Picked it up at 61. Glad to hear that other people benefit. There is some external validation for ya!!
"I respect myself too much to chase after, or beg for attention"
Words to live by.
This was one of my new years resolutions.....I refuse to beg anyone to hang out with me. If u can't make time for me, then I have no time for you. If I text someone 2 or 3 times and they can't text me back within 2 to 3 days, then I lose their number. You will lose people, but at least you will finally know who is true to you and who is only there for you when it's convenient and beneficial for them.
Been living by it 13 years now
@@VitalityLifeFitness One of my friends has ghosted me for two days and I sent them a message and just said it’s odd that you’ve completely ignored me but I also told them good night and turn my phone off!
Breaking it with adds completely defeated it's purpose 😒😑
Truth 👍
The saddest thing is that many people will settle with someone who doesn’t value them out of fear of being alone. I am speaking for myself as well. I stayed in a long painful marriage out of fear of being alone. It took me 19 yrs to realize my own worth and self respect. Since I walked away, I have practiced Stoicism and have learned not to live with anger or hurt because other’s don’t see my value. The only validation I need is my own. It has made me such a powerful individual and I am so much happier. I am single but I still have hope that someday, the right person will come. Sending love and peace to everyone. ❤✌️
Glad you got out. My relationships have not lasted more than 4 years. As soon as I see it's not working I'm out 😂. On my own too and loving it.
I am 63 I have lived 10 years toxic relationship,my partner belittle me and stab my back behind me I don't talk much all know to my partner hate me every thing is locked. Advice please.
I stayed married 24 years very unhappy. My husband was never there for me., he was only there to put my children against me! He poisoned them, and now I don't think they like me! I am very sad! I don't know how much I can cope with this terrible! Anxiety is killing me!🥲🥲🥲
its not fear. you go a year without having someone to talk to laugh. its not fear its something else

Excellent one!
Walking 🚶♂️ 🚶♂️ 🚶♂️
@ChrissyWearBear, I am a mother, and I would never walk away from my children, 3 out of 4 of mine chose to walk away from me. No explanation, and for those of you who say to me “there is a reason and you know what it is “ You are wrong, because I have no clue. My son and daughter in law who are still in my life love me enough, so I don’t know why. I refuse to involve my son in this situation, but he does say that they are Passive Aggressive cowards who are just afraid to talk to their mother and tell her why they are angry. I have always had open communication with all of my children and they have never been afraid to talk to me about anything before. I used to be extremely upset and sad about them not talking to me, but I did start studying Stoicism. My entire perspective changed and I am happy to say that I am ok now. Stoicism has taught me how to really think about situations and people, and my place in this world in general. I now know my purpose. Like I said, I would never walk away from my children, but they chose to walk away from me and I will respect their decision. I wish them well.
*you're 😉
The amount of ghosting and rejection with dating in today's modern time is absolutely horrific. If you are single and trying to date, you WILL face ghosting and rejection and you need to start learning these stoic practices to not go down a landslide of emotion.
Yeh and that’s what brought me here… it’s disgusting so have decided to remain single and make friends!
Indeed, I too have had my share and it's heartbreaking.
I'm a widow, & after 35 years of being in a couple, it's a shock to have to be single again, & facing today's dating culture. 😱 Men are so manipulative, cold & indifferent. If you're single, & past a certain age, they all presume that you've done something wrong.
It’s true. Only a fool dates nowadays. I WAS a fool. Not worth the inevitable breakdown from a monkey brancher’s betrayal.
@@coco8386My brother married a widow and said she is great. She knows a man and how to nurture a relationship.
To whoever is reading this, I wish you well and hope that the struggles you're enduring now will transform into significant accomplishments. Always keep in mind that God is constantly with us, offering His blessings, guidance, and protection.
Amen thank you
Thank you.
