Be a Loser | The Philosophy of Epictetus

Think about what it means to be a "loser." Is it really such a bad thing? What if losing is the key to winning in life? In a world obsessed with success, fame, and material achievements, this idea might seem absurd. Let's explore this idea through the wisdom of the ancient Stoic philosopher, Epictetus.

Epictetus had some profound thoughts about what people chase after in life. In today's world, many of us strive for wealth, fame, and recognition. These are often seen as the ultimate signs of success.

Consider this. We spend so much time and energy trying to avoid being seen as losers. We want others to approve of us, so we chase after money, status, and other external goods. But this pursuit can lead to a sad and exhausting way of life. By focusing on what others think of us, we give up our own freedom and happiness.

This is exactly where I am finding myself. Material possessions and money are no longer what I am striving for. Peace of mind, friends, family, and being loving and kind to everyone, even a not so nice stranger, has given me so much more in my life. All of those things are essential to a healthy, and happy life. I'm actually purging things in my house to live a more minimalistic life, and I am so much happier and content. Thank you for making this video.😊

Agreed completely. Even I have been labeled as a Loser, in spite of having professional skill, I refused to go out and work. By the divine grace I came to know, the inner peace and true contentment can be attained only through the self realization. Everything else is mortal. No material pleasure can last long. The true Success is to have mastery over our inner well being.
