  Speaker 1: for more stoicism related content. Let's get started. Lessen one
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: focus on what you can control. One of the core
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: teachings of stoicism is the dichotomy of control, the distinction
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: between what is in our power and what is not.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Many things in life are not in our power. External events,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: other people's opinions, the past, the future, and so on.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: These things are unpredictable, uncertain, and often beyond our influence.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Trying to control them is futile and frustrating. It only
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: leads to stress, anxiety, anger, and disappointment. On the other hand,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: some things in life are in our power. Our thoughts, actions, reactions, choices,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and so on. These things are under our direct control.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: We can decide how to think, what to do, how
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to respond, and what to choose. We can shape them
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: according to our values, goals, and preferences. Focusing on them
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: is empowering and rewarding. It leads to peace, confidence, productivity,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and happiness. The Stoics advise us to focus on what
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: we can control and let go of what we can't.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: This way, we can make the best use of our
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: time and energy and avoid wasting them on things that
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: are irrelevant, unimportant, or harmful. We can also cope better
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: with the challenges and difficulties that life throws at us
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and turn them into opportunities for growth and improvement. Here
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: are some practical tips on how to focus on what
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you can control. Identify what is in your power and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: what is not. Make a list of the things that
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you can control and the things that you can't. Be
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: honest and realistic with yourself. Don't assume that you have
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: more or less control than you actually do. Accept what
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: is not in your power and let it go. Don't resist, complain,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: or worry about the things that you can't control. Accept
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: them as they are and move on. Don't let them
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: affect your mood, your self esteem, or your decisions. Remember
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that they are not your responsibility and they don't define you.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Take action on what is in your power and improve it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Do something about the things that you can control. Use
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: your skills, talents, and resources to create value, solve problems,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and achieve your goals. Seek feedback, learn from your mistakes,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and keep improving. Remember that you are responsible for your
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: own life, and you can make it better. Lesson to
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: live according to your values. Another important lesson that stoicism
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: teaches us is to live according to our values. Values
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: are the principles that guide our decisions and actions and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: reflect our character and purpose. They are the standards that
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: we set for ourselves and the criteria that we use
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to evaluate our success and happiness. They are what make
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: us who we are and what we want to be.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Living according to our values is essential for living a
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: meaningful and fulfilling life. It gives us direction, clarity, and motivation.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: It helps us align our actions with our goals and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: our goals with our vision. It helps us create a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: positive impact on ourselves and others. It helps us live
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: with with integrity, authenticity, and dignity. However, numerous men struggle
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to adhere to their principles. Instead, they conform to societal
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: expectations or norms, following the crowd, trends or the status quo.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: They pursue trivial matters or ventures that contradict their values.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: In doing so, they compromise, disregard, or even forget their
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: core beliefs. Consequently, they lead lives that aren't authentic to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: them and fail to find fulfillment. The stoics warn us
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: against this trap and urge us to live according to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: our values. They remind us that we have the power
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and the responsibility to choose our values and to act
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: on them. They encourage us to live a life that
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: is true to ourselves and that reflects our highest ideals.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Here are some practical tips on how to live according
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to your values. Identify your core values and prioritize them.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Make a list of the values that are most important
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to you and that define your identity and purpose. Rank
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: them in order of importance, and select the top three
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: or five values that you want to focus on. These
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: are your core values and they should guide your decisions
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and actions. Align your actions with your values and be consistent.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Do the things that are consistent with your values and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: avoid the things that are not. Be intentional and deliberate
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: with your actions, and make sure that they match your values.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Don't let external factors or influences sway you from your values.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Be consistent and faithful to your values, and don't compromise
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: them for Anythingvaluate your progress and adjust accordingly. Periodically review
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: your actions and outcomes and see how well they align
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: with your values. Ask yourself if you are living according
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to your values, and if you are happy and satisfied
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: with your life. If not, identify the gaps and the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: areas for improvement, and make the necessary changes. If yes,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: celebrate your achievements and reinforce your values. Lesson three, Seek
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: wisdom not knowledge. A third lesson that stoicism teaches us
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: is to seek wisdom not knowledge. Knowledge is the accumulation
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: of facts and information, while wisdom is the application of
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: knowledge to real life situations. Knowledge is knowing what, when, where,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and how, while wisdom is knowing why and what for
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: knowledge is having a lot of data, while wisdom is
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: having a lot of in sight. Seeking wisdom, not knowledge
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: is important for living a better life. It helps us
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: solve problems, make better decisions, avoid mistakes, and grow as
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: a person. It helps us understand ourselves, others, and the world.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: It helps us find meaning, purpose and happiness. Yet many
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: individuals pursue information rather than wisdom. They amss a wealth
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: of facts, but struggle to employ them efficiently. Reading numerous
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: books is their habit, yet applying the acquired knowledge eludes them.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Memorizing countless facts is their forte, yet comprehending their implications
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: remains a challenge. Their quest for knowledge often stems from
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a desire for its own sake or to impress others. Consequently,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: they may become conceited, superficial, unfocused, and ultimately stagnate. The
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Stoics advise us to seek wisdom, not knowledge. They remind
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: us that knowledge is useless unless it is used for good.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: They teach us that wisdom is the ultimate goal and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the highest good. They encourage us to seek wisdom for
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the sake of improving ourselves and our lives. Here are
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: some practical tips on how to seek wisdom not knowledge.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Read books that challenge your thinking and offer practical advice.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Don't just read books that are easy, entertaining, or popular.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Read books that are difficult, enlightening, or timeless. Read books
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that make you think, question, and reflect. Read books that
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: give you useful tips, strategies, and examples on how to
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: live a better life. Learn from your own and others
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: experiences and feedback. Don't just rely on books or other
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: sources of infant Learn from your own experiences and from
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the experiences of others. Learn from your successes and failures,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and from the successes and failures of others. Learn from
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the feedback and criticism that you receive, and from the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: feedback and criticism that you give. Learn from the people
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: who are wiser, smarter, or more experienced than you. Ask
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: questions and seek guidance from mentors and experts. Don't just
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: assume that you know everything or that you can figure
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: everything out by yourself. Ask questions and seek answers. Ask
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: questions that are relevant, meaningful, and challenging. Seek answers that
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: are accurate, reliable, and helpful. Ask questions and seek guidance
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: from people who are wiser, smarter, or more experienced than you.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Seek mentors and ex experts who can teach you, advise you,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and inspire you. Lesson for be grateful not resentful. A
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: fourth lesson that stoicism teaches us is to be grateful,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: not resentful. Gratitude is the appreciation of what we have
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and what we receive, regardless of the circumstances. Gratitude is
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: recognizing the good in our lives and expressing our thanks
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: for it. Gratitude is being content with what we have
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and not craving for more. Being grateful not resentful is
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: important for living a happier and healthier life. It makes
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: us more positive, optimistic, and joyful. It makes us more generous, compassionate,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and forgiving. It makes us more resilient, adaptable, and hopeful. Nevertheless,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: many men harbor resentment rather than gratitude, find discontent in
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: their possessions and envy those of others. Their demeanor is
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: characterized by bitterness, anger, and complaint. They exhibit selfishness, greed,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and ingratitude. Their disposition appears weak, inflexible, and devoid of hope.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: The stoics warn us against this trap and urge us
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to be grateful, not resentful. They remind us that we
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: have more than we need and more than we deserve.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: They teach us that gratitude is the best attitude and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the greatest virtue. They encourage us to be grateful for
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: everything and to everyone. Here are some practical tips on
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: how to be grateful not resentful. Keep a gratitude journal
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and write down what you are thankful for every day.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Don't just think about it, write it down. Write down
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: at least three things that you are grateful for every day,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: no matter how big or small. Write down why you
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: are grateful for them and how they make you feel.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Write down what you learned from them and how they
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: improved your life. Express your gratitude to others and show
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: your appreciation. Don't just keep it to yourself, share it
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: with others. Express your gratitude to the people who have
• 13:24

• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Stoic lessons. Lesson five be self reliant not dependent. A
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: fifth lesson that Stoicism teaches us is to be self
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: reliant not dependent. Self reliance is the ability to rely
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: on ourselves and our own resources without depending on others
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: or external factors. Self reliance is being independent and responsible, creative,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and adaptable. Being self reliant, not dependent, is important for
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: living a more successful and satisfying life. It makes us
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: more confident, capable, and ambitious. It makes us more productive, innovative,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: and resourceful. It makes us more flexible, resilient, and prepared. However,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: many men exhibit dependency rather than self reliance. They depend
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: on others and external factors for their happiness, security, and success,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: seeking support, approval, or guidance from their parents, partners, friends,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: or bosses. Their identity, value or worth is often tied
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: to their money, possessions, status, or fame. Additionally, their actions, choices,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: or results are often dictated by their habits, routines, comfort zones,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: or excuses, leading them to become needy, passive, complacent, and vulnerable.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: The stoics warn us against this trap and urge us
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to be self reliant, not dependent. They remind us that
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: we have the power and the responsibility to create our
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: own happiness, security, and success. They teach us that self
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: reliance is the key to freedom, dignity, and excellence. They
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: encourage us to rely on ourselves and our own resources
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and to improve them. Here are some practical tips on
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: how to be self reliant, not dependent. Develop your skills
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and talents and use them to create value. Don't just
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: rely on your natural abilities or on the skills and
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: talents of others. Develop your own skills and talents and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: use them to create value for yourself and others. Learn
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: new skills, master new talents, and apply them to real

