I am impressed that you are humble to admit this, I am sure you can help all of us that are not even 40 yet, with the experience life has given you.Please feel free to talk
The little that I've learnt about stoicism I've learnt from Mr Holiday. I try to be stoic in all that I do now and my life is jam packed. Not hectic but fuller somehow. I rarely get angry and when I do I can talk myself back into focus. I'm a different person now. A better version of me. I'm at peace with myself at last. So thank you very much for making stoicism easier to understand Mr Holiday.
No day goes by, that I don't listen to stoicism. Ryan has made my life a lot better. Am at peace. My best tenet and most valued on stocism is Amor Farti. It's my fate and I have since love it, no matter what it looks like. Thank you Ryan
Ryan is a leader without ego , unlike any other American , more like a Yorkshireman . He’s had a massively beneficial impact on my life . Quality bloke.
Ry, I never would have guessed that you were introverted and that public speaking was not easy for you. Always enjoy your presentations. Keep up the good work.
Ryan helps me to Give 1000% to Everything I do. And just do 3 business related tasks each day, instead of 10 mediocre bullshit tasks that are not important. He helps me ask myself every task, is this Absolutely essential, is this what I want to do, and following the voice within and having the courage to follow through with it. Now I don’t care about results I just know they’ll be there… but that’s not important it’s all about did I do what I thought was best for me and the company, and the people we serve.. everything else is extra.
*To all the dreamers out there, don't ever let the world's negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and right people, ANYTHING is possible...*
@@champloo2500 Hey there! Thank you and I might actually do that! But probably mainly to point out the stunning similarities between Buddhism and Stoicism ;D
The reason why I have my Notifications on for this channel is because I know that Ryan genuinely gives it all he has to make these videos as best as possible to help us. As an young 19 year old inventor/ entrepreneur Ryan helps me Not take short cuts, he helps me to be be courageous, and opens my eyes to “I will die one day there is No reason to hold back or play anything safe”. Appreciate you Ryan. Would love to tell you about my invention that’s helping 1000s of people.
This video IS Ryan's greatest hits of stoicism for sure. Thank you for compiling these clips into this collection, Ryan. Wow. Truly all of the most important concepts are imbedded in this one. I'm going to keep it, listen to it regularly and write each of the most important tenets in it that speak to me and cherish its lessons until they are such a part of who I am that you'd think I was the original teacher of them. Thank you again.❤
Ryan is definitely breaking it all down. This video is pretty much sums up what we least think about. Powerful video. Which is why I own 6 of his books. Thanks Ryan 👍👍
This was a amazing episode the way you explained Amor fati truly amazing it makes me feel empowered what you throw on the fire only makes it stronger turning everything into fuel to be a better version of yourself thank you Ryan keep up the amazing work.😁👍🏽🙌🏼💯
When I was a young lad and was playing video games, I loved the challenge. That is amor fati to me, life would be very boring if the game I was was just collecting coins. I want to fight the dragon, discover passages, save the princess and conquer the game. So when a dragon comes out spraying fire, I can't cry about that. The same with life, it happens, get excited about that broken toilet, plants that need trimmed, or even laundry. Conquer each day, each situation.
There’s no way I would ever regret a work out or getting up early and facing responsibility, it leads to guilt free reward at the end of a great day 🎮🥇
I love your videos! Please ignore me for being cynical when I do it, its to punish myself for not measuring up to the standards others have set for me!
same with if I play the victim it's just to play the part someone else is trying to put me in. I've found giving into what they want before I actually feel the way they want me to feel, takes the steam out of their engine and puts me in control of the situation from a different angle which they then have to try to figure out before they can criticize or attack me. (constantly keeping the people that hate me on their toes and guessing is the funnest part of being discriminated against!)
Seriously contemplating altering my life path (recently obliterated by things outside my known sphere). Also,my hobby farm has recently begun looking much better. Seems random, but this is my happy place.
I found the voice trying to keep me in bed every morning is _adapting_ *AS WELL!* 👹 Smart little bugger, finding new weaknesses to leverage each day. Proud of each battle i've managed to win so far - trying hard not to break the streak! ✊🏻
Hi whoever’s reading this, know that everything is gonna be ok. You’ve come this far Dont give up, love is far more important. I believe in you and so does the universe.
So I have a question, justice is one of the stoic virtues, means doing what is right at all times, but is speaking truth when people are wrong an exercise of justice?
This was the GIANT turning point for Michael Jordan. He was the best player in the world, and someone had to sit him down and explain his ego is keeping from improving his team mates and keeping him from championships. When he embraced it, the championships started to manifest. The main reason I prefer Michael Jordan over Labron James is simple. Michael Jordan continued to learn and increased his humility and classy demeanor as he matured as a champion player.
25:38 Noooo!!! I thought I was so cool in thinking up of my calendar idea!! I was thinking the same but a digital calendar. I wanted to see my growth by comparing year to year.
I like that concept of throwing things on a fire I believe it was either Nityananda or Muktananda one of those great yogis... When he was questioned by one of his disciples sir why is it you accept plates of food that have meat on them when a vegetarian diet is is good for yogis to keep their spirits pure etc etc and he said.. Something like... '''Well I'm not a beginning Yogi and at this point really doesn't matter what you throw on to a bonfire.""
And that is when stoicism is more helpful than any other philosophy out there. Amor Fati! You cannot control what anyone else does - only how you respond. Let your responses demonstrate your wisdom, patience, forgiveness and determination. ❤
I agree with the speech about everyone's gonna die but 'mortality rate' while it can have meanings depending on who uses it, in medical research it commonly means the chance that a person will die before the average life expectancy. This is a tangent but when people die is not big on their list of reasons to eat better, and that is obvious, but they can live a much healthier, more pain free eating a strict diet. I believe the stoic philosophy may encourage eating well to live better. I feel a pretty true stoic experience of enjoying a change for the better is eating healthy foods one has found to be extremely tasty. When eating very healthy many foods are off limits because they are unhealthy, but the stoic can find the joy and find spices and food combinations that are phenomenal. They can choose food items they never tried before that end up being the foods they enjoy the most. One thing many people will learn is tastes are acclimated. When many have come to this country they have tasted our food and thought it was way too oily, salty, rich. They were acclimated to their healthier diet and now are acclimated to our less healthy diet.
I did change my thoughts! I used to be positive and naive, oh how people loved me. Now I'm cynical and honest and know the truth and people want to stay away from me. Hahaha people really don't like the truth, do they?
