 you could be good today instead you

going to get started on the diet I'm
going to get started on the novel I'm
not going to do it today I'm going to do
it
[Music]
tomorrow stoicism is a philosophy about
choices how we choose to see things what
we choose to do who we choose to be it
comes down to choices my whole life has
been about choices too I've written out
10 books about ancient philosophy I've
spoken to everyone from the NBA to the
NFL what you see in a book like
meditations is Mark celus the the most
powerful man in the world struggling
willing himself to get better at
choosing to choose the right things to
Value the right things to think the
right things to focus on the right
response to a difficult situation in
today's episode I want to focus on this
idea of choice and give you all the best
insights from The Stokes about Cho
choosing about choosing well and about
how to choose to be the best person you
can be right
now being great at something requires
concentration it requires elimination
senica says he who is everywhere is
nowhere if you want to be great at
whatever it is you're doing it means
Focus everything you say yes to means
saying no to something else but
conversely when you say no to other
things when you say no to the innoc
essential to stoic say it allows you to
say yes to double down on what truly is
essential so what are you saying no to
so you can say yes to what
matters we know what it is we need to do
right we have the information the
problem is doing it Marcus aelia says
you could be good today instead you
choose tomorrow we put it off we say I'm
going to get started on the diet I'm
going to get started on the novel I'm
going to get started uh cleaning the
house not going to do it today I'm going
to do it tomorrow if it was about
information no one would be overweight
no one would be unhealthy everyone would
have six-pack abs every project would
get completed we know how to do it the
problem is that we don't do it we don't
take the steps that's why the scks have
the discipline of action at the end of
the day it's all about the action it's
not what you say it's not what you think
it's what you do what action are you
going to take what step are you going to
take and really that's how you finish
stuff step by step just just take the
first step Marcus relus says no one can
stop you from
that one of senica's most popular quotes
is we suffer more in imagination than in
reality what he's trying to say is you
don't have to suffer in advance anxiety
is a punishment to yourself it doesn't
resolve or adjust the situation it just
makes you nervous and uncomfortable and
miserable and often brings about exactly
what you were fearing in the first place
so this stoics are prepared for what
life can throw at us but we don't suffer
before we need to because we know that
it doesn't do anything about the
situation the stoics want you to stop
wasting time stop wasting time focusing
on things that are outside your control
stop wasting time putting stuff off stop
wasting time caring about what other
people think stop wasting time
regretting the past stop wasting time
thinking you're going to live forever
ever momentum wor life is very short and
to waste it doing any of these things
doing these things that you know you
shouldn't be doing is to reject the gift
of life that you have in your possession
at this very
[Music]
moment often times unfortunately the way
we respond to something makes it worse
we tell ourselves that something is
unfair we tell ourselves that we're
screwed over we tell ourselves that this
is the worst thing that ever happened
and um great people don't do this right
when the United States was launching the
AP program what they actually looked for
in the astronauts was not their ability
to Pilot although they they hired some
of the the greatest uh test pilots from
from the Air Force but what they really
looked for was their ability to regulate
their emotions in stressful situations
and they would train they trained this
skill to its apex so over and over again
the astronauts were exposed to stressful
situations uh they were gradually
exposed over time to everything they
would potentially face in space so when
an astronaut like John Glenn orbits uh
the planet Earth for for more than a day
his heart rate actually never goes over
100 beats per minute meanwhile most of
us you know we get an angry phone call
or an unpleasant email we we start to
feel that pounding on our chest because
we haven't practiced that and and it's
so dangerous especially for an astronaut
not to practice that because uh without
that meticulous preparation if something
goes wrong you're really screwed over
you can as Chris Hadfield who's a
Canadian astronaut uh said a few years
ago he's saying look um it's worth
remembering that there's no problem so
bad that you can't make it worse also
and that's often times what our
perceptions do we make a Bad Thing even
worse and then we complain that it's too
hard to get over and so I'm I'm
particularly inspired by people who
don't do this so um as as epicus says
you know who then is Invincible the one
who cannot be upset by anything outside
his reason
Choice don't focus on how far you've
come Focus on how far you have left to
go epicus says there is nothing less
philosophical than someone who puts on
heirs about their progress about their
study of wisdom about their
breakthroughs Marcus Aus even as an old
man was saying you're still a long way
off from being a philosopher this is a
lifelong Pursuit if you focus on how far
you've come you get arrogant and
complacent if you focus on how far you
have left to go all the things you have
left to learn then you get better better
a great physicist once said that as our
island of knowledge grows so does the
shoreline of ignorance that's true for
self-improvement too as you get better
you should be seeing constantly all the
things that you have left to get better
in so don't get complacent don't get
egotistical focus on how far you have
left to
go all the Great Moments in stoic
history involve standing up for the
little guy KO stands up for the little
guy rutilius Rufus stands up for the
little guy Marcus aelius passes laws
that not only protects Rome slaves he
even gives wooden swords to the
Gladiator so they won't get hurt in the
arena we're all privileged we all have
advantages and at different times we're
going to see ourselves in positions of
power or influence where we can do
something for someone and a huge part of
stoicism is using that power using that
privilege to lessen the burden to make
life easier and better for other people
right stoic virtue of justice justice is
a core stoic virtue just that you do the
right thing the rest doesn't matter the
fruit of this life Mark CIA says it's
good character and acts for the common
good which especially and particularly
means speaking up and standing up for
people who can't stand up and speak up
for
themselves 99% of the things that you
spend time on don't matter it's not that
they're not important it's that we focus
on things that are not up to us that's
what epictia says he says the chief task
in life is to separate things that are
in our control from those that are not
in our control what other people do what
other people say the weather how the
dice rolls so much stuff that we spend
time energy worrying about hoping for
regretting wishing willing to be
different was never up to us and so by
spending our time on what is up to us
that's what matters so it's not that
things don't matter it's that most of
the things that we focus on about things
don't matter cuz it was never up to us
the stok say focus on what's in your
control that's what a philosopher
does you have to be willing to look
stupid that's what epic tias says he
says if you wish to improve you must be
willing to look clueless or stupid about
some things I think that means one you
have to be willing to ask dumb questions
if you if you don't ask you can't learn
if you're afraid of what other people
think you'll you'll never learn what you
don't know but I think the other part is
you have to be willing to not care about
about stuff right to be like I don't
care about that I'm not following that
I'm out of touch about that that's one
part then I think the other part is you
have to be willing to be bad at stuff
right to be at the beginner stages to be
embarrassingly figuring it out to be
mediocre to be in the process of
rediscovering or changing or growing so
if you want to improve the Stoka you
have to be willing to look stupid to
look embarrassed to be ridiculous to not
be good cuz that's how you get from
where you are to where you want to
go there's a bunch of difficult things I
try to do every day I try to take a cold
shower I get up early I intermittent
fast I try to do a really hard workout
every day I try to push myself
physically so I can be better mentally
senica said we should treat the body
rigorously so it's not disobedient to
the mind the point is you are
deliberately challenging yourself you're
seeking out challenges because life is
hard and you want to build muscle to be
able to deal with those challenges you
want to be able to build the willpower
the mental strength the fortitude to be
able to deal with setbacks and uh
Misfortune and adversity and difficulty
you want to be prepared and a Stoke
prepares themselves by seeking out those
challenges in the ordinary course of
life you do these things because it
makes you stronger and better and more
able to deal with the challenges of
life thanks for watching every day I
