The historical examples of Marcus Aurelius and Seneca were a great touch. They really walked the talk when it came to living with integrity and balance.
Honestly, I think the advice about self-sufficiency is so crucial. You can’t rely on someone else for happiness. It’s all about being happy with yourself first.
This video really hit home. I’ve been stuck in that cycle of chasing someone’s attention, and it’s exhausting. The idea of stepping back and focusing on myself feels so empowering.
I like the part about "ataraxia" and staying calm. It’s something I need to practice more, especially during stressful times. Keeping your cool really does make you more attractive to others.
I’ve always struggled with trying to make people miss me, but this video explains how it’s not about manipulation-it’s about respecting boundaries. I needed to hear this.
I've heard of Stoicism before, but this video made it super relatable. The part about creating space really resonated. Sometimes you need to step back for people to realize your value.
Wow, I never thought about relationships through the lens of Stoicism. The whole concept of ‘amor fati’ is really profound-accepting what happens and finding peace in it. Definitely going to try that.
Is it just me, or does living according to Stoicism seem like it requires a lot of emotional restraint? Not sure I could be that composed all the time.
