    Good old Epictetus, he knew how to be simple and clear and get right to the heart of the issue!

    Do something instead of doing the bad habit.
    Sickness grows in mind
    6:30
    Have a plan when you have the urge of doing something bad.
    8:20
    Don't tell people you about to do something untill you do it.
    Don't share something with everybody.
    10:00
    Excuses is why you fail.
    Never excuse yourself if it's important for you.
    But think of it if it wasn't important would you make excuses.?
    13:00
    Stick to your goals.
    No what people are saying.
    Better have a good environment then a bad one.
    13:55
    Reward yourself for your actions.
    Do a milestone.
    And reward after it yourself.
    15:05
    Those rewards shouldn't hurt you.
    15:30
    Journal yourself.
    And be brutally honest when doing it.
    Release it to the public and do it stoicly
    16:30
    Do ever give up.
    If you say something and you set it. You better make it.
    This is a muscle.
    What molds you is how you keep pushing forward.
    If you go back, and stop pushing yourself forward when you made yourself to aim at that goal
    You are nothing but getting weaker
    18:50
    Take a break and celebrate your goal

    Absolutely loved the scientific explanation about why we fail if we share our goals/resolutions to openly with others!!

    Sometimes I find its ok to share a resolution with one friend so that one friend can keep you in check with your goal.

    And a Happy New Year to you too 🙏. Your words of wisdom, put into video form, and that can be understood clearly, are always thought provoking, to the point, philosophical and very interesting.
    I look forward to viewing and inwardly digesting more from your excellent videos during 2020 ... But, one question please, I see such a close relationship between Stoicism and Buddhism at times, in your opinion, could the latter have influenced the former?
    Thanks for your time and thanks for introducing me to Stoicism ... truly thought provoking. Steve U.K.

    I can't find the source of this quote "If you are once defeated, and say you will get the victory another time, and then the same thing over again, and then the same thing over again, you can be sure that you will at last be reduced to so weak and wretched a condition."... could you share where I can find it? I'm curious to read more...

    The Epictetus guidances for the youngsters in their New Yr 10 rules for the Resolution in order to achieve a better future. But before starting to apply these Guidances,they’ve to learn the basics knowledges in your mindsets. Why? Because without these basics knowledges,U’ll definitely never reaches your destinations. The Basics knowledges are very simple but not easy to follow 1) Disciplines 2) Calmness & Patience 3) Respectfulness 4) Improves educations level & buildups Knowledges 5) Hardworking & don’t easily be influenced. Then whatever Resolutions shouldn’t be a problems in your futures.

    New Year is the worst time to make and then try to keep a resolution.
    You automatically put unnecessary pressure on yourself by trying to make an important change in your life st this time of year.
