How To Be Happy - Seneca (Stoicism) 

Philosophies for Life 👍🏾

I wondered why I haven't seen this its new lol

Well done

If only we could get everyone to listen and accept these Philosophies, Accept what happens for if it already happened you can not do anyhthing about it , best learn and move on. Stoicism has helped me in many ways.

Philosophies for Life *

Do that, and take good care of yourself.

If you have your health, you have a lot especially in these times we're living in. You can always begin again, but the scammer has some bad karma coming down the line. Detach from what happened and trust that God will take you where you need to go. Use common sense but trust your intuition.

Modern life is very stressful, it is just we are in this bubble that we don't recognize the mess we are in. Stoicism really helps to be more happy. Say you are working all week long, you take a break in country side, you will feel great happiness, what if you work there? I guess life would be happier. Cities took over ourselves

Your experience will enable you to help others. Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others you may become vain and bitter; For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals and everywhere life is full of heroisms. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. Do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born out of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; You have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. ~ Max Ehrmann ~

You are a powerful being having a human experience my friend. You came to experience this world to help elevate your soul as u journey towards becoming a master teacher for younger and lost souls out in the Universe. You are on a journey. Enjoy every moment good and bad.....its all the same the dif is the amount of energy you commit to each experience. Love and light my friend.

They don't have philosophy there? Wow. Stoicism has been around awhile. Or do you mean 'how to be happy', with selected exerpts from stocism as here? That was your parents job. Always used to be anyway until recently.

@@parrotshootist3004 They absolutely have/had philosophy courses. The trouble was, you have a "major" and only certain classes count towards that major and if you decided to take a major that lead to a job outside of college, one did not take philosophy or literature, or religions, or history; one took science, math, and political science (for the easy A). How deep into philosophy would one have to go to get to such gems? 200? 300?

@@williamcullen8756 Fair enough point. I guess, given you were raised in the school system instead of with education. If you were, you would have read much of this stuff before you were 10. Classical Liberal Education is vastly different from the system you are in. Which is Schooling and its most important function is socialisation. You would have deduced a lot of this your self from classes on Logic. If not been reading it perhaps to note their Rhetoric and Gramma.

@@parrotshootist3004 It is even worse than you imagine. When I was a child, my family was poor. In high school, I was told that I could not take advanced classes because I was poor and those classes were for the kids going to college. They actually said that to my face. That was in the late 1960s early 1970s. It is much different now. In high school, my senior year I had: shop math, machine shop, print shop, wood shop, and mechanical drawing (which was a lot of fun). The shop math teacher just skipped me when asking the class questions on the homework because he knew the class was to easy for me. It took an entire year of remedial coursework to get my math and science skill to the college level after high school.

Your comments are always among the best ones and through them I found your channel and subscribed. You deserve much more followers dude!

@@vibes3626 Appreciate the love

Peaceful surroundings also help immensely.

That's the problem looking for happiness - that's not life - life comes with its ups and downs - we must learn how to handle these things Trying to find happiness leads to religions like Christianity promising the easy good life in the sky - Heaven is the biggest and longest running Ponzi-scheme

@@ramaraksha01 Perhaps many were conditioned to expect to arrive at happiness. Perhaps a future happiness was a promise for outgrowing childish selfishness. It is an open question as to whether something as ill defined as 'Christianity' promises happiness, and depends a great deal on the time and place. Its uses and abuses are wide ranging. Therefore, I take exception to you characterizing it in the way you have. Chesterton Quotes: Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried. I agree with your opinion that looking for happiness is problematic. I think it is more likely a by product of how one lives one's life.

AMOR FATI

Yes it really is a consistent and reliable philosophy, way of life and way of thinking

@@Saber23 did you not get the joke? 🤔

Michael Grace it didn’t seem like a joke was being told my guy

@@Saber23 Without passion, without striving for something worthwhile what is life? 30 years as Mozart or eternity sitting in heaven a useless, wasted existence?

