"He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has." -Epictetus

The wise words from the Stoic Epictetus. When was the last time you were grateful for the circumstances of your life? Gratitude is a practice that needs daily application to see results.

Learning to be grateful with your life now will allow you to be happier when it improves. Those who fail to appreciate what they have now, will soon be trapped in the hedonic treadmill.

Awesome quote and you're so god damn right. Epicureanism is the polar opposite to stoicism, although both of them seek to maximize happiness. Stoics simply do it in an intrinsically self-sufficient manner. Nothing wrong with pleasure, it's just that it can become the downfall of us all. Like the Buddha said, the root cause of all suffering is desire and ignorance. Stoicism seeks to protect against both. I can smell those 1k subs coming. Good job!

I love this. Being a naturally cynical/melancholy person, I used to put a stone in my pocket every morning and mentally recite at least 3 things I was grateful for that morning. Your video reminded me how much that simple ritual really used to benefit me. I may pick it back up for a while...
