RE: Life is Short, Why Waste It on Emotion That Doesn't Serve You.

in #stoicism7 years ago (edited)

I'm really glad you posted this. I stumbled upon the link in a comment. This was a necessary refresher to lessons learned and later forgotten. As a young boy I began defaulting to what I later found to be known as a stoic behavior/mindset as a defense mechanism. It certainly served me well and in self-reflection ultimately brought me much insight and happiness. I feel I've strayed as of late. My comforts have made me weak, my rise from poverty to financial stability has made me complacent. This was a nice knock on the head to make me realize I've began caring about things that don't matter and have lost appreciation for certain things in life. Thank you for posting.

thank you so much for such a nice comment. I'm so glad it helped. I'm sorry you went through so much discomfort as a child, but I'm glad you found stoicism. Check out tim ferriss new ebook I linked also. It's free and really awesome. Thanks again, friend.

All is well. I've come to appreciate any past discomforts. I will absolutely check out the e-book later when I get the chance.

wow, thanks for the resteem too!
