How To Build Self Discipline - Marcus Aurelius (Stoicism)
In this video we will be talking about 10 important insights for building your Self Discipline from the writings of Marcus Aurelius. He was also a devout student of the philosophy of Stoicism. During his rule, Aurelius found the time to construct a series of autobiographical writings, now known as the Meditations. In these writings, the Marcus Aurelius offered a number of key insights on how to build self discipline.
So here are 10 important insights for self discipline from Marcus Aurelius.
1. Self Discipline starts with finding your purpose
2. Count on yourself
3. Show up every day
4. Practice voluntary hardship
5. Practice dichotomy of control
6. Never play the victim
7. Practice delayed gratification
8. Ignore naysayers
9. Find wise people to emulate
10. Honestly review your day
I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope you find these insights very insights very helpful to for your self discipline.
Even though Marcus Aurelius wrote it 2,000 years ago - his insights on Stoicism still carry strong weight today. Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the early 3rd century BC. Even though it is over 2000 years old, more and more people are discovering how Stoicism is not only relevant to modern times, but can be applied in very simple, yet strong ways.

@hex warp Mass migration to primarily white nations like the US and those in Europe. Western civilizations/societies that have been built over the last millennium or several centuries will be unrecognizable in 40 years maximum - if policy and migration continue the way they are currently. Examples of this can been seen in, but not limited to the US, Ireland, and Sweden. Whites Europeans in the US have gone from 90% of the population in 1960 to roughly 60% today - this is significant. Ireland has a population of 4.7 million and plans to accept 1 million migrants by 2040 - this is significant. Sweden has a population of 10 million and has offered asylum to 10 million Turkish Uighurs from China - this is significant. These migrants will out breed the native population rendering them minorities in their homelands thus changing the regions and cultures indefinitely. These native populations are being replaced right before our eyes. Saying that whites are native to North America/US isn't entirely factual but whites primarily built the US where as these replacing populations are inheriting western societies - being given to them by elites and politicians. "Focusing on these two striking and critical trends, the report examines in detail the case of eight low-fertility countries (France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, United Kingdom and United States) and two regions (Europe and the European Union). In each case, alternative scenarios for the period 1995-2050 are considered, highlighting the impact that various levels of immigration would have on population size and population ageing." - the UN www.un.org/press/en/2000/20000317.dev2234.doc.html

So this week, I went another step further with my running, tackling an uphill slope exatcly in the middle for the first time, I was past 20 minutes, the dopamine was flowing alright, still I was a little anxious about it. An uleashed dog feels it's a good idea to chase me at exactly THAT point! The smart thing would be to stop running, right, but, no, no, no, you won't, no excuses girlfriend, only when that mutt had snatched at my shirt, I felt I had no other option. Tbh, I doubt I was wise, maybe there can be such a thing as too much discipline too. I went up anyway, after I had finished nearly slapping the holder into the face . Well. ... :D

Learning to ignore negative influence, particularly within your family, is a big step to achieving this. It is hard to break the cycle of mediocrity, but it is always possible
I load trucks for a living. Its the most physically demanding job ive ever had. Most of us are exhausted after a few hours- with a few more hellish hot & heavy hours to go. & im 51 years old 😀 I use the painful hours as a way to reinforce my resolve. Theres no point in complaining. Theres no point in quitting. The only thing to pursue is moving & stacking the mattresses, bbq grills, generators, trampolines, bag of dog food & whatever else comes down the belt. Once you accept the pain, it gets easier. Its miserable work, but i dig it. & videos like these give me things to contemplate while working!

This list is extremely powerful. I know this because I tried purpose and working hard. The result is miraculous. There’s a lot of confusion about finding purpose.

Epictetus’ the art of living! One of the best books I’ve read. He mentored Marcus Aurelius
My dad would tell me "...You can't think your way into a new way of acting, you must act your way into a new way of thinking..." and "any motivation is good motivation" and "you don't need to understand it to see the effects, you just need to do." (I'm not sure where he got these from or if it's his own interpretation of someone else but It took me a while to really understand these in practice).
Yes be grateful everyday. It really helps no matter where in life you are. It takes practice but it works especially if things are looking bleak at the moment❤️🌎

Delayed gratification i.e. cut up your credit card and buy only what you can afford and wait untill you have the money. STAY OUT OF DEBT.

This is an honest opinion, but it also comes from a perspective that can be refined into a win. There is no need to cut up your card if u manage your charges&payments.It's a great tool if used properly. It will save u lots of money when buying a car or house. Without credit, or huge amounts of cash, you won't be buying a house. Or you will paying a significant higher amount than someone with good to excellent credit. Buy with your credit card then immediately pay that bill with your cash.

I just started reading The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman this year. 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living. It was on the free list of my daily Bookbub e-mail and I thought what the heck. Now, this practice is showing up a lot on my computer. People tell me that I am a stoic person but I don't think they really understand what it means. To them, I guess it means that I don't show my emotions, but I learned a long time ago I can't control the world so I just live my life. The philosophers and their thinking is something I have never touched on before and I am finding all this very interesting. I am receiving so much new information and I know this is going to become a life-long study for me.
This is how I got good at playing video games, practicing every day.

