# 125 - Listen More, Talk Less! Zeno of Citium

In todays episode I share the quote from the founder of The Stoic School of Philosophy, Zeno of Citium. Zeno was born in 335 BC in Cyprus. I love this quote:

“The reason why we only have two ears and one mouth, is so we might listen more and talk less!” 

Someone we all need to heed. We learn so much more when we shut up and read, listen and take in.

Enjoy.

"Faith and Fear Both Require You to Believe in Something You Cannot See!" Bob Proctor

In todays episode I talk you through the above quote and how we have a choice to feel fear or have and feel faith in our future.

Both of these require you to believe in something you cannot see or touch. When you have fear it leads to anxiety and eventually depression if you are there too long.

This podcast will help you move from that fear to understanding and faith.

# 123 - When You Are Grounded You Don't Look Outside For Approval - Epictetus

In todays episode I explore the powerful Epictetus quote: “When someone is properly grounded in life, they shouldn't have to look outside themselves for approval.”

When we know who we are and where we want to go we don't need approval from others.

Its only when we are lost and don't know who we are that we look for attention and approval from others.

Enjoy today's lesson.

"Don't Allow Yourself to Be Heard Griping About Public Life." Marcus Aurelius

In todays episode I discuss the Marcus Aurelius quote: “Don’t allow yourself to be heard any longer griping about public life, not even with your own ears!”

Complaining just hands your power to an outside source so stop doing it. We watch the news or read a newspaper or scroll on social media and there it is. That thing that triggers you.

Stop watching, let it go, just do your own thing and you will find peace there. Enjoy.

Challenge: Stop Caring What Other People Think of You!

In todays episode I give you a challenge that comes from a quote by Marcus Aurelius: 

"The tranquility that comes when you stop caring what they say. Or think, or do. Only what YOU do!"

Worrying what others think of us is something that holds us all back in life. Marcus talks about the tranquility of not caring what others think. Just worry about you. 

Your challenge for the week, should you choose to accept is, in your journal each night write down how you handled not caring about what others think. Did you handle it ok? Or did you worry? Do this for a week and watch as your week changes. Do this, it will really help!

"You Have Power Over Your Mind, Not Outside Events." Marcus Aurelius

In this episode I discuss the Marcus Aurelius quote: "You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realise this, and you will find strength." Marcus Aurelius

When we realise that we can't control anyone or anything we find our real power. Control your own world. Create your own life. That is all we can do. Enjoy.

The Last of the Human Freedoms - Viktor Frankl

In todays episode I talk you through one of the most powerful quotes ever! Taken from Viktor Frankl's best selling book 'Man's Search For Meaning" it is:

"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way." Viktor Frankl

His book is must reading for everyone. How he survived in Nazi concentration camps is a credit to his will power and his perception.

He would look at cockroaches and admire their beauty. He would always look for blessings in the worst of circumstances.

We complain about our own lives when we get stuck in traffic or we get overlooked for a promotion at work. We really are an entitled generation.

If you want success in life in general start changing the way you look at things. Stop complaining and start seeing the blessings and gifts you have in your life.

Enjoy.
