  • Rule 22 - Define what success means to you👇 - 50 Stoicism Rules Series

    Is anybody listening yet? Who am I kidding? No one because no one wants to hear anybody else's shit! That is by design. If anybody could talk and the world would listen then we would come to stand still. Only shit that does something for us will get a chance to be listened to. What if this weird podcast can you take to a place that no one else can? Would that be something that would interest you? With that said. Define your success. My success is obviously not having lots of listeners for my podcast 😆 but what is success is being able, to be honest with myself and others, being genuine, being kind, and being grateful. Learning to love others. Being able to see the good in people. Being able to grow. Being able to forgive myself. Success is learning to be in the moment. Success is learning to do your best. Success is not being perfect at all these but continuously striving to be better at them!


    With that said. Let's continue our journey to a higher place ❤️

  • Rule 21 - Focus 🧘 on process, not 🛑 outcomes - 50 Stoicism Rules Series

    One of those rules I would score very low on but is so critical to achieving anything worthwhile or creating something beautiful.


    Rule number 21, "Focus on process, not outcomes," from Ryan Holiday's "50 (Short) Rules For Life From The Stoics," emphasizes the importance of directing our attention and efforts towards the actions we can control rather than fixating on the results we desire. The Stoics believed that external circumstances are often beyond our control, but our choices and actions are within our power. By focusing on the process and the actions we take, rather than solely on the outcomes, we can cultivate resilience, personal growth, and a sense of fulfillment, regardless of the final results. - ChatGPT

        • Rule 17 - The best revenge is not to be like that 😎 - 50 Stoicism Rules Series

          Me telling somebody about my podcast and then telling them I uploaded another episode:


          The other person: "Really?! Another one? Why? Were the other episodes so successful??"


          With that said. Oh boy how important is it important not to get back at people! Also, doesn't this rule encapsulate the solution to our behavior during road rage?

          Why do we have such a hard time letting go when somebody does us wrong? I think it is because we haven't been convinced that NOT being like the person who did us wrong is simply the best way to go. I think for me everything changed once I was able to see how the people I admire and the person I wanted to be like were somebody who could not only move on but focus on things that actually matter and make a real positive influence on our lives. Why am I wasting time being angry at another person? No, thank you! I am good and I feel bad you are so upset.

        • Rule 15 - 🛑 Don’t compare yourself to others - 50 Stoicism Rules Series

          Social media! Nothing fuels toxic comparisons quite like social media. However, it is not social media's fault. We simply need to learn how to genuinely be happy for others. Moreover, we must recognize that people who post on social media are not necessarily happy themselves. In fact, it is more likely that constant posting indicates unhappiness compared to having no desire to post at all.


          Well, this episode mostly deviates from the aforementioned (word chosen by chatgpt) topic 😆


          Also, we still have no listeners... 😞
