The ones that moved us most
From 12 till about 22 we lived in abject poverty: no running water or electricity, leaking roof and broken walls. I formed a new identity, started believing we were poor, turned to drugs to get by and get validation. From 23 I started taking my destiny into my hands, learning, working hard. I am now 26; my new mindset is rich.
I am someone who has sought dopamine in all forms and in an addictive manner for years. Greatly appreciated this episode. Work on myself begins today.
My peace is not for sale, and I gained so much of it by listening to this episode. Many lessons learned from this awe-inspiring Stoic wisdom and philosophy.
Thank you for elucidating Epictetus’s resilience and that which we all are able to harness from within. It’s the only way of life that has kept me going through difficult times.
From today, I release what I can’t control. I analyse every situation for what it is, not what it is like or likely to be. I embrace the events of life as they occur, to learn and identify the opportunities in them. I embrace the path of brutal clarity.
I’ve slipped back into harmful old ways. Thankfully, hearing these words has stopped this going on.
I wish I knew about these lessons in my 20s, but thank you: it’s never too late to enjoy the lessons in my late 40s. Brilliant content.
Reliving the past drains the most for me. A few things ended up in the second column, but mostly related to my judgments of these issues rather than the issues themselves. Thank you.
Thanks to the difficult ones, because without them, I wouldn’t know if I have grown.
I chose to let go what is sinking me down, so that I can float.
When you fall, get back up with honor.
From today, I protect my focus.
From today, I do not beg for attention.
From today, my strength is unshakable!
From today on, I choose to feel better.
I needed this.
I master my emotions.
I hereby declare that my emotions are my slaves, not my masters. I decide. I am in charge of me and my destiny.
I am not my mistake, I am my reconstruction. I will become someone who doesn’t even exist yet.
Everything you said hit me so hard. I will always listen to this podcast. Thank you! I want to cry right now.
This negative voice always speaks loud within me. From today, I refuse to follow its decision.
My anxiety does not come from outside. From today on, I observe how I generate it from within.
Success comes from mastery. Mastery comes from consistency. Consistency comes from discipline.
I forgive myself for wearing my heart on my sleeve. My peace is non-negotiable.
I say no for my dignity and yes to my peace.
My strength is born from my inner peace.

What listeners say
I found myself in this episode. I had a burnout and I decided never working again until recovery. Thank you.
I’ll never negotiate my peace ever again. This podcast is changing my life. I never realized how much I was living in fear. Thank you.
Rewired every day! The battles are real, but with God’s wisdom through these podcasts you will find a way. Keep it up, brother.

Principle I · Repeat.You are what you repeat.
Discipline isn’t a character trait: it’s what you do when no one is watching. Here, Monday’s intention becomes a practice that is still standing on Thursday.

The story of Stoicism
Five moments that explain how this philosophy was born, and why it still works today.
IAthens · around 300 BC
Zeno of Citium was a merchant. A shipwreck took his cargo and left him in Athens with nothing. He walked into a bookshop, read about Socrates, and asked where he could find a man like that.
“I made a good voyage when I was shipwrecked.”
Zeno, according to Diogenes Laertius · Lives of the Eminent Philosophers, VII, 4
IIRome · 1st century
Seneca was one of the richest men in Rome and an advisor to Nero. He knew exile, fortune, and danger.
“It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.”
Seneca · On the Shortness of Life, 1
IIINicopolis · around AD 100
Epictetus was born a slave. He didn’t choose his master, his body, or his era.
“Some things are up to us, and some things are not up to us.”
Epictetus · Enchiridion, 1
IVThe Danube frontier · around AD 170
He was the most powerful man in the world. He ruled an empire at war and struck by plague.
“What stands in the way becomes the way.”
Marcus Aurelius · Meditations, V, 20
VToday
Stoicism doesn’t promise an easy life. It trains you to respond better to whatever happens. Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck, the fathers of cognitive therapy, acknowledged their debt to the Stoics.
“It is not things that disturb us, but our judgments about them.”
Epictetus · Enchiridion, 5
Stoicism isn’t something you read: it’s something you train.

The Library trains you for one specific battle: each volume, one problem and a plan of a few days. MASTER puts a whole area of your life in order: habits, finances, time or goals.
“While we are postponing, life speeds by.”
Seneca · Letters to Lucilius, 1
There are pains we don’t choose: a loss, an illness, what others decide for us. The Stoics taught us to face them with dignity.
But there are others we do choose, even if we don’t notice. The account we don’t check. The habit we leave for Monday. The week we give away. The goal that keeps waiting. These pains don’t arrive all at once: they build up quietly, one day at a time.
Seneca wrote that we suffer more often in imagination than in reality. Almost always, what we fear about deciding weighs less than what it costs to keep not deciding.
Your next decision can be small. What matters is that it’s yours.
