The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche would describe his formula for human greatness as amor fati-a love of fate. “That one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backwards, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it….but love it.” The idea behind 'amor fati' is to love and embrace everything that happens, whether or not it fits with the goals we have in mind.
Memento Mori-the ancient practice of reflection on mortality that goes back to Socrates, who said that the proper practice of philosophy is “about nothing else but dying and being dead.” In early Buddhist texts, a prominent term is maraṇasati, which translates as ‘remember death.’ Some Sufis have been called the “people of the graves,” because of their practice of frequenting graveyards to ponder on death and one’s mortality.
The single most important practice in Stoic philosophy is differentiating between what we can change and what we can’t. What we have influence over and what we do not. A flight is delayed because of weather-no amount of yelling at an airline representative will end a storm. No amount of wishing will make you taller or shorter or born in a different country. No matter how hard you try, you can’t make someone like you. And on top of that, time spent hurling yourself at these immovable objects is time not spent on the things we can change. You Control How You Play.

"You cant control what youtube puts in your recommended. You control what you play."
What a beautiful illustration of this point!
Nicolaj Nielsen what an unnecessary reply
Why is what CZcams recommends for you a option I never use what a computer recommends for me Never a option I recommend
Yvette Myers it’s an option because it’s there. Good luck in your uprising against the machines
Amor fati
1. This is my life, appreciate the people whom I encounter.
2. The only thing I can control is my actions & reactions.
3. Life is short. I must appreciate what I have.
You can also control your judgement
Deana Duquesne The stoics are totally counter to cultural Marxism, which is all about wallowing in victimhood.
You don't have to appreciate i think. You can. That's the beauty in it. But you must accept who you fundamentally are. Only so much. Only a human. You have your own personality. That's your grace. And you can make the most of it by embracing it.
Amor fati
YES!
When the quarantine ends: "I'm more fatty"
hhahahah
Excellent
Gustavo Bellene such truth!
...and remember, you love it!!
Couldn't you control what you ate?
“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.” ~Phillips Brooks
I am posting this on my FB page.
Johnny Salter just to be clear, a lot of people are going to claim it’s JFK who said it. But Philip brooks was the original person who said it
@Tony my guy, who tf asked. I have Obama as my pfp not because I like his presidency, or because I think he’s perfect, but because his memes are funny.
@Tony stop looking for internet fights, it’s lame and a waste of time
Praying doesn't do anything. If you want to be a stronger man, be one
Stoicism is too beautiful
That's because stoicism is the branch of philosophy closest to absolute Truth. "What can better suit your needs than that which comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny?" (or words to that effect- Marcus Aurelius) So true. And yet, these teachings are difficult to adopt until one has good reason to BELIEVE that this is true. That "reason" can come to one in a moment through an experience. But lacking an experience, one must find that reason through investigation. And my book "THE HOLY GRAIL IS FOUND" takes its reader on a journey that accomplishes exactly that. Give me a "click" and see my CZcams channel for more information, including the answer to the coronavirus.....
Amor fati
this is kind of the concept of unus aunus
Very much like Orthodox Christianity
What about hedonism?
Not really stoic but
"If it's not right dont do it
If it's not true dont say it"
- Marcus Aurelius
Y u making life bland. Bad things and lies are like the spices in life. You can't always be right
Btw Seneca wasn't the first Stoic, it was Zeno of Cyprus who founded the Cynism school of phylosophy who would later become the Stoic school
Ty... Did not have the words and was very confused to what I was listening to. There is no such thing as indifference or just accepting reality with this clown.
@@anasnajoui Some cavemen could have been the first "Stoic" without calling himself that.
@@rehakmate Very true
1. Amor Fati - Not merely to bear what is necessary, but love
2. You can't choose the best situation always, if you are in difficult situation then only one thing matters "How you play"
3. Memento Mori - Remember you will die
Having had chronic depression for years with a recent spike and feeling like there’s an itch somewhere that I can’t scratch as I’ve no idea where it is, this is one of the best, most succinct pieces I’ve come across and I do believe I feel better having watched it. Five thumbs up 👍
Also try keto carnivore ...that helped me...might be your lack of bile production...may need bile salts...hope this helps
@@ninawildr4207 what never heard this ? .. eating keto helps how ?
