Father is battling cancer. I'm doing the best I can to help him, We don't have a lot of money or people that will help us speed his treatment. It breaks me down from time to time. But I know my father, he is a strong willed person and he will overcome this. And I will do everything to be a good son . All I've ever wanted was to be a good son to him.Dta, I hope you'll be proud of me when we're done, because I'm proud to be your son . Throughout your life,you have shown what a man is capable of. I love you a lot .
That was very touching. I don't know you, but I think it's safe to say you are a great and loving son. It is obvious from your writing that you care very much and are very devoted to your dad and your family. I will be praying for you and your dad. Stay strong and positive, I wish you the best.
Stoicism reminds us that the key to a better life lies not in controlling external circumstances, but in mastering our own minds and choosing how we react to them. Focus on what's within your control and let go of what isn't.
“Don’t hope that events will turn out the way you want, welcome events in whichever way they happen: this is the path to peace.” - Epictetus I love this quote, because it links two of my favorite concepts: the dichotomy of control and amor fati. To just go with the flow and see what the future holds for us. Thanks for this video Ryan!:)
I agree. I teach yoga and invite my students to make the most out of this moment. To make a break with the past and welcome this opportunity to be themselves no matter how it feels. You can choose to be happy. Life is a gift. Don’t live in your head.
Ryan, how have you gained so much wisdom in such a short life! You're not even 40 yet! I was always told I had to get older to gain wisdom through living.
Thank you Ryan from the bottom of my heart. You were the one whom which I discovered stoicism through and it is truly life changing. It has taught me to seek happiness from within myself and not externally, and so many more lessons that I am incredibly greatful to have discovered at such a young age thanks to the internet and amazing people such as yourself.
“What matters is that you get back up. What matter is that more often than not you stick to it.” 4:18 We will always be imperfect, but we can always choose to keep taking steps towards our goals.
Thank you for sharing these insightful stoic quotes, Ryan! As a member of the Stoic community, I appreciate the reminder to focus on what's within our control and to treat our bodies with rigor to strengthen our minds. It's refreshing to see philosophy being applied to real-life situations, especially in today's world where we can easily get caught up in things that are out of our control. I also appreciate the emphasis on caring for other human beings and the common good, which is something we can all strive towards. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to more stoic wisdom from you! 🙌 #stoicism #motivation #philosophy
I was really hoping he would remain one of the few channels without paid promotions. One of the reasons I was supportive and referred people to the channel and encouraged people to buy his books.🤔😓😥
This is beautiful. Marcus Aurelius sounds a bit like Jesus actually, in the way he advocated compassion for every person and the community as a whole. Lovely.
Choose today not tomorrow, treat the body rigorously, focus on what you control, don't seek revenge, it's never too late to try again, avoid false friendships, the obstacle is the way, cherish your loved ones, listen more than you talk, you need to care about others.
Ryan reuses and talks alot about the same ideas in his videos, just maybe in a different order. But yet I find myself constantly coming back often to listen to these while I'm working out or just have some personal time where I'm just chilling and wanna think about life. It's a nice constant reminder of the virtues that I try to uphold daily.
Reminds me of how Marcus Aurelius constantly reminds himself to do the same action, but uses a different experience to illustrate why the action is the one he should take.
Here straight from the daily show I have always been this way all the time good to know I'm not the only one thx I agree and live by these right on keep it up.
Great video and content as always, Ryan. I discovered stoicism about five years ago and found you during the pandemic has helped my life immensely. Thank you again I have all your books as well.
You said something about if you can't control it, don't spend your time on it. I think I just really heard that. I was trying to decide whether to mark a load of books (which I find truly pointless) or whether to look for universities that do research on artificial intelligence on marking books in education. Now, I'm going to go for a walk with my dog. It's a spring evening in the UK. You just made my day happier. Thanks :)
Great video, specially made me think that I should actually care more about others, or at least a bit more than I do now. They say that you get what you give, even a smile. Thanks, Ryan!
I always struggle with the one about not worrying about things you can’t control. Cos I get confused sometimes about wether or not i could’ve controlled it 🤷♂️
Could have is past tense, thus no longer in your control. Best way to view things is you made what you felt was the best choice at that time with the information you had.
I'm going through this situation that you reported in the video, my best friend sent me a message in the morning, I left it to reply later, he ended up dying at night, it happened 04 days ago.
Hey Ryan I have been watching your channel for a long time now and I am a huge fan! And I am subscribed to the daily stoic email and I love reading it everyday can u make a video talking about the logos?
Marcus Aurelius and Lao Tzu are my favorite philosophers Seneca is also a great philosopher they've helped and continue to help me keep my mind calm and enjoy what I have in this moment ofc I need to be more consistent but I'll be better cuz I know I can just wish I could meet them and tell them my gratitude and appreciation for their wisdom and knowledge
@@julieskelton1223 I think Pigliucci is maybe a bit hard for the beginning? I like his first book a lot but I think maybe its a bit to detailed as a beginner. Ryans books newer books are something I would recommend "Discipline is Destiny" "Courage is calling"
Can you make a video on the application of all the stoic knowledge and how it would synthesize a sickly marriage that is spiraling into a black hole of depression and anger.
I watched so much Daily Stoic I couldn't click on political stories any more, "No complaints" is only possible if you really do focus 'only' on what you can control. When I quit clicking on them, they quit showing up. I hardly ever see one now... and of course, I don't click.
the argument that stoicism makes you a sociopath is asinine & a total misrepresentation of the stoic virtues & philosophies as a whole. thank you for everything you do Mr. Holiday
Ryan, I love the stoics. i thank you reminding me of their contributions. Your recent videos seem way too self aggrandizing for my tastes-almost like watching a Ryan commercial. Not to my tastes at all. All the best to you.
Ryan, have you read or listened to Robin Homer’s summary of the meditations? I find it quite useful. Since it is so short, I have time to listen to it all the way through before starting my day. I am starting to study and memorize parts of it. If you have happened to have read it, do you have an opinion on the accuracy of his interpretation and on how well he captures the essence of the original?
Hi Guys, i would like to ask your suggestions for something. I have been trying to do somthing that scares/ makes me uncomforteble every day. This really helps me confront my anxiety and makes me feel i concurred something today. I have done things like "Jump in the cold Ocean" "Say hello to someone that I don't feel like talking to" Taking the bike for a long trip instead of the car" "Read those government e-mails that i postponed way to long" "Going to try out new sports" "Going to social events alone" Can you guys help me come up with some more things to do for myself? I want to challenge myself but its difficult comming up with things that are different than I've already done. Thank you guys for the interest and i would love to hear from you guys!
Sounds like you are doing great. You could volunteer and raise monet for a charity. Like have your hair shaved off. Or an endurance run. You could write a book about your journey. Good luck with it from Anne in the UK
@@anneb5603 Hi Anne, thank you for your message! Yeah I've been doing some charity with some local scouting people and I've singed up for a swimming competition this summer. I do feel the progress but it's still difficult to feel good. I'd mostly like to thank you for your positive response!
I'm currently reading "Stillness is the key". i just wondered, why are there so many big and difficult words? English is not my first language but still I could tell you could have explained some things in a much clearer way. Hope you do it on purpose to deliver your message clearly rather than being pretentious (not to be offensive and annoying here, just trying to give feedback).
Any reason why you are always so stressed out, so alarming, does stoicism make you like this, do you ever have and ice cream or a donut, drink a couple of beers, spend a day or a weekend doing absolutely nothing ???
Hey dude, whenever you work towards a goal with discipline, you would regret wasting a day which you could've used. Spending the day taking you closer to your goal will make you happier.
I recently discovered that Marcus Aurelius prosecuted and slaughtered christians in his day. This seems to leave a stain on stoicism for me. I would be curious about your thoughts on it. Thanks.
11. Do not wave your hands at your listeners. Keep your hands and face away from the camera. And if you do these things you will become a better TH-cam presenter. (Breathlessly) Stop doing it now! Do not wait until tomorrow! For if you wait until tomorrow you may lose more viewers.
Hey, love your stuff bud, however, just a real nit-pick here. You said "Special Forces" then showed a video of Marine/Navy personnel. Special Forces is a very specific unit in the Army. Their nickname being "The Green Berets". I know its not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but having been in 7th Special Force Group I really want to eliminate the misnomer. The general term for Navy Seals, Marine Recon, Airborne Rangers, Special Forces, etc. is "Special Operations." That would be a more appropriate term. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

