Stoic philosopher Epictetus

Post by jrineakter »

We can say for example in our case that it further strengthened our relationship, because Céline was happy with my reaction, I was quite happy and proud of my reaction and it allowed us both to work and learn. So we try to look for the positive in spite of everything. So you see, we try to focus on the positive and we look for the opportunity. That is really very very important.

There is also a quote from the I quote the Stoics very often in my content because it is a philosophy that, even if it is not perfect, is still very, very inspiring and very practical, we can really use it on a daily basis. And I read in the Handbook of Epictetus , it is a very small book, the Handbook of Epictetus, which is really very nice and very practical, a passage that said: "With each accident that happens to you, remember to ask yourself what strengths you have to make use of it". So I will repeat. "With each accident that happens to you, remember to ask yourself what strengths you have to make use of it".

So, well, in general, these books, they are not very well translated, so it is not great as French, but we understand that basically, when a problem happens to us, an accident, well let's ask ourselves what qualities, what strengths we possess, which could make use of the problem, so in this case, here, the problem we had, I was able poland whatsapp number data to ask myself what is my strength or what are the strengths that I possess that allow me to use what happens to us, this event, this accident. Well in this case, the strength that I possess was the understanding, the empathy, the love that I feel towards Céline. And all these things were reinforced by the problem and by the event that affected us. And even if it is only a small episode, there is nothing serious, I think that some people experience this kind of situation very badly.

So that's what I wanted to tell you. I'm very happy to have been able to live this situation with empathy and it's good to live like that. We live less stressed, we live in a much more serene way obviously. And the best way to have a good life is still to be serene on a daily basis.

I hope you enjoyed it. The rain is getting heavier here and that's okay. I hope you enjoyed this episode. Whether you did or not, I'm tempted to say, "Go check out the link in the description anyway. It's www.francaisauthentique.com/academie ."