RobbieC same here
@BusinessBabe Better certainly, thank you.
Agree this clip is profound. Good luck to you RobbieC
My mindset in college when I was starving, poor, in debt, taking the unbeaten path, 3-4 hours of sleep, commuting 1-2 hours or finding some nice chairs, etc. It was brutal and I cried a lot but I never felt the most alive. I always feel more alive when life is tough or something takes so much effort and self discipline.
Good for you. The younger self knew better for some of us. But for some reason, some could unlearn things. Indeed one could look to the past and realized the struggle was beautiful.
Pretty sure 3-4 hours of sleep was a choice.
This is a cure for the victim culture.
Amor fatti, I control how I play. Not the game.
Mario Rossi when someone calls you she instead of zvee Amore Fati
Millennials are in the victim culture category
You gotta be that guy huh.....lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤣🤣
Burn in 6 million people in ovens. Enslave 20 million+ for centuries Sorry Amor fati doesn't suffice. What a crock! We certainly didn't say amor fati during 9/11. We wanted absolute revenge. An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth. Like it says in the Bible! None of this pagan/pansy turn the other cheek stuff!
@@paulsmith-gi5vm then what do you want nothing will suffice for all the tragedy that has happened in this world the point of the saying is you gotta move on and keep on living
When you lose someone you love, no amount of anger, no amount of resentment, no amount of sadness brings them back.
But you STILL need to feel and accept these feelings.
@@rachelk7555 but people get stuck feeling miserable hoping they would come back.
@@rachelk7555 nothing wrong with taking time to grieve over the loss of a loved one but at some point we have to gather ourselves together and keep moving unless u wanna always be sad and miserable then that's your choice
Amor Fati’s potential is limitless. I achieved success with the easy steps below.
Many need to know this. A known podcast in the US taught me how the rich seek the ideas of FinanciaI ConsuItants to help earn success. That’s the secret the rich don’t teach you. I took this step and my finance breathes so good now 🤑
To acquire success, you need the help of a FinanciaI consuItant. I engage in a variety of lnvestments with the ideas of my consuItant and have acquired great returns so far. (the amount is confidential).

Opportunity is a scarce commodity. I will partake in this; there’s no limit to what you can achieve in life (including success) if you put your mind to it. Luckily I stumble into this.
It’s like this one quote I read from a book once - “Everything that happens to me is the best thing that can happen to me.”
I've been listening to this a lot this week morning and evening. A'd today, just as if to test I remember what I've been memorizing this week, my car broke down in the middle of the road - and it's rush hour. Cars honking from behind though I had my warning signal on.. People looking at you as if they gonna kill you.. And it happened. I smiled and amor fati prompted from my brain. And then 'you control how you play' got me out of the car to put on my warning triangle. I was for sure gonna be late at office so 'memento mori' reassured me.
This has been a blessing. I stayed happy and energetic instead of super upset. Thank you Ryan.
NASSMA, Sorry to hear that. Being Stoic is great in a pinch but one must also Think Positive---- "Bad situations don't happen to me." Then when they do just say, "F it" -- Stoicism.
What a superb response!
Stoicism, unfortunately, is something you cant really understand until you have no other recourse for motivation. It hits differently when you really need it.
Amor fati goes perfectly in line with St. Paul’s words: “Always rejoice. For everything give thanks to God.” ❤😊
Amen to that... trying to be grateful can be difficult but it's so rewarding
I think every human with internet access should watch this video.
Klaa2 hows it bullshit. So we should just dwell when in hard times and we’re not going die? Lmao foh
I agree, Kyle. "What can better suit your needs than that which comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny?" (or words to that effect- Marcus Aurelius) So true. And yet, these teachings are difficult to adopt until one has good reason to BELIEVE that this is true. That "reason" can come to one in a moment through an experience.

this channel and others on philosophy has changed my life. thank you.
@Klaa2 You're transformed by Tiktok
So, the three mantras to remember:
Amor fati
You control how you play
and Memento mori.
Got it!