• 17:15
  Speaker 1: or on the money of others. Manage your own finances
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and save for the future. Spend less than you earn
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and save more than you spend. Invest your money wisely
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and diversify your income sources. Save for emergencies, opportunities, and retirement.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Be financially independent and secure. Take care of your health
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and well being. Don't just rely on your genetics or
• 17:42

• 17:45
  Speaker 1: of your own health and well being and improve them.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Eat well, exercise regularly, sleep enough, and avoid unhealthy habits.
• 17:55

• 18:07
  Speaker 1: be humble not proud. A sixth lesson that stoicism teaches
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: us is to be humble, not proud. Humility is the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: recognition of our limitations and flaws, and the willingness to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: learn and improve. Humility is being modest, respectful, and open minded.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Humility is being teachable, curious, and grateful. Being humble not

• 18:43
  Speaker 1: makes us more teachable, adaptable, and grateful. It makes us
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: more aware, realistic, and honest. However, many men exhibit pride
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: rather than humility. They display traits of over confidence, arrogance,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and closed mindedness. They appear unteachable, rigid, and ungrateful, often
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: lacking awareness, harboring delusions, and being dishonest. They tend to
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: presume knowledge in all matters, believe they are capable of
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: handling everything, and feel entitled to everything. Moreover, they tend
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: to look down on others, resist feedback, and take credit
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: for everything. The stoics warn us against this trap and
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: urge us to be humble, not proud. They remind us
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: that we are not perfect, We are not superior, and
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: we are not entitled. They teach us that humility is
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the foundation of wisdom, virtue, and excellence. They encourage us
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to be humble in our thoughts, words, and actions. Here
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: are some practical tips on how to be humble not proud.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Admit your mistakes and apologize when you are wrong. Don't
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: just nigh, justify or blame your mistakes. Admit them and
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: apologize for them. Learn from them and avoid repeating them.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Don't let your pride get in the way of your improvement.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Be humble enough to say I was wrong, I am sorry,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I will do better. Seek feedback and criticism and act
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: on it. Don't just ignore, reject, or resent feedback and criticism,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: seek them and act on them. Ask for feedback and
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: criticism from others and listen to them, Evaluate them and
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: use them to improve yourself. Don't let your pride get
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: in the way of your learning. Be humble enough to
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: say I don't know I need help. I will learn.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Learn from others and acknowledge their contributions. Don't just compete, compare,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: or copy others. Learn from them and acknowledge their contributions.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Learn from the people who are wiser, smarter, or more
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: experienced than you. Learn from their successes and failures, and
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: from their strengths and weaknesses. Acknowledge their achievements and efforts,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: and thank them for their help. Don't let your pride
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: get in the way of your growth. Be humble enough
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: to say I admire you, I appreciate you, I will
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: follow you. Lesson seven, Be courageous, not fearful. A seventh
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and final lesson that stoicism teaches us is to be courageous,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: not fearful. Courage is the willingness to face our fears
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: and overcome our challenges despite the risks and uncertainties. Courage
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: is being confident, adventurous, ambitious, and successful. Being courageous not
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: fearful is important for living a more fulfilling, and rewarding life.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: It makes us more confident, adventurous, and ambitious. It makes
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: us more productive, innovative, and successful. It makes us more prepared, proactive,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: and positive. Nevertheless, many men exhibit fear rather than courage.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Afraid of their fears, they shy away from challenges, displaying timidity, caution,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: and mediocrity. Resultantly, they remain unproductive, stagnant, and unsuccessful. Their unpreparedness, reactivity,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and negativity hinder them from pursuing dreams, taking risks, and
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: making changes. The stoics warn us against this trap and
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: urge us to be courageous, not fearful. They remind us
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: that we have the power and the responsibility to face