Amen

At the age of 60 I began practicing Stoicism, at the age of 62, I’ve NEVER been happier. Invaluable & life changing. 😊
Wow! Me too it change my life too I'm so glad becuse I truly need it
I'm 55 and just starting the journey of stoicism. So far, the journey has been good to me but difficult to maintain. I shall continue forward! Thanks for sharing!
@@richardsoto278 Richard, for sure stay with it. You will feel an amazing shift in your life & well being, and it will become second nature to you.

thank you
After so many years of giving the best of me and suffering for yrs at 65 yrs of age I decided to stay alone and I’m free
Am 43 yo this year.
Always been rejected or ghosted. Too tired of negative mind or vibes from toxic people's.
So I just walk away, move on, live my life and focusing on myself. Hopefully someday , some year maybe... I might meet my soulmate ..
the amount of ghosting and rejection with dating in todays modern time is absolute horrific. if you are single and trying to date you WILL face ghosting and rejection.
@@Anleifr unfortunately🥺😵💫
What i can’t understand rose is that we only have 1 life we don’t know what tomorrow may bring …why can’t people just live with love and respect every one regardless of what they are
@@JulioPaulino-w6d maybe nowadays people's become more selfish, looking for materialistic & fun only. They don't care about people's feeling. Oh well, I prayed everyone that has been hurt, been in toxic relationship may find love and happiness in whatever they do in career, holidays, in a person who loved them deeply.
I think there's someone's who loveable and accept our worth out there yet rare and hard to find.
@@JulioPaulino-w6d because the Western modern society has crumbled the family unit and traditional values. Men and women both want to party and have sex in their 20's, not get married and have children and then when they finally do decide to get married and have children they want a divorce right after so they can go back out playing the field. This has destroyed traditional dating, throw in the dating apps where people just want to be validated and no true real connection and everyone now just ghosts everyone left and right, no values whatsoever.
This video had me ugly crying.
I had to stop it a few times to collect myself, and go on.
I was raised in a rather… not so good… way. My mother is a covert narcissist and she destroyed the blossom of my self-esteem before it even had the chance to sprout. Her cruelties have shaped me into an absolute wreck of anxiety, depression, and people pleasing that has left me a husk of a woman who has suffered so deeply for the happiness and approval of others.
If I had a father growing up who had said these words to me, things would have turned out so differently.
I’m turning 43 in April, and have just suffered the silence of yet another rejection. Each one hurts more than the last, since my mother beat an anxious attachment style into me at the ripe old age of 8. All my life, it’s been, “See? I can take such good care of YOU. YOUR happiness is all that matters. I can only be happy if YOU are happy. If YOU aren’t happy, you’ll leave. I’ll do anything to take care of YOU.” My needs just didn’t matter… they never have.
Thank you so much for making this video. In this half hour, you brought so much comfort to my battered inner child… I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this. Dunno if you’ll actually read my comment, but I thought I’d post, anyhow.
Liked and subscribed.
Thank you again.
-a less frightened bunny
You are a winner to have made it so far, despite the challenges in your life. Remember to use the wisdom in this video to put your needs first before taking care of others. Then you will grow in strength and confidence, and will hopefully feel better. Best wishes for the future.
That was so kind of you to say… many thanks, and I hope your life is filled with blessings. 🕊️
Thank you!
@EarthenCavy I wish you a very HAPPY birthday in April! I hope it will be a new beginning for you, a re-birth, a fresh start, forgetting about the past mistakes others have made because they couldn't do or be any better.
Lots of love to you, you did an amazing self work ❤️
The day you put limits on giving your love and attention to those that don’t reciprocate or value is the day your life will change.
👏👏
That's today! 👍
From today onward i believe i will live free
Rejection is protection and redirection.
Love that!
Yesssss
Thank you!!