I had to end my dog's suffering recently. I miss her so much! She was my best friend. I don't love it that this happened, but I am grateful that we shared life and love together!
Same here Dave, the passing of time does help the loss. But knowing I’ll never see my dog again and see her enjoying life hurts, but I gave her a great life, no doubt you did same for your buddy
I have had so many loving dogs, cats, and random wild pets. It never gets easier to lose one. But helping them find a peaceful death is the greatest gift you can give them. You can cherish all the times they made you laugh or made your heart splash with love.
Even in his books, Ryan always uses the pronoun "we." This is an underestimated feature of stoicism and philosophy in general. I'm a language teacher and I know very well that it is not easy to intentionally use the "incorrect" pronoun consistently. But he is right. All humans ought to work together towards a common goal -- the advancement of our species. This is the "we."
Stoics and stoicism are two-dimensional philosophers/philosophyy for emotional zombies.
DYLAN, the "advancement" of our Earth and all her species!
I agree! I teach professionals and I always use the word we in teaching as well to encompass the standard that we all need to strive for. Thank you for your comment! I love when other people notice that as well
@Steve HayesOne person's use is another person's misuse.
This is also a reflection of the invaluable quality of humility i.e. I too have to work on these things.... this is not just for you... it's for me - we - us....
My mom passed away. Of course I am bloody unhappy.. like my heart is ripped out of me but not allowed to die... but now I control how I conduct myself... like “invisible mom” standards. Amor fati...
I have started to smile and get on my life. Still unhappy... but well... momento mori... life goes on, birds chirp, bells ring, children smile, sun shines...
Brother i lost both my parents before i was 18. I know how you feel, but trust me this is the fuel for your fire and your future endevours. You can't rush the process of grief. For me its best when i seek solitude in nature, thats when i have the most clarity. Its going to be hard, but you should never give up, trust me, one day you'll see why. Its okay to cry brother, stay strong.
Sorry for your loss
Mark Potočnik Thank you Mark for the lovely words. Believe me, it’s an uphill task to agree to live again, especially as an INFJ 🙂, but that also means that I am stronger than I know! My mom was a strong woman who set very high standards by example. Just meeting her expectations keeps me enough busy to wallow in self pity or sorrow. 😄 I’m sorry to hear about your loss Mark. Hugs. Life wasn’t too kind to you but I surely hope that it made you strong!! Oh... and I am a girl.. haha. But appreciate your support. Hugs brother!
@@arpitadatta2711, you're gonna be alright, just take your time
Forgotten Thank you 😊. Much love!
I have always said " In 100 years none of this will matter anyway ".
@rusty nutts And you will continue to subsist and enjoy posting your impulsive, inconsequential comments to CZcams for just as long as a sufficient percentage of the community surrounding and supporting you continues to feel the opposite.
Everything important~
Matters~
Forever~
When I feel bad I have this expression. "We're going to die anyways." I never thought there's a Philosophy behind it and I'm starting to love stoicism.
I thought I made this up...i say it when I am at the end of my resolutions- it keeps me from wanting to die. It's a relief...because I don't have to feel as bad. It's coming.
Lost my father June 30th, was called at 8:52PM but I was there in the driveway I knew. Been floundering as one would and this video, is going to be my guideline to make the most of the rest of my life.
You got it bro.....🙏
I feel your pain and am sorry for your loss 😢
I also lost my mom recently…heartbreaking, yes.
She was a kind person and my best friend. A part of my everyday is now gone.
However I tried from the beginning to see what the universe was giving me in the action of taking her away…
What is the lesson or the blessing.
And I saw that my brother and I were left with our father who we have a fractured relationship with.
So if this is happening “for us” and not “to us”, then maybe we are now given the circumstances or opportunity to grow as individuals if we can work towards a more harmonious relationship together.
Has it been easy…hell no.
And sadly it’s still very early in the season of loss.
Are there days of great sadness and regret and grief… Hell ya.
But that’s human and heartbreak.
I tell myself that’s part of the experience.
And on top of that I’m a person who deals with anxiety, depression and is neurodivergent…so it’s not like my brain just naturally wanT to act in a stoic or positive manner.
