at the book of job in the Bible maybe you could relate also I recommend looking at the saints in the catholic church they were just like us but they set a example for all of us to chase after lasting peace and fullifillment in the love of God God bless you brother I love you so does Jesus and his mother