Powerful advice i'm going through this
@6:00 "What once seemed like rejection was actually indeed a push towards a more rewarding path!" 😊❤️😍
I always say, while rejection hurts, it is a protection. You may have dogged several bullets that you didn’t know were coming your way. 😢😮😅😊
Literally
There's no where else i can find this kind of motivation
It has taken so long for me to realize that the path to peace is not by being accepted by others but by getting to know and accept myself. Rejection is painful until you accept yourself. Be kind to yourself, build yourself up and love yourself. It is a miracle that we are here so don’t let anyone take that away from you. Pain demands our attention but get out in nature and breath it all in relief will come. If you can only sit watch nature from your window or on the tv and take long deep breathes…try to get fresh air and sun whenever you can. Nature is our best friend because it has the power to heal us…one day at a time.
❤❤❤
@patriac awww I ❤️ the last sentence about nature! 😔
No response IS a response!
Sometimes, it’s the best response.
I'm 77 my daughter has cut me off and i don't know why but i don't have 15/20 years to wait. The pain is simply awful. I have been left alone and vulnerable. I used to think when someone became old family and would step up, it seems in this world that no longer applies (in my case at least)
Im so sorry to hear that. Big hug from scotland x
And at the opposite end of things, my mother cut me out of her life as I tried to help her multiple injuries. She chose a “friend” to be her support system. I still don’t know why she rejected me for the last 15 years other than as she said she was closer to her “friend”than me. I’ve gone silent mode and trying to look toward the future with hope of peace.
I’m so sorry to hear, I hope that she sees sense one day. Affirm each day that you are worthy of unconditional love 🫶🏻…, my brother took my niece and nephew away from me and I have no kids, no partner…. And throughout my life has been sabotaging relationships with all my other family members. I learned to get by on my own even with low self esteem and self doubt I’ve managed to come out at the end and find a new life
I'm sorry you are going through this. My daughter did same.
Have you asked her why?
I got completely ghosted by someone I thought was a good friend. It hurt but I'm slowly moving on.
I have had the same experience this past year. We can learn and rise above it. Best wishes.
were you always complaining, talking sht about people, lying, giving backhanded compliments or negative to be around? Most people don’t wanna be around people like that and you’re highly unlikely to be ghosted if you’re a good person to be around
@@dlouise64 That's not true. I ghosted a friend once, and she was a good person, but she kept going back to her x who had abused her. I couldn't cope as I had had a similar x but I was determined to heal. I found it hard. Also, I had a job and two children and she had one child and no job and all in all, my time was taken up with my children when I wasn't working. She expected quick replies to her texts. It was I now realise my own inability to communicate my needs to her that lead to my ghosting her in a panic. I was overwhelmed and triggered, but she was a good person and I feel sad about the loss of a friendship which could if I'd had better communication skills been saved.
Friends don’t ghost without a reason. Think about what u did or said
@@SusanaXpeace2u "She expected quick replies to her texts" so she was annoying then?
Stoicism has been a game changer for me! I'm much more calmer and patient cause i don't let my temper get the best of me! I also don't automatically give my joy over to ANYONE anymore🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️❤️💓💓
🙌🏾👏🏾
I am 74 and it's never to late to learn and change.Thank you.❤
👏👏👏👏
I have suffered so much rejection, disappointment and accusations...,I am happy there is a way out of this negatities
Excellent philosophy. After 30 years of constant betrayal, mocking, scorning, rejection, and ridiculing, i have found myself to have adopted a lot of these values subconsciously to adapt to my environment. For you young folks listen to this and exercise it, it will save you a lot of heart ache.
So instead of chanhing yourself to be a better person you just decided to take the lazy way out and accept yourself as who you are? Well whatever works for you
@@Jennijennijenni That's exactly what adapting to one's environment means. Making necessary changes to survive, and in my case i've thrived. Thanks for the advice tho, now here's one for you. Learn to read between the lines before posting dumb shit on the internet.
Thanks
@@Yut00bisSUS scorned?.wt? 😱 I'm glad you have made it out of that terror! 🥰
@@Katrica670 Same here, thanks. When your older sibling paints you out to be an enemy you tend to experience some petty shit.
5:57 rejection is a push to a more rewarding path.
