Every time I hear these teachings, I feel more confident. The tone, the imagery, and the powerful message all work together to make things clear. Progress, whether big or small, is still progress, and it’s important to celebrate every step forward.
I’m glad it mentioned fate, the belief of the meant to be happening. When things don’t come as you wish, it’s a comfort to realise that maybe there is something better for you out in your life. You just have to live until it arrives.
anytime i listen to these teachings, I got boosted on my confidence. The tone , the images and most important, the message are keys to convey a clear message. Step by step we keep moving forward and appreciate improvement no matter if it is huge or small. thanks
“derive confidence from our principles and beliefs. our worth is not determined by external beliefs but rather by our internal beliefs and action.” -as a person who is insecure even though I have more than I need in life, I will focus more on making my actions speak louder than my words and by consistently being disciplined in my craft.

True Confidence is Internal: Stoic confidence is not about external validation or appearances but about deriving self-worth from within, rooted in an understanding of one's principles and harmony with nature.
Definitely amazing lesson. The 3 questions are really something that has caught my interest since I like to use them to help myself gain clarity of the situation Im facing.
This video on building self-confidence through Stoicism is an absolute gem! 🌟 The insights drawn from Marcus Aurelius are timeless and incredibly empowering. The practical tips provided resonate deeply, offering a clear roadmap to cultivate authentic confidence. Thank you for creating and sharing this valuable content-it's truly a guide for anyone looking to strengthen their self-assurance! 🙌💪
I recently went into hospital however there was a young girl there who had been waiting for more than 14 hrs. I think that is appuling that she had to wait for so long.Just be kind to each other folks no matter what your politics etc are. 12:4012:40
I'm sorry to hear about your experience at the hospital. It's definitely frustrating to see someone, especially a young girl, have to wait for so long. It's a good reminder to always treat each other with kindness and compassion, regardless of our differences. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
0:58. if everything is predetermined, then we don't need confidence. We don't need anything. We just sit and wait for that predetermined to happen (??). We are nobody.
Not the philosophical meaning of what it’s saying. It’s a hubris way of saying what shall be, shall be. However, YOU always have a choice. A choice to be a better version of yourself than you were yesterday, a choice to hold the door open for the elderly person or just anyone in general and put someone else before your own selfish ambitions. This is the philosophical mindset of stoicism. Duty to fellow brethren and obviously for us men, the protection of women/children and those with disabilities or special needs. You can choose to change your fate tonight even, change your occupation, open your mind up to previously uncharted territory. I would also urge someone on a deep inner personal journey to watch “Becoming Nobody/No one”. It shows the interconnectedness of us all in the universe without harsh judgment or negativity. It’s not weak to not be negative, actually it’s the exact reverse.
Question about the premeditatio malorum aspect of the video: At what point would visualization of the potential bad outcomes of events be considered negative thinking? I’ve used this method of thinking for most of my life and I was told it is negative thinking. I just use it so that I’m not unpleasantly surprised by a bad case or worst case scenario. I’ve always been told that positive visualization is crucial to keep anxious thoughts at bay. Is there a middle ground that I am missing?
i feel like i need to start doing premeditatio malorum, a person that is prerpared for the worst is an unshaken person that will get stronger and stronger, it is hard in these times to think about bat things with such a constructive way of doing it and i feel like there is where strenght comes from
💕This helps so much. I’m divorcing my husband after 38 years. Although we had some beautiful years, we have learned all we can from each other. Now it’s just going backwards, with resentment. 🌸Its time to go on to new experiences.💕Its exciting.🌸
@@lanceschirmer5583I believe this to be a better solution than becoming an embittered old married couple NO ONE wants to be around. 🤷♀️ I'm sure you can relate to that statement? 🤷♀️
@@suesanders1169 no one should be old and bitter I believe people are adaptive and can work out a solution to whatever problems they have. People give up and move on too easily these days in my opinion. For instance I look at Indian culture where there is 90% rate of arranged marriages with a 1% divorce rate. People are adaptive and can change we are supposed to grow together not go for new experiences with other people that is the point of the commitment. Like I said guess I am a sucker should have stayed single.
Interesting that fate is mentioned here. Would you say that 'fate' as explained here is the opposite or the same as 'karma' (the root of which means 'doing')?
If you find that you falter in your ideal, and this bothers you into thinking you're not good enough for it, don't lament that you failed to overcome some challege, overcome the challenge of feeling negative about having faltered.
Does anyone know if the private journals of Marcus Aurelius were meant for public consumption ? I own a "copy" but can't bring myself to read it without first knowing if they were intended for such purpose
I never once thought i could start all over after a shipwreck, that has opened my mind into a new prospective towards life as a whole, thank you for this incredible motivational upload
@@thestoiccommunity Interesting, though I do not recognise muscles as being symbolic of mental strength but of a potential physical strength. I understand though, why you are using chosen images, as it works well within the treatment. I like the message, the narrator sounds sincere.
THE DAILY JOURNALING WAS FOR WHAT? THAT STOOD OUT TO ME BUT IF I DID DAILY JOURNALING IT WOULD HAVE TO LINE UP WITH THE BIBLE WHEN I QUESTION IF ITS RIGHT OR WRONG. DID THEY JUST GO WITH WHAT THEY FELT WAS RIGHT ?
Apparently extremely powerful steroids were in common use in ancient Greece and ancient Rome. Especially amongst OAPs. I suspect they ate them covered heavily over their breakfast cereal. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

