And this, one of my favourite Marcus Aurelius quotes:
“If anyone can refute me-show me I’m making a mistake or looking at things from the wrong perspective-I’ll gladly change. It’s the truth I’m after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, VI, 21
Dam, hits hard
🙌✨ love this. Strive for the truth. No matter how painful the self examination.
Resolving cognitive dissonance is very painfull potentially. The willingness to change one's own mind is a very powerful psychological tool...and it prevents a lot of unneccessary mental anguish.
Pain becomes courage. Someone admitting they are wrong is a painful process. Yet it is also courageous. The enlightenment that accompanies new knowledge is in and of itself...a courageous act.
That's one of the best quotes! It's a delicate balance and it depends on which aspect of life one decides to exert this on. But I think most issues regarding prejudice will be resolved if its applied the right way
This is going on my board!
You are the type of person that will bring the world into a better age.
Thats hilarious! And SOOOOO wrong!

"The tranquility that comes when you stop caring what they say. Or think, or do. Only what you do." Marcus Aurelius
yup
I love that one!
I love this very much. Blessings
“How satisfying is it to block out any upsetting or foreign impression, and immediately to have peace in all things.” Marcus Aurelius. I’ve got a ton of my own videos on stoicism if you love the Daily Stoic as much as I do🤝
Not enough weight is given to the 'spotlight effect'. We have a tendency to overestimate how much other people notice about us. We tend to think there is a spotlight on us at all times, highlighting all of our mistakes or flaws, for all the world to see.
I always think that people are always thinking about me and that stops me from moving forward
@@richtexas4431 it’s one of the most thoughts in the world. That’s why it’s crucial in my opinion to first understand and accept that most people are paying significantly less attention than you think. Of course, an elevated mindset is to be indifferent to what people think even if they were giving you their undivided attention, though this is a lofty aspiration.
Great point. i think we're all guilty of that in some capacity at least.
What's a good way to deal with negativity from others?
@@JGD185 to come to realise that their “opinion” can only truly harm you if you infuse it with the power to. You have the autonomy to choose whether you attach weight to what they have said. This is usually easier to accomplish the weaker your relationship is with the person. Close family and friends and their negativity can be harder to ignore.
"we care about ourselves more than other people, yet we care about their opinions more than our own"
When you can't win by being better,we can win by being different.
Hey man we went to HS together (I was a year behind you) and I've been following your come up. Been reading the daily stoic day by day and Its been massive in the discovery of stoicism, and in my thirst for philosophy itself. Just want express my gratitude. Appreciate you
I think many of us have been living with this mindset, yet didn't know there was a name for it. To find a community of the like minded is a great feeling
Your work is much appreciated, Ryan! This is one of the most important ideas.
The only way to go is to create your own.
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
Be your authentic self. Yes, there will always be folks to oppose your true vision.
This channel makes me feel connected with my inner self...
I love this❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
💯❤
I think caring to much about what other people think
is a sign of a lack of Love for one's self, which leads
to a lacking in Self Confidence and Self Worth.
I have hit those positive levels once or twice in my
life ,but, staying there is not something I have been
able to do.
I am far better off then I would be if it had not been
for the Book I wrote you about, YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE.
That book did save me, at least to the degree that I have survived.
I completely get it , I have had a hard time completely changing
myself for the better.
Still inner work to do.
Thank you for your video. Writing to you has made me feel
a lot better today then I did.

Hey Ryan. I have to commend you for being one of the only prominent thought leaders that I subscribe to on CZcams or elsewhere who actually takes a stand, who actually gives their opinion on what's morally reprehensible. Most of these thought leaders stay out of the way, and continue to post their positive motivational quotes, ignoring the gravity of the situation we are now in as a nation. Thanks for actually raising your voice to what most in your circle are unwilling to do.
You are spot on with that point. No one knows anything.
Till the end, no matter what. All the way.