Absolutely....the best to you ! ✨️💖
Yeah i realized that I was going to miss my goal if I had stayed with that person
'Rejection is a push towards a more rewarding path' amazing
🎉
I send each of you peace and happiness in all your journeys. Reading everyone’s comments has given me so much comfort and insight.
I’ve been trying so hard to achieve inner peace and strength amidst devastating rejections and losses as of late. It makes sense hearing, but the putting of stoicism into practice is immeasurably difficult. Will stay the course, and continue the path. Here’s to others who might be in the same situation. Stay strong, and work on yourself as best you can. Let’s achieve what looks impossible in 2024. Good journey, friends.
May I suggest you incorporate Mindfulness into your practice? Actual Mindfulness, though, like Jon Kabat-Zinn's work. Good luck my friend with the journeys the roads you choose to travel will take you.
I have recently experienced such rejection. It is a constant, deliberate effort to practice stoicism. It gets better with faithful, heartfelt practice. The pain dimes and the anxiety calms.
Rest assured, this can be achieved. And, do maintain your privacy and not be deterred. Good rest, good faith, good wishes. In JESUS name, you are blessed going forward.
Don’t try just be. have you read the book the power of now by Eckhart Tolle?
I'm experiencing this now. Being ignored purposely by a supervisor. It's very nice to know that I don't have to do anything. I value myself and I don't play office games. I'm learning how to be the best version of myself. I am grateful for rejection. ❤
I am grateful. This video found me when I most needed it. Until last night I was the fixer always trying to seek dialogue. Today I embrace stoicism. “I respect myself too much to chase after or beg for attention.” I am resetting and recalibrating 🙌🏽
Thank you for naming that about the fixer seeking dialogue. I am the same way & it was very upsetting to me that the people I live with are not the same. Practicing stoicism is helping me ground into my own life & detach from how others choose to live.
My health went up significantly even within a week of leaving her. This observation makes it easier to resist the temptations to reconnect.
Should be taught in elementary school and reviewed again in highschool. Great advice
I have been listening for four days and i have learned to step away ,to be calm in my response and to be honest ....i am feeling much better today...😊😊
I’M SO HAPPY TO BE FREED ‼️ I THOUGHT I HAD SOMEONE, BUT HE WAS NEVER GOOD FOR ME 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾‼️
I respond very calmly in the moment , but because I am often shocked when I get invalidated or rejected, as soon as I get a chance I need to retreat, lie down and recover privately for an hour or two.
This is such a wonderful, positive way to deal with narcissistic discard. Thank you!
YES! THIS!
At age of 66 my wife passed away....my children have ostracized me due them thinking I had an affair some 40 years ago.. I m dealing with rejection now and focusing on my self worth in personal growth
Pray the Rosary my friend. It helps. You are not alone. We're all in it together. 😁
9:43 I'm sorry. sharing truth is n in love to others I hope you find grace freedom n love
❤
Stoicism is the perfect antidote to the narcissistic attention seeking behavior of social media
Im reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Its life changing. I feel that ppl like me exist.
I have listened to this at least 20 times and see no end in sight. This is extremely needed right now in my life. Thank you for this wonderful video.
According to stoicism, the only thing that truly deserves our respect is virtue, and the only thing that can harm us is vice. Therefore, we should not respect people who lack virtue or display vice, regardless of their status, wealth, power, or popularity. Here are nine examples of such people:
The liar, who deceives others and himself, and loses trust and credibility.
The coward, who runs away from challenges and difficulties, and misses opportunities for growth and improvement.
The unjust, who violates the rights and interests of others, and creates conflict and resentment.
The intemperate, who indulges in excesses and pleasures, and neglects his health and duties.
The greedy, who is never satisfied with what he has, and always wants more and more.
The arrogant, who thinks he is better than everyone else, and looks down on others.
The ignorant, who does not seek knowledge and understanding, and remains in error and confusion.
The angry, who lets his emotions get the better of him, and acts impulsively and violently.
The envious, who resents the success and happiness of others, and feels miserable and bitter.
