    1. The dichotomy of control (some things are up to us, some are not)
    2. The opinion trap (always judging things will leave you miserable)
    3. Beware of anxious abundance (slavery to wealth)
    4. You’re an actor (focus on your own role)
    5. Everything has two handles (control your response to things)
    6. Run your own race (be the best version of yourself, freedom to be yourself)
    7. It’s your sparring partner (embrace challenges and grow from obstacles)
    8. They can’t take your mind (a broken leg is an impediment to the body but not the mind)
    9. Its never going to go your way (wish and accept for things to be the way they are)
    10. Think about death (don’t waste your life because time is limited, enjoy each moment)
    Thanks Ryan! (:

    The advice you give is beneficial. The best advice I found was in the book Meditation for Dummies by Stephan Bodian. This book taught mantra meditation where you recite a mantra in your mind repeatedly and anytime your mind wanders you bring your focus back to reciting the mantra repeatedly. I did this for 45 minutes, 5 days a week for 18 months. I would write out my negative thoughts and come up with a positive mantra that contradicted the negative thinking. I changed my mantra every week and slowly but surely my thoughts began to change and became more positive. Also my thoughts became more calm. Also, this book suggested feeling feelings such as anger, fear, jealousy and pride until they go away rather than suppressing or acting on these feelings. I am an INFP, a dominant feeler, who tried to suppress these feelings for years. When I gave myself permission to feel these feelings until they went away, I was much happier. Also easier to feel feelings until they go away rather than suppressing or acting on them after practicing mantra meditation nearly every day.

    This video was absolutely fantastic! 🧠📚 The way Ryan broke down the Stoic philosopher’s teachings on controlling our responses and focusing on what’s within our power was really eye-opening.
    Epictetus really nails it when he says that we can’t control external events, only our reactions to them. It ties perfectly with the idea of choosing how we respond to life’s challenges. Ryan’s insights on this were both profound and practical, and they’ve got me reflecting a lot on how I handle different situations in my own life.

    Ryan forgot to mention Marcus's brother was always making his life harder and harder as a leader. In that quote Marcus mentions about his brother. It is him explaining of forgiveness. Alot of which is in the Bible. We all must forgive before we pass away from this world. God knows our troubles and our fears. Love is the key. I love life and this past year God has shown me so much and I've studied stoicism for about 2 years now and I can 100% say the bible has so much more philosophy vs what the stoics push. Jesus is king and loves us. Love is the key and Jesus was the greatest stoic ever. ❤

    Enjoyed all this but would be interested in a vid actually focused on the practicalities of money.
    I find many of the stoic philosophers were divorced from the day to day reality of it. Seneca jet-setting off to another one of his villas, be kind to your slaves who do all the day to day work etc.
    For example, easy to say you should be the master of your own time but what if you're working a job you don't like to put food on the table? Do you quit? But stoics don't quit something just because it's hard, right? Do you suck it up for x amount of time, save, then quit? How long? How much?
    Those are the kind of questions the average person is dealing with today. There is a lot of competing priorities outlined in stoicism that might confuse people.

      That’s because rich people would know, right? Poor people haven’t had the chance to find out. If they did, they’d be the rich, right? That logic should be common sense. You can spend your time envying a life you never lived, but it’s a waste because having never lived that life, you don’t know the detail and nuance of it. All you have is fantasy. Think of all the poor people who have won a big lottery. What’s the story we hear repeated? It ruined them. That’s the story we hear repeated. Your logic is like someone saying “jumping off that building and breaking all my bones was not worth it”, then you say “I need to try it for myself”. 🫤

Having money now has given me tremendous freedom. Saying money doesn't give you freedom is completely false. Sure, get to a point in life in which your freedom isn't dictated by how much money you I have, that's a more appropriate thing to say. I have respect for this channel so hopefully it was just to get views. People MONEY CAN GIVE YOU FREEDOM! MONEY, ALSO MAY NOT GIVE YOU FREEDOM! Please don't put negative untruths about money out there. We tell ourselves these kind of things to appease not having money.

    As much as I respect their system of who gets to implement their philosophy sadly for all of them my philosophy works without an exception. Therefore it can be adopted in a way that does not require a secret group of individuals to continue adjusting the scales. The newtonian and Einstein frames are gone. We have been given the gift of "stasis and the defense there off" which has no exceptions. No secret record keepers failing. Just stasis and the defense there of. Now stasis is mathematical, delta B (stasis) == k * -delta S ^2, in our basic model.
    There are six stasis' in a human being, mental emotional psychological physiological intellectual philosophical.
    Which means it's a six body problem, so we have the answer it just hasn't been solved empirically yet. Either way it's a working system.