*”Do not fear having no friends. Fear having bad friends”* ~My life taught lesson
More wisdom in my channel;)
Wow. Thank you
@@geetarman513 more wisdom with us)
Sao you basically repeat his point 6 in this video. Thanks
Find friends whom you resonate with. Takes fear out of the question. Anything with fear is dumb advice.
1) Choose today, not tomorrow (live in the present)
2) Treat the body rigorously (work out, eat healthy, show your body who's boss)
3) Focus on what you *can* control (stop wasting energy, not even a second, on things that have nothing to do with you)
4) Don't seek revenge (being unlike the person who caused you the injury is, ironically, the best revenge)
5) It's never too late to try again (keep getting back up, stick to your plans/goals regardless. Everyone makes mistakes)
6) Avoid false friendships (there's nothing worse than a bad friend. Better to have no friends than false ones)
7) The obstacle is the way (The very things you think are blocking you from your goals can be converted into the very pathways of those goals)
8) Cherish your loved ones (the ones close to you are not here forever, they're on loan)
9) Listen more than you talk (humility is the key to learning and becoming a better/wiser/stronger/smarter person)
10) You need to care about others (what affects anyone affects everyone, including you)
I've always liked the saying, Bloom where your planted.
“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” 🤝
“It’s never to late to try again.” “You never fail, until you quit.”
Your a legend, thanks for sharing these inspiring insights.

