6 things a Stoic should never do

#Stoicism​ #DailyStoic​ #RyanHoliday​

[AscendantPhilosophy]

1. Be kind to others and strict with yourself
2. Follow your values, not other's opinions
3. Be the dumbest person in the room
4. We are who we spend time with
5. Be humble and open to learn
6. Respect the current day, for it will pass

It’s funny, number one jumped out at me. My dad was very militant with us, but to an extreme at times. Now as a young man, I’ve realized that I am also very hard on others. But it’s something I’ve worked on recently.

As I was thinking this, the quote, “If you live with a lame man, you will walk with a limp” came up. And it’s spot on.

You really have to look at yourself COMPLETELY removed from all other influences to know who YOU are.

Focus on what you have to learn to get better, good reminder for this day.

I've struggled with putting things off. Thanks for the reminder to get busy on my to-do list for today cuz I very well might not have tomorrow!

"If you live with a lame man you will learn how to limp". That is a great line.

Not caring what others think is a two edged sword. It only has value to the extent that you're aware that these others are holding flawed values and opinions, but if you are surrounded by a community which knows and practices sound virtue, you should very much care what they think. Fraternal correction is an act of love.

Working so hard on all of this right now. Sometimes though, it’s, well, hard.

I really gotta work on learning how to count, because I only counted 5 tips

[carolinewolf]

I can literally watch you forever, and I am a forever fan of yours, probably because you look much like my very own son♥️, Love ya, Caroline🤗🤗🤗🤗

I only count 5:
1. Don't be hard on others
2. Don't worry about what others think
3. Keep Good Company
4. Don't be a know it all
5. Don't procrastinate

I love that the first two contradict each other

[BayonleArashi]

Love the list man. I never stop learning

[wge]

Love these lessons! There is so much truth to all of them.

I really needed this video today. Been pondering on a problem for most part of the day, but one of these points freed me quite a lot, so thank you! 😊

[mattthompson]

Number 1 is gold. I hate seeing loads of content creators shaming others for living a different lifestyle than they do

[okayysam]

Never putting thing off for tomorrow is my biggest learning. Have incurred significant loss due to it. Great list!

I learned the brilliance of Socrates at a young age, "all that I know, is that I know know nothing at all". This has assisted me through life to approach everything as though it's brand new and to leave the ego behind. It's extremely sobering to realise that no matter how much you know, that's always more, it's INFINITE! The illusion is that people, especially so called professionals, think they know everything.

What I love about stoicism and other philosophies is that they are extremely practical and applicable. Religions can be very subjective and there are a lot of things people disagree with but with philosophies like stoicism its just logic and we cannot disagree with something

Such a trip all these ideologies I learned in a drug program back in 92 and you know what they all work if used improperly the tools are given to us it's up to us how we use them and I just have a lot of gratitude for what I've learned in my 51 years of life for myself if I die tomorrow it would be okay I've done wonders things in this little 51 years of life already raise two kids both graduated high school they're grateful children they see how hard men mom has to work to provide and they are grateful and they understand pretty wondrous thing being alive just to be here to witness all of it just really grateful the witness this brief moment in time I get tears in my eyes thinking like this