That's wild. Glad you're still around tho. Sending positive vibes your way

Thanks from ur subconscious mind.. Not from heart

@Janice Brown thank you 🙏

Never end joy

People say "shit happens". I say 'Life happens'. Because Life is Shit. But it's the only life we have, and we should make the best of it. Always be positive. Always being positive is not the same as always being happy.

@ivan kicker liar

@@bodhimom1 very true, holding onto love is also allowing someone to live inside your head rent free. The past is the past, we need to move on.

A Ben man I am living that exact thing right now. Even the engineering. I feel like my life is wasting away, and I don’t even really have a passion for engineering now. If you have any advice for me please let me know. I’m dead inside man

@@nick23900 sure! my pass time that is helping me a lot, I would like to share with you: writing small apps, even stupid ones, more importantly, I write technological specifications, and ideas, not a work of a genius, far from that, the most entertaining part is to get a notification from a random stranger willing to help, I am working on Github, I don't know your field but try to find your internet niche, the difference between this and just fooling around RU-vid and Facebook all time, is that you are being productive, and not 100% consumer, doing this I assume needs some free time, so if you are working already full time, it is hard to get outside your bubble, find a partial time job or no contractual job if you are at ease financially; This is about life as an engineer. otherwise adopt your healthy habit, no need for 100% shifts like someone sleeping for years and going to the gym lifting weights, it doesn't help and can be nonconstructive or even destructive.

@@nick23900 for the healthy life routine, a healthy diet is a MUST! along with enough sleeping, a nap is very healthy for mental health, not a long nap just 20-30 minutes. For me, I take a beer each day at 11am, knowing I am a morning bird, I take breakfast, and go directly outside to some park. as you can see I quit my job, and far from being financially at ease, but hopefully I am trying to invest time into some open source projects and find an opportunity. stay in contact with your family in any case. even just texting.

@@nick23900 let me know if this makes sense or not .. and forgive my poor English :D Good luck !

@@nick23900 another thing that seems important to me: Music ! I was a heavy listener, music can be very destructive if you are moody and going through bad times, be careful of what you listen avoid hardcore music, it is better to listen to what someone listened before with his parents going to the beach in summer. :)

It's difficult at times. I often have the same struggle. I'm sure even Seneca got angry at times. But I think we often make decisions or take reactions to things while in anger that harm us far more than they help us. Even stewing on the things that make us angry or like a slow drip of poison that we keep giving to ourselves. It's not hurting the things that were angry at but it sure is hurting us. I see this one as dovetailing into the part about letting go of what we can't change. If the thing that makes us angry can spur us to a decisive action for the better, then make the movement and move on. But if the action based on that anger only harms Us in the long run, then better to take a breath and let It go. Just my thoughts, on something I'm still struggling with myself..

Is your name Marge?

Amen

Marrying the right person makes you happy. Unfortunately, you've only got a fifty fifty chance of getting it right.

@@ericabassi7728 Far less than 50/50. In this day and age it is wise to stay single until you spend enough time to know this is the right person to partner with.

@@ericabassi7728 50/50 Chance of marrying the right person? I appreciate your optimism but beg to differ.

Being with another human being makes things super complicated especially for the fact that we even don't know who we truly are (or trying to avoid acknowledging it). Nevertheless I felt miserable with my first marriage. And I can tell you my second marriage also has its ups and downs. But my daughter, man I wish anyone of you who is reading this can experience having their own child because noone can tell you with words how it truly feels. I hope you get there and remember this moment. I wish you strength through your experience.

@@denizorsel1029 All very nice...but u will need to let your child go when they are older...say 16...or close to that.It is not as easy as it sounds. Doable and necessary. But important to add that it's not necessary to have children. The world is already overpopulated, thank you.Also a lot of people wants children as they see them as an extension of themselves. Get over yourself. They are plenty of people whom have no kids, and whom are awesome human being ! ;)

Wow bro that’s so funny

An opportunity for improvement isn't good enough. There must be the improvement itself. Unfortunately it will have been over the course of millennia that sheer hundreds of millions (if not billions) will never have had that improvement.
