  • #334 - Doing Your Best
    Sep 17 2024
    The episode explores the idea of being convinced in your heart that you're doing the best you can with what you've been given. It emphasizes that true contentment and happiness come from developing your character and putting forth your best effort, rather than seeking worldly success.

    It also highlights the importance of detachment from outcomes and focusing on virtue. The episode also touches on the idea that even in the face of failure or difficult circumstances, if you are convinced in your heart that you're doing your best, that is enough. The key takeaway is that true contentment comes from living a virtuous life and doing right by others.

  • #333 - Being Happy About Adversity
    Sep 10 2024




    In today’s episode, I’m diving into the idea of embracing adversity and finding joy in doing hard things. We’ll explore the importance of strength—both in Stoicism and Christianity—and how bearing heavy burdens can shape us. I’ll talk about the concept of worthiness, reminding us that while everything worth doing is hard, not all hard things are worth our time.

    We’ll examine the connection between a task’s difficulty and its payoff and why it’s essential to cultivate our strengths and competence to make a positive impact. Finally, we’ll discuss the collaborative nature of tackling life’s challenges and how each of us has a role to play in the bigger picture.

  • #332 - The Procrastination of Happiness
    Sep 3 2024
    We often procrastinate happiness, believing that achieving certain goals will make us happy. However, looking back, we realize that achieving those goals did not bring lasting happiness. We constantly put off being happy, thinking that once we reach a certain point in life, everything will be fine. But life proves us wrong, and we continue to deceive ourselves.

    One of the reasons for this is our inability to truly understand and accept our mortality. It is only when we fully grasp the fact that we will die someday that we can appreciate the present moment and find happiness. We must learn to be happy with what we have and not rely on external achievements for our happiness. The purpose of life is to enjoy the journey and find contentment in the present.