Thank you so much for this video! It is the most helpful thing I have got in a long time!
I've had this in my Watch Later list for awhile. But only just getting to #2 all I'm thinking is DO IT. JUST... DO IT. DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS.
This is pure gold. Embed these words onto your brain, and there is absolutely nothing you can't achieve. Go get it.
I’ve saved dozens of videos about self discipline and procrastination to my Watch Later list to be watched some other day

Actually watching this while procrastinating, my finals being a week away. I find great joy in this irony, maybe this is my purpose ?
It fascinates me how much my mental and physical health has improved since I started using the Forwago. And I was not even thinking that there is something to be improved lolll. Definitely more people should find out about this program.
The only video I need every week to keep myself motivated.
Focus on your road ahead, not the steps of those who walk beside you.

Excellent advice.
1. Find your purpose or reason of doing a task. 2. Make a actionable plan for accomplishing the goal and you will whatever it takes to achieve that task. 3. What you avoid leads to thinking that particular task is overwhelming and overwhelming leads to Procrastinatio. When there is Procrastination, there js stagnation and when there js stagnation self discipline cannot exist. 4. You must show up everyday. 5. Self discipline is the act of showing up everyday consistently. It doesn't have to be perfect. 6. Make your life uncomfortable by doing small things everyday. 7. Make sure that there are random milestone when completing a long task. 8. Just witness what you have control over and what not. You will realize that mind is under control. You can observe it, give instructions, make clarity, ask questions, and you will find strength. 9. Never play the victim. Strength is in Responsibility 10. Don't listen to others. They don't know much about you. 11. Review your day - ask questions, look where you did good. 12. Forgive yourself
I saved this video as watch later and pulled it to the top of the list. I just came back after months watching it again and damn it's motivating as frick. I immediatly went back on my grind.
This gave me true self reflection. Thank you✌🏾❤️
That's the best video on Stoicism I've ever seen.
I just found this and I’ve listened to it now about five times so far and I’m about to go back for my six-time today. I need to listen to this 100 times a day every day in my life. Thank you thank you so much please make more tapes like this. Thank you

I need you to understand self discipline is the main thing. It's the ultimate demon, it's the hardest thing to conquer because once done you can conquer ANYTHING. Everything comes down to self discipline, changing your body, making money, drug addictions. You're capable of so much so don't let those voices in your head keep you back. You deserve everything you want it just all comes down to discipline don't give up. Anyway I just made a video on all this and went in deep I would appreciate if you checked it out, thanks 🙏
I am back to this video for the second time in a month as it helps me reconnect. Self-discipline is critical to one's purpose and success. Getting mentors or coaches (wise people) to guide us on this journey is also very important Voluntary discomfort eg fasting, cold shower or early morning wake up can create mental toughness Critics will always be there - whether you do good, bad or nothing so ignore the naysayers and just do it. The list goes on. Thank you for always sharing value on your channel.
I believe I gained some stoic characteristics naturally through life and experiences. A lot of things in this video come naturally and reminds me of how I think on a daily. I cant wait to study stoicism because it all so relatable.

So many people in this current time period should hear these words and use them in their lives.
I had never heard of Marcus Aurelius and his meditations until I found this channel. Thank you!

Marcus Aurelius believed in the Roman gods and said so. But like many polytheists he also believed in a higher power (higher than the gods) who he referred to as Reason, the Kosmos, and Providence. It is the higher power that is sometimes translated as “God”.
Thanks so much for making this video. I watch this almost every day.

You have to restructure your notion of will. Willing yourself to do something doesn’t necessarily have to be something excruciating. If you keep your mind focused, truly focused, on a task before beginning it, it will be almost automatic when you actually do it. There’s nothing wrong with that. We have been conditioned into believing that overcoming difficulty is an accomplishment. It is sometimes, but not always.

It’s not common sense What’s common to you is not common to others. Everyone is bought up different I don’t believe in common sense I actually don’t say that to anyone anymore
Voluntary hardship: throw your phone in the drawer or go without social media. You and i have very different ideas of hardship my friend. Good video helpful and compact info. Nice job
Thank you! Excellent rundown of Marcus' wisdom.
Great video! I think this could help everybody. Over a decade ago I decided that my greatest resource is myself. My goals won’t be achieved by waiting around for someone else to do the work for me.
Honestly it’s about getting up and DOING IT. Not just it, but the NEXT thing. Then the NEXT thing. Although I FEEL contempt or anxious or lazy, I will still do it. The good feelings come later (:
Thank you for all of the videos. Helps me so much.
I really should study for my exams... Oh look, a video about self discipline!
Very helpful video. Thank you so much. It was almost like talking to an old friend that reminded me of values that I had when I was younger. It's hard to keep these principles active in everyday life. I appreciate the kick up the arse. Much needed.
Thank you. I can't even begin to describe the impact this video has already had on my life. It's all information I already know but desperately needed to hear and have laid out before me as a reminder and motivator. Again, thank you so much. I've shared this link with all of those I feel may need the same kick in the soul :)
Simply amazing; one of my favourite videos! The principles, as well as the method chosen to deliver them is gripping. Thank you for this video.

I watched this because I want to be more focused and disciplined myself, there's a lot of toxicity that comes with the current "grind mentality" and people not enjoying their life as it passes or losing their friends over that money/goal remember to find a balance friends :)
I’m an above average worker, but when I’m in charge to start one of my own projects, I procrastinate and put shit off, both my parents were hard workers, I’m ready to figure this out
