One of my favorites is "It's not that life is too short but that we waist most of it".

Two years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. This has helped. I was cancer-free for one year. Now I find myself back in the posture of having left about 3-4 months of life. This helps, thank you

You'd give it less meaning if you learned it from school.
"Don’t explain your philosophy. Embody it." - Epictetus
"Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking."
Epictetus : If you wish to improve appear clueless or stupid. This takes the burning fuse out of conversations or discussions. It also gives time to think through what the other person has said or the judgement they or oneself makes of the opinion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Failure is the effort needed to move forward

i can relate. i had one who was my lifelong friend-over 40 yrs. And she just randomly ended our friendship without a word or any explanation. I tried to reach out many times, apologize if I upset her in some way, but she blocked me from every way I had to contact her. Last time I saw her was a vacation my daughter & I went on w her family in 2015. 😢We had such a great time & were supposed to go again the next yr. We did, but not together, & didn't see each other. It's such a waste. Life is too short to throw ppl away.

Thank you for the video, I found out that investing is not for everybody, you just need a strong stomach too see your portfolio go down. It might be wiser for a novice to start with copy trading investing, but it is not easy. To invest in growth stocks it is another level, definitely you need to know what are you doing.

From my own point of view, you need to invest smartly if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $255k in raw profits from just 6 months into the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy, mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key for short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.

She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial advisor as her diversification skills are top notch, because i see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis, unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along, my portfolio just mirrors what she trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.

That's one small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind.
"Difficulties strengthen the mind as labor does the body." One of my favorite quotes. Never satisfied always hungry for more. That's the mentality we all need!
What Marcus Aurelius says is amazing both in context and as a one liner.
The things you think about terming the quality of your mind your soul takes on the color of your thoughts

Really enjoyed this video format 💪🏻 it’s similar to the Mulligan Brothers video.
My favourite quote: "You don't have to turn it into something, it DOESN'T have to upset you." This was very important for me personally.
Ryan. Help! I've heard you say a story about someone whose workshop was on fire. Instead of complaining, in the moment, they brought out their family and said "Look. This is the best fire you'll ever see". Who said this? 🙏🙏

I would say, "One who conquers himself conquers all." The battles within oneself - such as overcoming fears, doubts, negative thoughts, or harmful habits - are often more challenging than external struggles. Overcoming these internal battles can lead to a more profound sense of accomplishment and strength.

Great video. Any thoughts on this piece of wisdom I came up with myself (others my have come up with it separately too): "live each day as if you were at the end of your life, your death bed basically, and God (or the universe) came to you and offered you the opportunity to live this single day over again". Is that any good?
@dm4life579

Yes, this is great wisdom. In Islam, sleep is considered "The Minor Death" and every day, waking up to live another day is a gift from God. Your own quote reflects in stoicism through Memento Mori, I have not seen these exact words or phrases but the sentiment and the wisdom is there. "Live each day as if you were the end of your life, returning to your grave at the end. When you wake up, be thankful that God provided you with another day to live. Will you return to your usual grave or a new, eternal one?"