These nine people do not deserve our respect, because they are not living according to nature and reason. They are harming themselves and others, and they are missing the true good of life, which is virtue. We should not imitate them, nor admire them, nor fear them. Instead, we should try to be virtuous ourselves, and respect those who are. That is the stoic way of living.
Don't we all have a bit of these traits in ourselves too? Or are we holyer than thou?
Mic 🎤 Drop
So, we shouldn't respect anyone then. Lol, which in today's world seems feasible.
One of the most valuable videos for me in a very long time. I take dance classes and one woman has rudely declined to dance with me. I did not respond back to this behavior but the rejection has been bugging me for several days. After watching the video I now have a new perspective on the situation. I will practice polite avoidance with this woman. There are many other women to dance with in the class.
Sorry that happened to you, hope you are still enjoying dance class!
There are over 8 billion people in the world; Not one of them has the power or influence to diminish my worth, unless I allow them the authority to do so.
I used to be so sensitive to rejection but at this point in my life, I just turned 60 in July. I realize I’m a good friend to all un. Try to do my best so it’s actually the other person loss.! my grandmother told me something when I was very young, and I always followed it when somebody would do this ghosting thing even as a child she say, don’t you dare knock on their door let them in their own juices! They always knock on my door and came back lol! As long as you like your own company, you’re good to go
I am age 56 and just learning about stoicism and I truly believe this is road to my destination of change
I had to listen to it twice! Don't let anyone poison your mind!
I've been practicing stoicism all my life without realizing it. Just hearing about it threw these videos. Thanks it's good to hear I did something rite. Very Interesting. Thanks so much.
Funny how I have been called a "cold bi7ch" a label I found hilarious. I thought I must be doing something good. I credit my upbringing. I have had good examples from my late parents. They didn't have an active social life but life has not been troublesome, which is what many could only wish for. 👍
Me too
I was rejected,ignored by my inlaws,they disliked my kids and could tell my husband bad things about me,people I lost weight,I cried morning,afternoon, evenings, nights as they wanted my man to divorce me and as I was reading a certain book it was for astoism,really my life changed and do you want these people now ask my husband how am I with my kids yet me now am focusing on life and family,how they treated me badly but time and astoic heals
❤❤
This is so fabulous! Thank you God for sending this to me. I needed it!
I needed to hear this more than ever, got rejected last week and hearing this has taken a little bit of the hurt away and made me remember who I am. Keep up the good work
Hugs. Same thing happened to me. Fugg them people. We love ourselves
Me too. We can get through it!
Thanks God I found this. I’ve always thought that to prove we are not affected by rejection we need to keep interacting with those people pretending that everything is fine although my instinct was always pushing me to be silent.
@22:33 "Understand that your energy is more valuable when invested in places, relationships, and activities that bring you happiness and growth!" ✨️

What a profound philosophy. After enduring 30 years of consistent betrayal, mockery, scorn, rejection, and ridicule, I've unknowingly internalized many of these values to navigate my surroundings. To the younger generation, take heed of this wisdom and incorporate it into your lives-it can spare you from a great deal of heartache
This is excellent and full of truth. I thank God for his Holy spirit and wisdom that has given me this innate sense for most of my life. Albeit, some was learned the hard way and through very emotionally hard circumstances.
This is what we do in serving the Lord God Almighty!

Sometimes STOICISM is there before us and...WE don`t see it. It`all to easy to blame others.Take it and own it. A great e.g.
This could be one of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam in years. There are so many lessons here that can benefit thousands of people. It's outstanding. Thank you.
I have to agree with most of you out there..I'm a better person..better at listening and adjusting my mindset.
I’m here bc I was recently rejected, it’s not as bad as we make it out to be.
Yes, its a skill to be above their games. I CANNOT be controlled- I will NOT comply. I go 180° out. Enjoying my life. If I dont have time for them so be it. I simply move within my interests and freedom to do so. Happy to briefly text them, not obligated to set aside time for them at their meager convenience.