It's crazy how I find myself coming back to this channel for answers every time I struggle in life with people with things with this world
"It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own." -Marcus Aurelius
The only relationship you will ever have is with yourself all the rest are temporary at best.
Even that is fleeting. ✔
I’m now broadening my knowledge into different philosophies, but Stoicism will always have my heart. ❤️
I developed this perspective as a young man, then perfected this ability as I grew older. Thank you for sharing 👍
Five years ago I started on my "quest" To build a home myself for my wife and I after renting our entire lives. I turn 65 next month. Much easier said than done! We bought an acre and a half of "raw" land 750 miles away from where we live. I remember one trip early on. I was driving by myself to go work on the property. It was in the middle of the Mojave desert and I was feeling totally spent and started questioning what I was doing. I said to myself "What the fuck are you doing?" "What the fuck are you thinking?" I pulled over into a rest stop and I was full of emotion (To you men out there this means I was crying) If there had been a way to turn around I probably would have done it. I sat there for about 30 minutes trying to decide if I should just turn around and say "Fuck it" , Suddenly a calmness came over me. I said to myself. "This is it Bud. this is the moment. this is the jumping off point. You have to jump even though you can't see the other side." It was a turning point in my life. I just raised our Timber Frame in October 2020. Heading back in three weeks to get the roof on. I've never looked back.

10 minutes of incredible advice from Mr Holiday. Powerful and inspiring stuff. Thank you Ryan
Relevant for the immediate good vs. evil. Taking the right step into own thinking
thanks for this video Ryan! helped me a lot to cope with the daily chaos here in Manila
It is a very nice and worthy goal, but very difficult for people to actually achieve. Only very few can "reason themselves" into being less emotional
Not sure how many times ive come here to get my gravity ,and for help putting my feet firmly on the ground and my head in the right space, but i know its not the first.
Thanks again Ryan
For me, your best video ever, thanks Ryan.
Thanks!
... I think your Channel is one of the best on CZcams. Thanks for all your good work.
Thank you. This is what I need to hear
This is exactly the talk I needed to hear. Thank you!! I am going to save it and listen to it often.
you are a blessing
thank you for this video, ryan. in drunk and words aren’t flowing, but i have most definitely been impacted by your message. walk your own path!
Thank you Ryan! I struggle with this a lot and I think I understood something by being able to see it from a different perspective.
I want everyone to be able to listen to their inner voice whenever they want and do what is necessary.
Thanks a lot, Ryan!
This is exactly what I need it to hear. I've been fighting for my own personal project which has nothing to do with my current professional career and I have had lots of criticism from my closest family (boyfriend, parents...).Many times is so hard to find motivation when you are doing something "out of the box".
Many thanks again, for this.