And then to add to my layers of loss, grief, stress…my job, my career of 18 years is over, very recently laid off… and so soon after the loss of my beloved mom.
My role outsourced by a family owned company that I was so dedicated to…and the pain is compounded.
So again I ask “what are the lessons or blessings here?”
I just tell myself, it’s spilled milk…now try and move forward.
I’m soooo glad that I came across this video because it soooo eloquently and philosophically explains what it is that I’m trying to do or think mentally when faced with hardships or situations I can’t control.
I wish you strength and peace ✌️
Something sticks out, strangely. When I was incarcerated, [and it was tragic as to how it happened], I saw the saying (2times in a row), “This Too Shall Pass”. He mentions this. That saying actually got me through. It was written in the cell, twice. Thank God I saw it. Helped a lot
Debra Marek Funny. That saying has been in my head for a long time. I’m not sure where I first got it, but it has definitely helped me through some hard times. Whenever something seems grueling and no end in sight...I remind myself - this too shall pass...and I think of the thousands of lifetimes before me that have already played out. The slow inevitable passage of time trudges on regardless of our circumstances. Thanks for your story. That’s some deep shit seeing that scribbled on a jail cell wall. Makes me think that someone spent a long time there and that’s what they concluded. Stay out of trouble =]
As a soldier, you are taught to "love the suck" and the more you do, the more powerful you become
Amor fati is a Latin phrase that may be translated as "love of fate " or "love of one's fate". It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in one's life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary.
There are things we can control and things we never have control over,know the difference and wisdom and apply it .
Arigato gozaimasu...
I feel impelled to thank you Ryan. I'm moving into my sixties and I'm well read. I skirted the edges of Stoicism years ago but only now have I read your books. Not only have you made the subject very accessible but after putting it into my daily practice I'm now facing a life altering crisis with a serenity and peace I've rarely known. Once again, thank you very much for your efforts and your guidance. All The Best to you and yours.
"You'll never see a fire like this....."
Im sold! Cool video
punks not dead Edison deserved every bad thing that happened to him. He stole from Tesla, tortured and killed elephants and invented the electric chair specifically to kill people.
Just an interesting fact ✌🏻
@@kosmickromosome7912 doesn't change the fact that that's a good philosophy to have, regardless of the fact that Edison was an asshole. Don't let one bad man taint an entire saying.
Am I the only one who watches Stoicism everyday?
I'm just a new stoic but it's my 5th day watching this. Stoicism is just beautiful
me too this is my 4th day
In 2019, I have gotten a girlfriend, then, fast forward several months, I have been replaced by a better one. It is truely heart-breaking for me to face the truth that I have been replaced like a broken toy.
I was into stoicism that day, learning about Marcus Aurelius' Meditations and quotes. I have even read Ryan Holiday's book, The Obstacle is the Way. Once that I have learned about loving fate, I have never felt so vigorated and grateful.
In this current year, I have seen my ex having way too much drama and stress together with his new boyfriend. I can't help but to snicker abit. A blessing in disguise I guess? No more costly dates and useless dramas, I suppose.
You ride above all the nonsense show your strong mentality. You will. Soon see it was for the posative reason you will only grow stronger and stronger
Happy for you , that pain you went through was for YOU to grow . And you did ! Peace n love always
With her broking up, she gave space to someone better
Always walk away, when the red flags start piling up. They are a taste of the future, nothing you can or should want to change, walking away is wisdom, Amor fati.
What's the stroic response to this schadenfreude?
I’d like to personally thank you for this video, it saved me from wallowing in self pity, being stuck in depression, and dealing with all the problems I’ve faced and will face.
Accepting these facts gives me a sense of lucidity in life.
just to let you know youre not alone
When life is being hard , amor fati to help you get yourself up. When life is good, memento mori to keep your feet on the ground and amor fati go keep your head in the clouds. I can only control my actions and reactions, nothing else.
A well said summary !! 💚👍
I don't think you can control your reactions bud
@@deussivenatura5805 our reactions is something we do involuntarily, so no we can’t control them in the moment, but we can change how we react to things over time
Stoicism has been a remedy for my depression and has saved my life
"Embrace the suck."