There may have been some practitioners back in the very old days, but in ancient Greek and Roman culture, there were very few (if any!) female philosophers of any stripe. Their position in society was too different. That said, now there are more and more women attracted to the tenets of stoicism, learning, debating, and spreading word about it. I've done a couple of "women and stoicism" google searches, and enjoyed reading some of the articles and papers that came up. As for the muscles, not even the young men looked like that. Only the gods of Greece and Rome!
@@ShizuokaJoe Thank you for your informative reply. I started to feel there was too much of a testosterone reek about and I was sure there must’ve been some women interested, but back then, I understand, it wasn’t the ball park for female philosophers to play in. I’ll google “women and stoicism” 👍
@@suesanders1169 Well, the past is what it is, but the things I find compelling about stoicism seem pretty applicable to anyone. Which is why I’m gradually introducing the concepts to my ten-year old daughter. And I’m always open to encountering different perspectives.

"True confidence is not about standing tall in the face of applause, but about remaining unshaken in the midst of storms."

confidence without clarity is nothing

OUR ROLE IS NOT TO RESIST

AND WORK IN HARMONY WITH THIS

So, is everything predetermined?
"I'm continually inspired by the Stoic commitment to living a life of virtue and excellence."

This video delves into the profound philosophy of Stoicism and its profound influence on the development of true confidence.

Where is the telegram link though?
An excellent presentation of some core Stoic ideas. However, the AI generated body builders with Greek statue heads are quite amusing
Thanks for the comments
Very useful video
Thank you for your feedback
The storms mean nothing to a ship captain but they have a different message, Then seen from someone’s life of living in sand and desert
Nice concept
Thank you for you ur feedback
God Bless Everyone Have Faith In Christ Amen ✝️❤️🙏
❤
I am strengthened after the reminder to remain calm during the storm and improve on my flaws.
I like the philosophy but I wonder were all the old stoics muscle bound men? Were there any women stoics?
Socrates was definitely not a unit
The muscles are symbolic of mental strength.
Stoicism is for every one. Men and women

@@rayjayvids Women were second class citizens and therefore were not allowed to partake in stoicism.
Ah yes, that was my conclusion but I googled and discovered there were exceptions.@@phreak761

How come all stoics looked like bodybuilders?
Apparently extremely powerful steroids were in common use in ancient Greece and ancient Rome. Especially amongst OAPs. I suspect they ate them covered heavily over their breakfast cereal.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Chris cornell all you chop liver
great

What resonated with me, is that the Stoic men were musclebound beefcakes! ... And my take away is that I'd have confidence, if I looked like them! 👍🤣
Beauty of the story is you can! Do pushups lots and lots of pushups
I'm always standing in defense? Guess tume for offensive
Im told I'm an asshole for having confidence
I have that msgs there you r All team discus
Its not preordained
Everything lie
Number 1: Grow a beard
Haha