I dig it. Whatever happens, happens.
*”Do not fear having no friends. Fear having bad friends” ~My life taught lesson* ( more wisdom in my channel)
We still aim at targets. We pick ourselves up when we come short. We always come back home to it. Keep going.
I agree. I teach yoga and invite my students to make the most out of this moment. To make a break with the past and welcome this opportunity to be themselves no matter how it feels. You can choose to be happy. Life is a gift. Don’t live in your head.
I don’t know what I love more about these videos. Ryan’s messages and his locations/backgrounds are equally refreshing
They fit really well

Timeless and simple, but oh so hard to implement into our own lives.
Reminds me of how Marcus Aurelius constantly reminds himself to do the same action, but uses a different experience to illustrate why the action is the one he should take.
the more you hear something, the more real it becomes to you
2ears - 1 mouth. I add 2eyes which can observe actions and balance what is heard
Ryan holiday always looked familiar to me. Then it hit me, he is the colossal titan.

Every day there are countless opportunities to learn something bad, so you must strive to learn something good…EVERY DAY.
Great !
Thanks for the content Ryan and anyone at the daily stoic team
Thank you do much for this advice, it's a real eye opener and I will try to heed it😊
I've become a better father since studying Stoicism.
I love that your voice is a trending sound on instagram. Reminds me of your message.
I love that in all of Ryan's videos with his kids, their faces are never on camera
Exactly.. Would be glad if other TH-camr would do so as well..
Thank you!

Doesn't fall for these stupid comments 😊
Is there a good starting point to learning about stoicism? I’m new to this, but this video intrigues me
I imagine Ryan’s books are good but I started with How to be a stoic by Massimo Pigluicci
I started with Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations and found it a great starting point
@@julieskelton1223 I think Pigliucci is maybe a bit hard for the beginning? I like his first book a lot but I think maybe its a bit to detailed as a beginner.

You know how you can tell who your true friends are?
They're the ones stabbing you in the front.
Right! I gotta keep this one in mind
Ask yourself one question “What will it cost me?” ( by putting off what needs to get done). My peace? My joy? My health? My life?

I don't understand why anyone would think that stoicism makes you a sociopath. 🤔
People that dont fully understand it think a Stoic just lives without emotions... so I guess this is a probable reason
Bring it
The Stoics wrote many things about many things
Many books about many books
With the same message
Give your parents a big hug from me. why? Because they produced a remarkable young man.