@@orewajackkuripper1204 that's actually how you get ahead in life
David goggins?
Hooah.
I can try and share my experiences recently:
I totaled my supercharged E46 M3 and I was devastated. I got depressed. I left my group of car friends. I stopped talking to friends I spent all my time with. I stayed inside. I was miserable.
Then I realized my perspective needed to change. I eventually got insurance to cash out a decent check that would just about pay off my loan. I got out from under a car that was fairly problematic and expensive to maintain and expensive to drive. It was a money pit and the interest wasn’t the greatest on the loan. And I walked away from all that. No injuries to myself or others. Nobody else was involved in the accident. And my mechanic will be getting the totaled car to make money off of and work on.
It’s all based on perspective. You can let life slap you in the face and just whine. Or you can take that slap, let it piss you off and beat life’s ass and show it you’re stronger than it.
Bmw break my wallet
Going into the new year, I am continuing my stoicism practice and will lean on these teachings to live the very best in me.
Probably one of the most impactful videos you've produced, Ryan. I'm so grateful I've crossed paths with you and this community.
Inspiring and motivating! Thank you for this great video!
As a middle aged man who is facing the most debilitating struggles and dark days of my life thus far, this helps and resonates with me.
Wow, I have been stressing/blaming, this marriage for the reason I smoke and drink every single day, on top of wanting to quit. Comparing that to death, thanks for the real wake up.
If im not mistaking, "Amor Fati" in Kenyan translates to "Hakuna Matata"
@jordan joseph it's Our problem free Philosophy,
@jordan joseph yeah, Hahaha
I was just typing the lyrics of that one lion king song😅.
@jordan joseph
Thanks though😁.
@@robinchwan2785 Hakuna matata
I hated stoicism when I first learned about it. Had a rough start to life and grew up hypervigilant, constantly seeking avenues of control, fearing death and suffering, reliving past traumas, trying to manipulate fate at every turn.
Desperate and severely depressed, I decided to die. But at the precipice, I suffered what felt like a universe shattering existential crisis. I remember shouting "I have no control!" That's when it hit me. From Zeno to the serenity prayer, it all fell into place. It suddenly made sense. I spent the next few years feeling the burden of fear and death leave me. I felt alive and in control of myself.
Stoicism literally saved my life.
I’ve shared this video with countless friends and have watched it dozens of times myself - thank you - very impactful!
Thank you for presenting this material in a non-pretentious way. It makes it far more enjoyable to listen to and far easier to absorb when the presenter projects passion about their subject. You have another subscriber.

Weird how I’ve had this way of thinking since high school, but I’ve never heard of stoicism until 2 months ago..
I’m in the process of my spiritual awaking after going too deep unto the rabbit hole. 2020. I wish all of you the best.
We're all gonna make it.
There's no going too deep in the rabbit hole.
Someone out there is still asleep
I’ve been a long time follower of you, Ryan and your books and podcasts have changed my life. From when you focused heavily on marketing to a deeper focus on stoicism, it’s been a great journey. Keep doing the amazing things you do 👍🏻
"That's a formula for human greatness". This sentence with music are outstanding . Appreciate it !

Stoicism and Christianity go well together
Mr. Popo
Very much, it’s a wonderful thing to add virtue on top of faith. Forgiveness and wisdom are very harmonious and synergistic. I am a believer in Christ, and I count the teachings of Seneca, Aurelius, Epictetus, and others as a blessing from God and the answer to many sound prayers.
Tesla when Edison stole all his work and passed it off as his own "Amor Fati" lol.
Yes ...thief
Or memento mori...
Yes ! 🤣👍
I thought the same.
Jason Voorhees i think it is Memento Mori
These short videos have been fueling the changing of my being. I just turned 59 and I've gone back to being just a carpenter. Amour fati. Please keep making these videos.
All the best.
I saw this atleast 3 times and Im still getting something new. You think you understand an idea until you go back and re read it or re watch it or re visit it. thanks Ryan!
