Why Facing Death Is The Key To Success

We are all going to die

This is fantastic i want to do the things i want to do in life! Without fears! Much love ❤

Awesome

The sooner the better for me

Thanks Ryan. I am seventy eight and you are among my best teachers. I thank especially for reminding me of death, and for helping me to live my life more peacefully. So many problems have been solved for me just from reading the Saturday stoic mails you send . A valuable gift to receive at this time of my life. Thanks Carol

I know i will die, can't survive with a problematic kidney, heart, bacterias, and govt. sponsored crippled body which doesn't let me walk but i will prefer to suicide instead of dying by someone else's life or being converted to a woman by govt. & billionaires which i never was.
Suicide is the path i chose and suicide is what i am committed to.
Can't ask for help bcz that is against my self respect.
Just gonna deep sleep one of these days soon. I mean every word of this comment.

It's not about you sir, stoics are my inspiration.
We all know who caused this but still i am gonna switch off myself soon.

Some Indian friends came to rescue and didn't asked me directly but gave trivia to solve and i am someone who doesn't goes anywhere without being directly asked.

Some friends told me company and color of car to sit in but i just can't go anywhere untill someone asks me directly but my final decision is suicide as i know what most of my friends want from me.

I've been sleeping on this philosophy for too long!

The best video Ryan has done on explaining momento mori or every time I hear it I get wiser and take on new meaning from it which ever it is,it hits you when you think I've lived 40years no you died 40 years live today not 40years in the past.

This is where i see conflict in this part of the stoic philosophy. Because there can be no life without death and death without life. To be born and alive is also to have a death sentence. So to me instead of always focusing on death or when thats going to be. I choose to live and enjoy the moments that make your day meaningful and happy. Because to be anxious and think about imagined suffering is to suffer more than we have to. So instead of thinking i might day someday being that to be true, i choose to think, i am alive today and i will live it to my best.

Time❤

Wonderful video and guide. Greetings from a fan in Puerto Rico.

I'm flying with plane in 2 weeks and I'm TERRIFIED. I think I'll download some of these videos to watch on the plane

Been married for 25 years i don't think Death is an option when it breaks the bonds of marriage and long term commitments, easy for people to say it with a sense of relief when they don't have much to let go and miss😑

Is very true 💯👍🏻

Nothing to do with Memento Mori , but did your kid get you with a fish hook in that one clip ? If so I know the feeling ,lol.

Death is the last item on my bucket list. Until then, stoicism is what it's all about! Thanks for enlightening me. Please give me your recommendation for which one of your books to read first. Thanks!

I do not need the reminder. My father died at the turn of the new year. My mom had a-fib last year. Many of my friends have died in the past few years. I’m not young. We will all die. It’s just a question of when and how.

Is this your smear & lie about those who participated in the Jan 6th event? If so, you can shove this stoic stuff up where the sun don't shine. "The insurrectionists that stormed the Capitol on January 6th, 2021–smearing the temple of democracy with feces and blood, wearing clothes that celebrated the Holocaust, waving the Confederate flag as they rushed to thwart the peaceful transfer of power–they were not an aberration. They weren’t an anomaly in the history of democracy. No, they were part of a tragic tradition that the Stoics have been warning about for centuries."

"Seize the day, buy these shorts" after that 4-minute rant has to be the filthiest thing I've heard in a while.

Yolo.

you are an honest, brave and beautiful person. Thank you for the reminder.

lol the disney store was the first place I heard the phrase and that's when I googled it.

Death has lost its sting - Jesus Christ offers eternal life. Believe in Jesus for eternal life.

Just turned 55 and the clock seems to be really speeding up. But actually I am slowing down. 😮‍💨

Man such a deppresive point of view. We all need clear, nice thoutghs, not this piece of sh*te.

I signed up for the email... I never do that

Working in a nursing home and helping people to pass over, literally holding my old folks' hands as they took their last breath because their families did not make it in time, was my wake up call. Make the most of your time. Live. Love like it's your last day.

Death is the best motivator to live life now. While you are killing time, time is killing you. 😳😦

This has helped ill start practicing this immediately.

Time is always passing. No matter if you’re using that time to its full potential or wasting it. Time is super valuable and I love how your channel mentions that. So many people waste time and they don’t even realize that they’re wasting their valuable time until it’s too late. Bringing awareness to this topic is very important so thank you for what you’re doing. There are so many things in our time that we can be doing that we enjoy it doesn’t just have to be work or rushing around hustling. For me and taking the time to do my hobbies and realizing how valuable my time is to do things I love and I bring me joy I hope this can help someone

🙏💮😑❤️✨I enjoy this one .I will get that coin soon .

Exactly what my doctor said... but gave me atleast 3 month .

The problem is that I'm not afraid of death but afraid of living

One more Video I'll never get to watch again

👍great

One of the best videos u made thus far Ryan - so many people need to hear this ... life is so short & they “ don’t live “ ... but live in the past !!

Hey Ryan, I just want to give a massive thank you for what you do. I just recently came across your channel, and it feels like everything in my brain just clicked. I'm currently 21, and I have been struggling with mental health issues. But after discovering your channel, as well as getting into philosophy I can feel myself getting better just by putting what the stoics said into action. I have a copy of meditations coming tomorrow, which I am beyond excited to read. For so long it felt like I was trapped, but over the last few days that feeling has started to fade away with each time I expose myself to anything philosophy related. So once again, thank you from a 21 year old guy who's starting to get his struggles figured out.

Awesome!

"You are killing time, time is killing you". Wow. Time = Tiktok. You are killing time, Tiktok is killing you.

You're just so helpful.. that is so great honestly... cannot thank you as much as I wld like too.. 🥺

As a third world citizen born in the seventies, I'm really sorry I didn't have access to all this knowledge growing up. Until my 30's I lived in complete naivety. I worked hard, got the money, paid the bills, feed the cat, wasted my time and money on useless things. Why it took me so long to learn valuable lessons like this? This should be taught at schools, to little children. Jordan Peterson says "choose your sacrifices" and it's true. I sacrificed my youth for nothing. All I can do is try to do my best with my remaining years.

This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time....... think I saw that somewhere!!!!
