Don't agree with #3. You should have high expectations and keep striving to become better and do better in whichever field of your choosing. Becoming your own Master and dominating a particular domain provides great joy and satisfaction. It's always better to aim high and keep climbing than to just settle for less and take the path of least resistance. To fulfill your own potential and take as much responsibility as you can is what will make you truly happy in life. You can still have balance and chill out.

The mind is its own place. It can make a heaven out of a hell and hell out of a heaven. For me personally i feel happiest around animals and open water. Equating happiness with materialism leads to misery and even premature death. One of my good friends was very ambitious and was a millionaire by 40 years old. At 42 he died of a heart attack, he achieved his goal but died in the process. He never stopped working to take a moment for himself, look at the night sky in wonder, breathe fresh morning air . A wasted life really. At some point in life a man has to cultivate inner peace and just be content with what the Almighty has given you and he has given us all more than enough we just need to share it out equally. The best things in life are free, never a truer words than that...
I don’t use social media, other than CZcams. I’m a loner, I don’t have many real friends and I’m in an unrequited love story with a friend. It’s okay, I didn’t expect life to be paradise. Stay mentally safe, it’s important.
*3 Stoic Ways To Be Happy:* *1) Alter your judgement:* Most things that happen in our life are beyond our control. However, we can control our opinion or our judgment. *2) Live virtuously:* Living according to nature. Virtue (wisdom, justice, braveness, moderation) leads to happiness. *3) Lower your expectations:* Essence of high expectation is that we expect for desirable outcome for things that we don't have control over. This often don't work out and and leads to disappointment. *You are not entitled to the things that you wish for but to things that nature has given to you. Expecting more from nature results in suffering.*
Many financially well off people aren't blessed with your gift of gratitude for nature etc ! So the question is are they the ones who are truly rich or is the person who is able to appreciate good things that are freely given actually the rich party ? 😃
Deciding to just *act quickly* instead of continuing to do nothing and just doubting myself and the world lead me to joining the Marine Corps. It was an excellent decision. Thinking too much and being too cautious has lead to every dumb mistake I've ever made in my life. We will all die anyway, there's no point in stalling or doubting yourself. Do exactly what your heart commands of you to do.
I tries this and ended up smoking weed, not caring what people think about me, ironically people seem to like me more lol. It even kinda improved my focus on work 🤷♂️
Through self love (: I asked myself those questions too but have found that with self love and gratitude (which doesn’t happen in one day) and truly loving and appreciating yourself can make a whirl of a difference. Remember, You Are Enough 💕Have a beautiful day!
It isn’t what happens that hurt us it’s how we process it. We see everything through our own filters and can choose not to allow things to affect us....don’t internalize negativity....choose to let things roll off your back like water. Your in control of how you process life.
Could be dead tomorrow! I got peace of mind down though and stay active.Working on journaling to plan better at the moment. No time like the present! There’s more keys than that though? Just saying. 😁☮️❤️🕉
@@TheHumbuckerboy Remove all negative and harmful distractions from your life. Sit quietly alone in a room. Be with yourself in nature and clear your head.
Regarding n.o. 3, if you are so pessimistic, how do you avoid apathy. If you expect things not to work or to fail, won't you just end up thinking "why bother trying then"
Because You still have preferred indifferents. You can still act. End is not the goal. Whatever happens happens, but atleast You tried your best. Stoicism actually encourages one to live in the present and to DO stuff instead of procastinating, It just tells You that whats important is what You do and not what happens.