Ryan,
you say "should" quite a lot. when i learned to drop that word i found i carried less of a burden. i find the words "could" and "might" to be less restricting, and i am still able to make new choices and to move in a new directions, sans the burden and judgement of "should".
thanks for your channel.
And less judgemental. Qualifiers restrict our behavior. Try, maybe, still, just and other such words are excuses. The words we choose affect our perceptions. I cringe at the dehumanizing word "kid". Words define us.
0ptimistic cynic
i write to defend MY use of the word "kid". i turned 70 a few days ago, and for a while i have used the word "kid" in online responses. i want to claim my own age, and also acknowledge my listeners youth. this, of course, when i think i see that broad differences in our ages.
age confers experience, but of course it never protects one from being the fool. i never use it as though i am the master and the other as the pupil. and one can be dismissed for being old, just as well as for the converse. i think i mostly use it when handing out compliments.
i enjoyed your comment very much. happy to cross your path.
For me it’s actually necessary to hear “should”. I’m very undisciplined and can only act when I’m forced to. That’s why I resonate so much with Dr Peterson and not so much with others. I’m so desperate to have some direction in my life (27 now) that I actually appreciate someone telling me I “should”. I need to feel the sense of urgency in people’s advice to even consider it. But that’s me.
potato head
you should get over that.
potato head I'm just the opposite: as soon as i hear "should, better, have to!" my body seizes up, and my brain kicks into overdrive. What's the rush, why the imperative?
Thank you so much for reminding me what I have forgotten! I have a mantra where I say never stress over things you can't control and everything will fall in it's place as it's supposed
Love the stoics! Doesn’t matter what life throws at you “don’t get bitter, get better”. Thank you for breaking down their work and make it palatable for us!
This is a real hard truth! But, when started to grasp and apply everything, all things about you will change. Thank you for this! This enlightened me on everything.
As a Frontline healthcare worker in our current conditions, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate finding this channel today. What a wonderful source of strength and motivation. Thank you so much!
For some people Memento Mori is depressing but for me it's more of a motivation. Rember you will die so do it as best as you can and don't be upset if you lose it or don't be arrogant when you get it. Those words are life changing
The last one is just sooo good. Like whenever i feel overwhelmed. I get to here remind myself of mortality. And relax
Me right now haha
This is helping me SOoooooO much I have no words other than thank you. Your life may be blessed as I have been by listening to your videos. I'm crying man. Thank you
I’ve watched this many times and I just love because it makes hard times doable.
Very blessed to come upon your content! This is helping me and my friends in Brazil to learn a whole lot from this covid situation and to face it with a more positive mindset. Keep up the good work, man!
Why was this particular video so powerful? All my life, I struggled with depression. I felt such anguish. Now I know why. Memento mori - are potent words that brings things into perspective. Thank you Ryan for illuminating this for me. I am so grateful!
It has been a blessing that I came across this video and the knowledge it showed. I'm overwhelmed with the power of the ideas it explained. I wanted to cry after experiencing this video. Thank you, Ryan. You've given me so much to use in my daily life.
1. Amor fati
Not merely to bear what is necessary... But love it
2. You control how you play
3. Memento mori
Remember you will die do something about it
You can leave life right now. Let this determine what you do say and think
- Marcus Aurelius
Needed to hear this at exactly this moment, I try and live a good life don't harm anyone, I never say a bad word about anyone but with Xmas all the dramas was draining my inner strength. Strength, honour and integrity folks!
Don't worry bud, you're not alone... My new year started with a real 💣and not in the way I had hoped either😅😉
Probably the best 10 minutes I have spent in CZcams, this is a life changer video
I cannot hear this message enough. Thank you for this priceless wisdom, god it helps so much. Love to you.
In addendum to this beautiful video is these words I repeat when I find myself in pleasant situation and in an unpleasant situation is "this too shall pass" I use these simple words a lot knowing how fleeting time is

@@thedadyouneverhadchannel3544 I'm covered from head to toe in ink. ;)
Thank you, Ryan. Your book “ego is the enemy” has helped me be grounded in success and as I aspire.
Thank you, Ryan, for coming along at just the perfect time.
Wisdom is just flowing in this VIDEO! You own my reverence RYAN.
