"You could be good today but instead you choose tomorrow." -Marcus Aurelius

In this context, one of my favorite quotes is that of my favorite stoic philosopher, Seneca "The fool, with all his other faults, has this also, he is always getting ready to live."

Unfortunately, I spent much of my life being a fool, always getting ready to live. Fortunately, that is no longer the case for me. Now, I am living today.

It is your determination and persistence that will make you a successful person.. Good job and all the BEST to you.

Momento mori brothers💪🏻

Memento*

Worthwhile reminder. Always timely.

Love this Ryan. Concise, poignant, and convicting. Just what I need.

One of the most egregious errors we make is the arrogance of thinking we have more time.

Good stuff, brother

Let me watch this movie tomorrow. Tomorrow sounds like a good day to start improving myselfs :-)

Great meditation to start the day=]

Momento Mori. 💀💀💀Live life.

it is the memento mori attitude of the stoics I have the biggest problem with.... As an ADHD person, stoicism is kinda helpful to me. But I've spent my entire life lamenting and regretting and beating me up about not reaching my full potential, not delivering on what I expect myself to, let alone others. Not "living my life to the fullest". This led to depression and anxiety. I had too free myself from that pressure to finally feel better. This memento mori attitude however is playing the same strings, and I don't want the pressure.... I CAN'T have the pressure, if I actually want to achieve things in life!

Firstly, I empathize with your struggles. However, I don't think the idea is to absolutely live life to the fullest and make that giant leap from 0-100 in a day. The idea is for us to just keep improving, every single day, a quest to better ourselves. If for some reason, you can only manage one step a day while you watch others take a hundred, take that single step with so you have, and go to bed knowing that you improved over your previous self, coz that's the only person you should be competing against, not any other person out there in the world. I wish you all the light this world has to offer🎉😊

Great

Is there a book on the Bible you would recommend for Stoic principles

man I really love this channel and these videos but y'all really gotta work on the abrupt ass endings 😂

I think its James 4:14

This is existentialism

I was putting off clicking on this video but accidentally pressed on it , so true

You could get a phone call from your doctor or loved on, literally while you're reading this comment, that will completely upend and reset your priorities. Don't wait for life to remind you of mortality, live life remembering you and yours are no more permanent or real than a subatomic particle that blips in and out of existence.

Wjat if this life is too sad and more a curse than a blessing. I've lost too many ppl. This video doesn't begin to address this.

Amor fati - you're not meant to be great and it's ok.

Live like you are dying. Every day...

Wabi Sabi y'all ;-}

Life is a rip off. Whatever dude. I take full responsibility for my self and every decision I’ve made and going to make. Of course they’re all wrong and in hindsight I would do nothing the same, nevertheless, here I stand screaming frick you still. Thanks for not 1 fucken thing
