How Stoics Develop a Strong Mindset

What distinguishes the greats is the will to keep going when others start dropping off and to see through what they believe in when it’s at its bleakest moment. And this persistence requires developing mental toughness—the ability to embrace uncertainty and discomfort while negotiating the way forward.

For most mental toughness is hard won. But once you cultivate this ability, the playing field shifts in your favor. You just have to determine what’s sustainable and what’s worth seeing through. The effective strategies in this video, with their roots in Stoicism, can help you to begin developing greater resilience.

People are criticizing you for repetition. Ignore them. Your overall message is the type that requires repetition and frequent reinforcement.

1. Embrace difficulty in everything that you seek.
2. Read books to talk with the dead.
3. Reframe the perspective into something that can take the burden.
4. Treat the body vigorously so that it is not disobedient with the mind.
5. Focus on stuffs that's up to you.
6. Cultivate courage by progressively overloading in stress, difficulty and friction towards the things that are important.

Stoic thinking is saving my life right now. Without it, I know I'd be dead. It's the only thing that's kept me moving forward.

"If one accomplishes some good though with toil, the toil passes, but the good remains; if one does something dishonorable with pleasure, the pleasure passes, but the dishonor remains." - Musonius Rufus (the teacher of Epictetus)

Having the courage to fight through hardship is what I try to learn right now - by moving to the other side for the world for my PhD, and starting a YouTube channel about philosophy, .It is scary and frightening, but it is one of the best ways to improve as a person. Thanks for this inspiring video Ryan!:)

Mindset creates the shift in the discipline we all need or seek.. enjoy the process stay the course, peace my stoics ~ 🤞🏽

Another good one! Ryan this year I picked up a copy of the daily stoic, which prompted me to read the obstacle is the way, and now discipline is destiny. Am subscribed to the daily news letter - the study of stoicism has been slowly changing me & my life. I’m accomplishing more, mostly mentally - than ever before. Pairing it with my religious practices has been insanely beneficial. Thank you for studying and then putting your findings into the world! Hugely valued by many.

Liked and saved into playlist. You and Robert Greene are and always will remain my heroes.

This guidance is where it's at, embrace it and live a meaningful life.

Shattering your ankle in a million pieces and having to stop doing what you love for over a year is also a great way to develop a super strong mindset. Although I don't recommend it :-) Nice videos!

I was told “ Keep calmly knowing change”. I hate the unpredictability of life but it is what it is. All about acceptance.