This is the most personally valuable video I have seen on CZcams in 2020. In seemingly the hardest year of my life, this changes everything for me! Thank you so much Ryan!
Love this. Real wisdom. Real truth. Real sustainable acts and principles. All delivered with moral and integrity. All humans are capable of these actions.
All we can control is how we react to something. This is spot on!
You changed my life and my view on philosophy. Thank you for sharing this golden content Ryan!
physics and philosophy, but the most important is(MUSIC) for in the (PATTERNS) of the arts are the (KEYS) to all learning....
Ran across this video the morning of a huge presentation in front of my sr leadership. What a lifesaver 😅
I find great comfort in watching this video regularly. It's an excellent tool.
Love my books! Love the mantras! Going through a rough patch right now…. Amor Fati!!! I really needed these.
In these crazy unsure times its definitely a case of " amor fati" thank u for your words 👊
When ı meet someone, “i always think he/she will my exam,or me will be their exams.” This turn every action of minebe humble...
Thank you so much for your passion on stoicism and sharing these extremely powerful lessons! I repeatedly come back to your videos and website for reminders. Your work has profoubdly changed my life and put so many things in perspective. Thank you!
No matter how many times I watch this, I can't help but be amazed that a young man who is decades younger than me has almost single-handedly helped me change my life. I am now near the end of a 14-day state-mandated quarantine due to a neighbor testing positive for COVID-19. We received five-minutes notice that we could not go anywhere for the next 14 days. For almost two weeks, now, all I've been able to do is smile and say, "Amor Fati. This is the best f**kin' thing ever to happen to me. I LOVE it!" I even bought the amor fati coin. Take my word for it: you don't have to be crazy to think like this. Ryan, you rate ranks above the rest! Thank you.🙏❤
In self-isolation at the moment. This helps, thank you 🙏🏼
Is this similar to Buddhism?
If you live thinking about the past, you'll live in regret.
If you live worrying about the future, you'll live in fear.
If you live in the now.. you will be at peace.
💖👍
Stoicism + Buddhism = Love and Peace
You don’t have to be a monk to be Buddhist
@Bac si Gà bé yet they're living a purposeful/ meaningful life. They chose it and they're happy with it.
@Bac si Gà bé you alot of that on la streets. but they arent monks
Jan 26th was about a Mantra, did not expect to find your official youtube channel but happy I did :) just started my stoic handbook/meditation that will hopefully continue all year, and continue to guide the rest of my life.
This opened my eyes about Stoicism. I always saw it as a logical way to deny feeling, but amor fati really brings a different context that actually it's great to feel and love these things, deeply.
Thanks, I needed this to my life. It appeared on the right moment.
I have been a stoic this whole time and never knew it
I know what you mean. My whole life I never knew it.
It’s just.....wow like finally. I’ve been looking something that my entourage couldn’t understand

@@lovealways2609 But we are not fish. We have the capacity to express in various ways.
I needed to hear this, some evil people did something really dirty to me, I’ve been trying to come to terms with it. Their lies put me in jail, I’ve lost my drivers license , I’m on probation for several months.,,and I’ve never been in trouble my entire life....yet here I am.
Sorry man, I think watching the movie Count of Montecristo might be very therapeutical for you. Many innocents are imprisoned ... But we can build our character
You can’t control whether the viewer is able to “get your message” but this viewer did. Insightful post, thanks.
“The most sagacious one from among you is he who remembers death the most, and the most prudent one from among you is he who is the most prepared for it.”
Please keep these coming ryan!!!
Came at the best time. Going through tough shit and these principles will help me get through them.
Just began listening to your videos and completely new to stoicism. This resonates with me deeply and thank you for your words
Brilliant insight to make a daily part of my way in the world. Thanks.🇿🇦🙏
Thank you very much for this upload.
Telling myself "Remember you will die" has gotten me through life since childhood... in my bleakest moments knowing that I don't have to exist on this mortal plane forever has brought me a lot of comfort. Admittedly, its not always the healthiest to lean on exclusively so I'm happy to have a few others I can use now.
This is exactly what I need ❤ I'm tired I'm stressed, I'm frustrated.. but then momento tori