Thank you Ryan. Really needed this right now. Appreciate you.
thanks Ryan. Great message and reminder.
Truly one of the best & positive influences in my life, thank you Ryan.
Ryan you've helped me so much over the months! Thank you for spreading the mighty words of Stoicism! Thank you again. I finished your video and I am pumped!
This has been one of my favorite videos from you. Really loved the explanations and examples. Keep going!
I continue to watch this video pretty much every morning since it was published. What a powerful and inspiring message to watch. Thanks Ryan for sharing this perspective that I must start to embrace in my own life !!!
Needed to watch this again today. Thank you! You're amazing!
Can't thank you enough, Ryan! Love to hear you speak and sharing your interpretations with us. Keep up the good work. Thanks for your great books, too! Greetings from Germany
For me, this may be the most powerful video Ryan has done. This LANDED with me! Thanks Ryan!
I love what you are teaching. It feels as if I have been searching all my life for this. Keep doing what you are doing because it is working.
thanks for your words, Ryan. I've only discovered you recently and I've been reading your books with huge joy. They're real goldmines . I'm having to buy new highlight pens all the time. You've been a great inspiration in these strange times. thanks so much. salutations from Brazil
Your books and videos are so inspiring Ryan. Thank you for sharing all your inner wisdom and the wisdom you collect for all of us to benefit from!!!
I’m 45 and feel that I live in a world where you have to constantly justify not going down the traditional path of getting married and having children. I have absolutely no desire to, but continuously feel that I’m an outsider for choosing my own path in life.
I’m 48 and have taken the same path brother
@@MPeaches1958 vows make it a marriage. Otherwise it's a live-in relationship.
The way I see it is, you are an outsider, but there's nothing wrong with that. You are your own person and that's outside the norm, but who cares? Who wants to be normal just cause everyone else is. Brilliance isn't normal.
End of the day you can walk whatever path you want to but for me I think I'm a pretty decent person and world needs more of me 😀
Much respect for what you said about how it wouldnt matter how many people were in the room and that what you are sharing isnt based on who shows up. I have such reverence for humans that are this way.
Stoicism has been a way of life for me since 2019! Thanks Ryan for introducing me to this. The obstacle is the way has changed my life forever.
I so appreciate you. Thank you..♥️🍀
"A strong objective sense of reality." Well said! Well put! And well struck! And how I see it, our current society needs stronger doses of reality and objectivity. I know that I'm glad to hear other people speak out more on these "common sense" and conscientious things aloud. I hope your empowering message and more messages like that becomes even more widespread. Practice practice practice
Thanks for your services 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Wish you more accomplishments 🖤🎊
I love what you said about being true to yourself and buck conventional wisdom! Cultivate trust in yourself.
Great stuff. Thank you!
Excellent episode. Thank you.
Thank you for the reminders brother
Most of my mistakes in life have been trusting other people's opinion more than my own. Especially as you get older, you realise people have opinions that if you follow, it doesn't damage them, but damages you. Listen to people but reflect seriously and work it out for yourself.
This is just what I needed this morning, I am going to make a bold move in business development for the company I work for . This post reinforced that bold moves are necessary.
Every minute that I spent to listen to this video was worth it. Thanks, Ryan!
This video, along every other video you post, is incredible. Wow.
Great message
Reading stillness is the Key right now.
Thanks!
thanks....you confirm my character and spirit
I first came across Stoicism about 18 months ago more or less and it was totally by mistake. I had never heard of it nor heard anyone ever mention it. I am happy that I found it. I see it as having wise older men in my life who can help guide me. I only had one wise man in my life and it was not my Father and when he was in my life I was in my early 20's and a complete stubborn knucklehead. As of now im 31 years old and I am trying to apply the stoic philosophy to my daily life. It is definitely easier said than done but I am glad I found it. Its as if I found my soulmate and it brings me peace and tranquility.
Enjoy your journey with stoicism buddy, it will give you so much in return. And although in the early stages it's easier said than done, with practice and time it will become habit and second nature.
@@mrw9513 Thank you!
@@johnnyrivas4506 your welcome, best wishes and stay safe and well to you and your family buddy
You are very lucky to be able to say what you to say and still have an audience.
Not everyone gets to do that.
Thanks for the content Ryan :)
be sensitive , but be brave, in your self. Question every thing . try to be calm. but not asleep.
Felt kinda lonely in yesterday. This video helped me get up. Thank you so much Ryan
I love your work!
I have your book and I love my daily doce of stoicism because I find it up lifting and inspiring.
Ryan, YOU are an original......keep up the good work.💯👏
Great video - thank you for sharing! I appreciate how you make Stoicism relevant to our times, and also don't shy away from how the Stoics have always engaged politically, yet authentically. That balance between self-work and kind, informed service to the cosmopolis is what drew me to Stoicism in the first place.
Ryan as always an absolutely inspirational and thought provoking vlog buddy. The vast majority appreciate you and your work, keep being you and maintain your course in life as it makes a huge difference to alot of peoples lives and the way they live them.
“Attach yourself to what is spiritually superior, regardless of what other people think or do. Hold to your true aspirations no matter what is going on around you.”
