Becoming Stoic

The Human Experience: What do Donald Trump, 50 Cent, Conor McGregor and Kim Kardashian Have in Common?

Fame is dumb... there I said it! Fame, stardom and celebrity tarnish the soul and the quality of this thing called the human experience. It tends to corrupt and lead people to become something that is not in line with their true nature. One way I mentally combat this phenomenon is to remember the human behind it. My method is unusual, but it works. Dive into the podcast to learn more... Thank you for your time friend. Ps.

You Can Be Good Today: Paulo Coelho and Tomorrow’s Promise

“How many times you have been given a period of grace by the gods and not used it.”—Marcus Aurelius The hour glass is such a beautiful and symbolic image for so many reasons, but mostly because it gives us a visceral look at how our own life passes. One grain at a time (one moment at a time). Each one of these moments is an opportunity to be happy and live how our nature intended. And every moment that slips pass is a wasted opportunity to be. Instead, do yourself a favour, remove your expectations and be good today. Thank you for your time friend. Ps.

Life is Like a Military Campaign: Combatting Political Violence and Unrest

“Don’t you know life is like a military campaign? One must serve on watch, another in reconnaissance, another on the front line.”—Epictetus Everyday feels more frantic. We are constantly woken to news of unrest, death, fear and betrayal. It’s hard to focus at times.  The way to combat the turmoil and unrest is to go within, focus on your directing mind and continue to build your strength. Stay true to your principles and free yourself from fear. Thank you for your time friend. Ps.

Strong Body, Strong Mind: Gaining Self Belief Through Fitness

“The philosopher’s body also must be well prepared for work because often virtues use it as a necessary tool for the activities of life.”—Musonius Rufus I used to be terrified of the gym. Terrified of physical fitness, hard work, delaying gratification and let's face it... gym bros. In recent years I have seen fitness as my friend. Something that can challenge me physically, and in turn harden my mentally. I believe in being life fit, ready for any challenge that might come my way.

Don’t Take It Personally: How to Save 68 Hours a Year by Practicing Indifference

"Every event has two handles, one by which it can be carried, and one by which it can't."—Epictetus There are going to be things in your day to day life that simply do not warrant a reaction. In the quote at the top, Epictetus famously referred to every situation having 2 handles. One that can carry the load and one that cannot. There will always be justification to involve yourself in every dispute, argument, disagreement, fight or melee. But do you have to? Protect your future self, choose the right handle.
