🧵Stoicism: How to stay sane when life sucks.

What Is Stoicism?

Stoicism is a practical philosophy for living well. Founded in ancient Greece by Zeno, refined by Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, its about mastering what you can control-your mind-and letting go of what you cant. At its heart: virtue is the only good, and peace comes from within. Here's how it breaks down.🧵

Arrogance of human intellect leads to the downfall of civilizations.
Stay curious.
Stay humble.
We don't have it all figured out.

@jeff_swearn5 Been through 6 of em, and still grateful I live in the sticks.

You can change, grow, and do better.
You just have to decide.

If you dont like the way a company is behaving, stop giving them your money.

Vote with your dollar.

[CaptainHook @CptJamesHook96]

Good morning.

You don’t control the weather, the news, or how others will behave today.

You do control your attention, your judgments, and your next deliberate action.

Focus there.
The rest is noise.

Amor fati. Begin. 💭

Give them bread and circuses, and they will never revolt.

History becomes a lie when the people inside the institutions decide the institution is more important than history itself.

I'm so disappointed by the number of people I used to look up to, especially those who taught me to dig beyond the surface level narrative to understand better, doing the exact opposite.

Just disappointed.

I truly hope the best for everyone.

You can tell a lot about a person by how they react when someone dies.

What better day for the well to fail!

[CaptainHook @CptJamesHook96]

No thanks Mr. Copperhead.

Somebody's turkey decided to hang out in our tree. On one of the smallest branches, 2 hours so far.

First batch torched!

Doing hard stuff requires distress tolerance. Building distress tolerance requires doing hard stuff. There is no easy entry point. It gets easier by way of recognition. You think “I’ve been here before”. Pretty soon you’re seeking that state. That’s how you make hard stuff easy.

@thegarybrecka Usually sausage or bacon, eggs, and berries and/or an apple/banana. Maybe some of our goats milk.
It's been great!

@Langegirlfarms Parvo vax is one of a few I will likely keep using for pups. Having treated a couple of our own dogs who had parvo as puppies, it's brutal, and sticks around on the land for years.
I just hate that they combine so many into a single shot now.

@ElieJarrougeMD Eating animal based, low carb was the single best change I've made for EVERY aspect of my life.
I've become a far better version of myself since.
Dysthymia is kept at bay, FAR less anxiety, physical pain everywhere is greatly reduced.
Why are people afraid to try?

There is no such thing as "settled" science. There should be zero resistance for wanting to dig deeper.
Anyone who claims we know all there is to know, tells us exactly who they are.
