In a captivating conversation, Walt Thiessen and Joel Elston delved into the profound depths of stoicism, the law of attraction, and the transformative power of living in the present moment. Their discussion, brimming with insights and personal experiences, offered a glimpse into the life-changing potential of embracing the philosophy of Marcus Aurelius and harnessing the energy of the “now.”

The conversation began with Walt’s fascination over the Roman emperor’s deep connection to the principles of stoicism. Joel, a self-proclaimed practitioner of this ancient wisdom, eloquently explained how Marcus Aurelius’ teachings have influenced modern-day thinkers and the law of attraction movement. “He lit it on fire,” Joel exclaimed, referring to Aurelius’ profound impact on the stoic philosophy.

As the discussion unfolded, Walt and Joel explored the common misconception that stoicism is devoid of emotion. Joel clarified this misconception, emphasizing that stoicism is not about suppressing emotions but rather about accepting them and moving forward. “It’s simply about accepting. You know, basically, stoicism in a nutshell is all this has happened. Let’s turn the page and move forward,” he explained.

The conversation then delved into the powerful intersection of stoicism and the law of attraction, with Joel highlighting the parallels between the two. “A lot of Marcus Aurelius’ quotes, you know, we’re the various, particularly Greek philosophers, they are very much to me, they it sounded like law of attraction,” he shared, drawing a compelling connection between the two philosophies.

One of the key takeaways from the discussion was the emphasis on the power of the present moment. Walt and Joel emphasized that the only time we have true control over is the “now,” and it is within this moment that we can harness the energy of manifestation. Joel passionately expressed, “The only action you can take is stuff that’s in your direct control. And the the remedy toward any anxiety or any problem to me is action taking action relieves that.”

The conversation also touched on the importance of perspective and mindset in achieving desired outcomes. Joel shared a personal story of facing financial challenges, where he chose to take action instead of succumbing to the temptation of gambling. This decision ultimately led to a serendipitous opportunity that resolved his financial woes. “The idea that once I decided now, I didn’t manifest by sitting in my house. But I was I was given the opportunity to take an action that alleviated that,” he recounted.

Throughout the discussion, Walt and Joel grappled with the concept of “toxic positivity,” where individuals ignore problems instead of addressing them. They emphasized the importance of acknowledging challenges while maintaining a positive and proactive mindset. As Joel eloquently stated, “Positivity is not a negative term. And you’re saying toward positivity is the ignoring piece. It’s the ignoring piece, whereas are those things, there’s a lot of things that aren’t going to go away.”

The conversation concluded with a powerful reminder of the transformative potential of the present moment. Walt and Joel’s shared experiences and insights serve as a testament to the life-changing impact of embracing the principles of stoicism and the law of attraction. As they navigated the complexities of manifestation, personal responsibility, and emotional management, they offered a roadmap for individuals seeking to unlock the true power of the “now.”
