Epictetus was a Greek Stoic philosopher. Whats incredible is that He was born a Slave. He lived in Rome until he was banishment, when he then went to Greece for the rest of his life. His teachings were written down and published by his pupil Arrian in his Discourses and Enchiridion.

Currently battling leukemia, these quotes give me power. I’ve read much on stoicism and read meditations by Marcus Aurelius and it has made all the difference throughout my battle between myself and cancer. The only limits we have in this life are the ones we set upon ourselves. If everyday, you do what is necessary and push your possibilities, you will do what you once thought was impossible. Today and everyday I wake up, I do 100 push ups before I leave my bedroom. I returned to school 1.5 years earlier than my doctors thought was possible and have gained 15+ of muscle back despite a tough chemo regiment. Life is a whole lot better if you don’t feel bad for yourself.
@Everyday Stoic I finished my battle with leukemia. A year early too. Your UA-cam channel and stoicism in general has helped me more than any person, medicine, religioun, etc. thank you for making the content that you do. It saved my life and gave me the best mindset. And thank you to everyone who wished me well here.
Man, Keep Strong. You already have an incredible MindSet!
You are the reason I exist. As a medic I live for my patients but especially people like you. Reach out if I can help you in any way. You are a hero.
Incredible mindset! Keep strong

The more I listen and observe the modern "gurus" and the ones that are trying to sell you the "answers and the secrets", the more I realise they borrowed EVERYTHING from the ancient philosophers and old text books.
All philosophers borrow from previous ones
george 0 - you’re spot on, and ignore the comment that all thinkers borrow from others, the real problem is these modern gurus charge money for their plagiarism! blessed are the meek - now send me twenty bucks...
@@RogerDog33 - correct, perhaps plagiarism is the most appropriate word, in this context. Love the ending of your comment though :)
Stephen R Covey talks about this exact topic (albeit indirectly) in the beginning of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Philosophy is like math to me. It can all seem like a ton of different problem, but it really boils down to add or subtract. Or in computer science, a one or zero. In our minds it is “yes” or “no.” We either accept and change productively with tranquility, or resist and suffer painfully. The problem (or remedy) is that there are an infinite amount of ways to word that.
" Asked who is a rich man ,Epictetus replied he who is content ". this is really a true quote.

I don't believe you could get hired at McDonald's with the writing skills of a 5th grader.

@@upstate5184 really ??? Are you not able to see that English is not his first language? Nor mine. The point is that he failed 3 times in engineering exams and yet he managed to become a senior employee in an extremely well-reputed company that at some points even dwarfs Google and Microsoft.
If he can achieve this despite failing engineering multiple times maybe you could learn some manners and act your age. Do they not teach these things from where you learned your writing skills?

In Stoicism, I have found the home of my spirit. Humility, letting go of fear, not being affected by things outside of my control. It's shown me the ability to focus on what I have to do and stop greiving about what I wish I could do. It's given me a great peace of mind and a certainty about life that I never had. I may never live the life that I once dreamed, but if I die shortly hereafter, and in dying must contemplate my life. I can say that it was a good life, that I have lived honorably. Though I've made many mistakes, I have no regrets. I have only peace, a strong will, and much room to grow. Choose not to be harmed by a thing, and you won't be.
Beautiful mindset my brother

Knowledge is greater than many riches. The love of wisdom is sweeter than honey.

The bible
True and on a deeper level, knowledge and logic help us to be less likely to be lead by others. Things like anger, hate, and prejudice are less in the more educated. Why certain greedy people want to keep us controlled and screw with our education systems.

*“Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.” ―Epictetus*
I just want to thank the makers of this. I'm a 37 year old man and I suffer with severe anxiety and and have occasional minor panic attacks and lump in throat sensation which sometimes makes me nearly lose breath or pass out.
This regains my calm and focus when in a bad way if it wasn't for this I'd probably fall into the category of seeking help else where and going on pills which I don't want to do.
Just thank you.
My friend remember nothing happens to you that you can't handle. Remember that the master planer is GOD the almighty..this is coming from a man that lives with the "is not what happens to you but how you handle what happens to you. Life is not easy.. understand this and you'll be free from panick attacks
I know its been years and lots of things might change in your life but still I would like to advise you to give a change to medicine. struggled with lump sensation and anxiety for 2 years then started ssri"s. I am fully functional now. pills are not miracle but a tool that might help you to get through your illness.

I had a philosophy course at college right at the start of my independent life. Epictetus and Epicurus were literally life-changing for me, and my life has been better ever since.
A man that hasn't experienced extreme hardship does not know himself. A man that hasn't fought for survival doesn't know what he is capable of.

