I really enjoy these Stoic mini-lectures. Thanks.

Yep, I’ve never seen anyone who wasn’t going to die.

All that glitters is not all that in many cases. Everyone likes nice things but they are just that. Stuff. Friends and family should be treasured and cherished. That’s the real gold.

A calm and modest life brings me more happiness than the constant pursue of success because happiness cannot be pursued since it must be ensued.

wealth consists not in having great possessions but in having fewer wants.

THIS is a tough one for most of us, b/c holding on to illusion props up our own Egos. This is about letting go of illusion, IMHO.

“What’s right.” Is exactly what is right. There’s such a difference between right and wrong. No matter what someone would say, “oh I’m not here to impress anyone. IDGAF what anyone thinks about me…” obviously those kinda ppl obviously do care, or if they don’t care ab what things they do that is wrong, then I don’t want that kinda person in my life. Period.
Go live your shallow meaningful life where “you DGAF ab what other’s think ab u”, well then that tells plenty enough ab the human being you are. Ba bye ✌🏽
Thank you for stripping it down once again to brass tacks Ryan. Exposing things & seeing things and ppl for what and who they are.
When ppl show u who they are the first time, believe them.

I watch you everyday Ryan. Thank you for always sharing light. Your words have helped me through this year 💕

It takes great discipline to downsize what we always thought is nice to have but its sensible to do so if it means greater heights for the soul. Thanks Ryan

100% agree! I laugh when I realize I'm alot more stoic than I thought. Not perfect by any stretch of the word but I do tend to follow this alot. Sometimes, I do have to question whether or not I'm just poo pooing on things. For instance I put very little if any of my personal energy into wealth of any kind. I have in the last 10 yrs or so gotten progressively more hardline on that way of thinking to the point where wealth or more specifically greed has turned me off on being dazzled by it. I live a good meal but at the end of the day as you say. It's just going to come out the other end the same as anything else. Social media has ruined stoicism for so many.

I want a simple life. To be able to live healthily. To give back when I can. To travel and meet different cultures.

Recently, I began to question why I wanted the approval of some people in my life, when they could barely sort their own shit out. No one knows what the hell we are doing

Has anyone ever seen Ryan Holiday smile?

Thank you

This guy is quickly becoming someone I'd pay to have a conversation with.

Write a book.

[thrillabiscuit]

I've done this a lot
Didn't know it was an approach used by stoics.

He also said praise will not make something prettier or uglier, praising is not a part of its beauty. Something ugly/bad can be in harmony with nature.
