PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT WITH STOICISM PART 1 - An Introduction

An Introduction
Dive into the ancient wisdom of Stoicism with our detailed exploration of its core principles and their relevance in today's world. Stoicism, founded by thinkers like Zeno of Citium and popularized by philosophers such as Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, teaches us how to live with resilience and integrity amidst life's challenges. This philosophy highlights the power of rational thinking and self-control, guiding us towards personal tranquility and ethical living.
In this video, we uncover the Stoic approach to life, emphasizing the importance of focusing on what we can control—our responses and attitudes—while accepting what we cannot change. We explore how Stoicism cultivates moral virtues like wisdom, courage, justice, and self-discipline, and how these virtues lead to inner harmony and fulfillment.
Learn how Stoic teachings can help manage stress, embrace adversity, and foster personal growth. By adopting Stoic practices such as mindfulness, rationality, and the pursuit of virtuous actions, discover a pathway to a more contented and meaningful life. Stoicism is not just a philosophical discourse; it's a practical toolkit for anyone looking to lead a considered and purposeful existence.

On a bad day the “think and speak” process simply breaks down. As a result, I have used an AI voice-over for all of my videos. I apologise for any imperfections, user error no doubt, but every day I work with the AI, the pronunciations, and the general conversational feel, all seem to get better.

I choose to listen to Stoic Philosoph, alone with truth I find in the Bible. Those help me in my personal journey to be the best man I can be . I started at 24, now I'm 71 . My journey is just starting. 🤔