This is heaven sent at a very difficult time of my life! Im blown away by this! Wonderful, just wonderful!!! It's got me off my knees! I want this played at my funeral. In a bar....
Hope that’s many years from now !
Powerful lessons! Embracing rejection fuels growth.💪
I hear it all the time "focus on what makes you happy". But, as a person (and this has ALWAYS been the case) what makes me happy is: a. helping people b. fixing people c. loving people d. devoting myself to someone else. So, by being and staying in toxic relationships where people use me I am technically trying to seek what makes me happy. The only caveat is that I want someone who loves me back and who accepts and values me but I have never been able to find it. So when someone says stop focusing on others, focus on making yourself happy...it doesn't work for someone like me who's happiness is derived from giving to others.
@sugarplum2467, that's like describing me ! 😢 I even flew abroad to take care of him for 3 months . And then, months later ,I am told , " Oh , this long distance is so hard , blah , blah." Suddenly, it hits you - you're valued , respected, cherished , important, loved, etc.....only as long as it serves their purpose . As painful and difficult it is , we have to move on . I am trying not to question the why's, ifs and buts because it only brings heartache but to take it one day at a time and be grateful for the blessings I have been given .
I hope you continue to stay strong. Sending you hugs!
Practice guys, I have thrown in the towel to helping so much and making time for people. Signed up with a gym now and taking care of me and my girls..life sucks but loving and focusing on yourself really does help heal...all the best❤
This is very empowering message. Thank you. ✨️💫
I have had many people in my life use me until I learned to stand up for myself. Sometimes, from family and friends who really knew me best and for whom I sacrificed the most. It broke my damn heart! I wallowed in self-pity for a time and then saw that I must save my self. I picked myself up, loved me with all the flaws and scars and decide that if not now then, when would I put myself first. Forevermore ❤
I’ve been practising stoicism without knowing it through my spiritual teacher… but been in and out if it. Now the information has come back to me after recently being ghosted and I can’t thank you enough. More and more people need to know about this especially those that are good human beings!
I love this philosophy of stoicism. It is self empowering . Your value does not depend on others perception. You know your worth and value. Stoic attitude makes you strong and invincible.
In this day and age I think it's important to let a person know how you feel it's difficult practicing stoicism in the world full of anger 😌
I was in a relationship with someone that did 37 years in prison he was finally found innocent and was released this year .All the phone calls The conversations the things he was going to do when he got out and got his money from being incarcerated and with innocent The things we talked about doing when he got his money all was lies and I'm so angry right now I'm trying to get over it it's so hard.
I am 62 years old my whole life I was taught to be nice and treat your woman as a queen.When I did this the women would say I can't go out with you because you are too nice.I would stay home waiting for the woman to call and they would say oh I made other plans.I am a man of my word if I make plans I do not change them.When my mother was alive she showed up at my apartment and I told her I have plans to go to the bar and she said I know you are a man of your word so I am going to the bar with you.She has never drank alcohol in her whole life and she is going to the bar with me.Priceless
When God said he don't want us to love the world, I believe that she relates 🎉❤😢K
I'm age 34 and I feel I'm just learning the ways of stoicism and strange coincidence this has appeared in my life at just the right time! Look forward to future videos will be following and apply these lessons to my life
Thank you. This video has illustrated my own stoicism following four years of repeated rejection. I am working on me and walk away from situations and people that don’t align with my energy.
I'm learning how to face rejection by women a whole lot better now than I've done before.
Subscribed ..... I say to myself, and I hope this helps anybody that's reading this. It's more important for me to be happy that it is to be alright. I can't tell you how many relationships I destroyed because it was more important for me to be alright and happy. I have consistently done that and I have built up quite a level of self-respect for myself
. PEACE WITHIN........

I am so grateful to have come across this content. It has literally transformed my life completely. This couldn't have come at a better time for me. I am forever grateful. I know my worth, I know what I stand for, and I know what I deserve. #Stoicism
Becoming stoic is a better title. This is wise advice on how to deal with life in general, its a mature mindset. I learned alot from watching my dad.