All of these quotes hit a Home Run with me. You have no idea. Super emotional.
Be rational not emotional
@Matthew Young Finding emotion where theres not and being overwhelmed by it , is not rational and weakens our minds and hearts
Daniel Leal you express great ignorance of understanding healing / cleansing.
Additionally emotion is rocket fuel for logic when rationed and focused wisely.
For a positive slant on what you wrote is to aim for rationality to me ones mean but to aware of emotion and to use it wisely as possible.
Sun & Moon.
Rational & Emotional.
The earth without the sun is nothing but a dead rock. The earth without the moon is to not have the ocean tides, the migrating tree sap and many other things of delight.
As my comment may be insulting to you it will also support others I. their journey and may even help you.

Same, so emotional. Right in the feels, this philosophy nourishes the soul.
"Stop Letting your emotion override what your mind tells you"

We have two ears and one mouth, we should listen twice as much as we speak. Very wise indeed.
George Parra My Father tried to make me understand this all the time, only now he is gone do I realise the importance of his guidance.

This is one of my favourite stoic quotes ~Good character is not formed in a week or a month it is created little by little day by day protracted and patient effort is needed. ~Heraclitus
Thank you Epictetus, and ... "From the day you were born, 'till you ride in a hearse, there is nothing so bad, that it couldn't be worse!" AU
"Do not seek to seem wise to others" He said wisely.
“He who notice another mans faults may have many faults himself, but it doesn’t mean the man isn’t an asshole”.

Well spoken and enunciated. At first I wondered whether this was Sir Christopher Lee; the timbre of voice is very similar. Thank you for sharing. #knowyourgreeks
Is there anyone like Epictetus? He really is a true mentor to my life. I read the Discourses, and I want to read more books like this to be a better person!! Anyone please share!
There's my favourite Marcus Aurelius, Pythagoras, Lao Tzu, Confucius and last but not least Buddha to name but few
This is best summary of stoicism. Incredible
The lesson on the relationship between happiness and the management of desires is particularly impactful. Epictetus' insight that 'wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants' encourages us to reassess our priorities and find contentment in simplicity-a valuable lesson in today's materialistic world.
Better to die a free man on your feet than serve on your knees waiting for death.

I think I see a hint of atheism somewhere in there
@@neilnierva2013You are wrong as wrong can be. I am a staunch practicing Roman Catholic. How can what I stated even come close to a hint of atheism?
✔🔥This is an significant content.👍🏾You are magnificent in your works. Thank You in Zillions❣🙂
This compilation of Epictetus' quotes serves as a beautiful distillation of Stoic wisdom, emphasizing the power of perception, personal responsibility, and the art of living in accord with one's values. Many of the ideas still resonate today, testifying to the timelessness of Epictetus' teachings.
One quote that stands out for me is, "It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters." It cuts to the core of Stoic thought, illustrating the belief that our reactions to external events are more within our control than the events themselves. The Stoic notion of dividing life into 'things we can control' and 'things we cannot control' provides a robust framework for emotional resilience, guiding us to invest our emotional and intellectual energy wisely.
Another intriguing quote is, "Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them." This quote further elaborates on the idea that it is our interpretations of events, not the events themselves, that disturb us. Stoicism calls us to challenge our preconceived notions and biases, which are often the root cause of our distress. It prompts us to reevaluate how we perceive challenges, setbacks, or even compliments and successes.
"We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak." This quote from Epictetus aligns well with the Stoic practice of being present and making intentional choices. Listening more than speaking can be a powerful exercise in humility and mindfulness, giving us the opportunity to absorb wisdom, empathize with others, and also reflect on our internal dialogues.
The quote, "Only the educated are free," resonates deeply in today's climate, where misinformation is rampant. Education, as Epictetus suggests, isn't merely academic; it's a deep understanding of one's self and the world, leading to intellectual freedom. In an age overloaded with information but starved of wisdom, his words are a stark reminder of the power and freedom that comes with true education.
Epictetus also said, "If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid." This shows the Stoic acceptance of social judgment as beyond one's control, but also highlights the necessity for personal risk in the pursuit of virtue and wisdom. Essentially, one cannot grow without stepping out of comfort zones, even if that means facing ridicule or misunderstanding from others.
Finally, "No man is free who is not master of himself" serves as the epitome of Stoic self-discipline. Our freedom comes not from our circumstances but from our reactions to them. Thus, self-mastery isn't just about control but about defining the boundaries of one's own freedom.
Thank you for curating this inspiring collection of Epictetus' teachings. It's a wonderful starting point for anyone looking to delve into Stoicism, as well as a robust refresher for those already familiar with the philosophy.
Please more and more great videos like this one. Thanks