Know your self worth! ❤️
I discovered Stoicism about twenty years ago, I remember it changing my life. You have to watch the forums though, there’s a lot of newbies trying to act wiser than each other 😂 No matter how much we read our egos aren’t going anywhere it seems! After reading Jung, Nietzsche and Camus I’d say I’m more of an absurdist in outlook but some of the thought-tools Stoicism gives you, I probably rely on more than I realise.
Thank God I am a woman of diversity. I pray earnestly not to judge or close my thinking because I'm a Christian. I really walk alone because of my difference and knowing I was meant to soar, not be caged in.. Thank you 🎉❤
ive been taking this stuff seriously and my people skills been blowing through the roof.
This is the best Stoic video I have seen so far. Thank you so much. I am on my second reading of "The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius" and it is my favorite book of all time.......Sal : )
Thanks for naming the Meditation. I will read.
Very effective truths. They should be shared with youth,who are so often vulnerable in terms of issues with insecurities and lack of self esteem.. many benefits from these classic,very rational truths. Thank you. Well narrated.
Thanks for the important teaching. I believe my need for external validation stems from a distant and critical father. After my father passed 15 years ago, I noticed a higher level of self -determination. But I still occasionally trip up in the old patterns and give beyond balance and seek returns. Well it doesn't always work and the sting of rejection triggers the insight into the situation. Walking away, either in silence or maybe with some brief closure, rebalances my emotions and redirects my energy in a more rewarding and constructive direction.
I only recently realize ive been on this path most my life i have so fortunate to have surrounded by the greatest people all my life i connot express how lucky i am in every way its to big a story to tell .i only never new i have been imursed in a world of stoaic masters of wisdom of hummanity,i dont deserve what i have I vow to try to master meaningful wisdom and hopfully pas it on to somone,i have learned and lived all these standards only selfishly i think i understand now ,hear out i can work on living it in a pruductive means
I'm sure if Stoicism was a part of secondary education there would be fewer people struggling with dissatisfaction and mental health later in life.
As with 'Home Ec'
Many are ending it after getting ghosted it’s true
Exactly, instead they teach lqbtq bollox
Great lesson learned. Highly appreciated!
First, find a beautiful, safe and peaceful place and walk, walk, walk. This will help clear your head and let the change begin.
I also have been practicing stoicism for great number of years. I just didn’t realize this process had a name nor that I know that others used this also.!🎉😊
Beautiful wisdom....
I love it....
Good psychology....
Thank you 👍🏻 😊 🙏🏻
Many of these wisdoms also are written in Holy Scriptures, of which we can gain . Many of us already knew a lot and abide by them, but it's never too late to learn.. Brilliance and steadfastly are the minds of STOICM.. Thank you very much in the Heavens.. I am sure he was guided by his powerful mind of GOD.. ❤
This is profound and practical wisdom. I wish I had this channel 30 years ago. It would have saved me a lot of misery and pain. These things are not taught. In this life it is just figure it put as you. But living your life on a set of values and principles with boundaries, as set out for us here, will dramatically improve every aspect of your life.
This video was Everything for me!!! Thank you Thank you! ❤
I am thankful I came across this this video at a time of my life with great sadness and adversity.
I have been exposed to Stoicism different times by watching shorts that align with personal development advice's and have never pursued it with a clear intention. But from today onwards, I am to learn what there is to be learned about this transformative philosophical teacing and become a disciple of it. Thank you for this eye opening video and for the effort you the producer have put in to teach us these invaluable lessons.
These principles ... have helped me to have more peace .. and move to a better place of mind.
Thank you for your content this is helping me through a tough time. I know it works because I've had to do it before and this is wonderful to remind me how to keep things going
So true....I always do this and very effective. Now the all the people rejected me following me. Whatever they do I don't care anymore because I'm busy on my own business ❤❤❤
Rejection can be a blessing in disguise"
