As you know, it's my mission to help teach you how to build the MINDSET and SKILLS that will help you live an extraordinary life - and over the last few months I've been working hard behind the scenes to help create a brand-new tool that will help you do that.
It's called Kyzen - and I am proud to announce that I will be bringing it to the world later this year to challenge you to empower yourself and accomplish greater things in life. To learn more, join my Discord at impacttheory.com/discord!.
Are you feeling you are lacking motivation or are unsure how to achieve your goals? Then head on over to https://unstuck.impacttheory.com. There you can register and get access to a free workshop.
What does it mean to live a good life filled with purpose? Obviously, the answer can only be personal to your individual preferences, values, and beliefs, but are you consciously deciding the quality of your life?
Ryan Holiday is a best-selling author times 10, media strategist, influential speaker, and bookstore owner. He's best known for his writings on ancient stoic philosophy and its application for everyday life. The New York Times credited Ryan for the increasing popularity of stoicism.
In this discussion, Ryan shares his thoughts and lessons learned about how he came to see what living a good life is for him. Questioning the things you give your time and energy over is the beginning for any of us that want to unpack what we're doing, who we're doing it for, and how it adds value with meaning to us. It's not enough to be a human doing any and everything without intention and clarity. Ryan points out that its better to learn and practice what it is to just be a human 'being.'
If the day to day mindless actions of work, preparing dinner, and stressing over getting more clients to increase your revenue is part of your reality, then taking this time to thing through what the right goal is for your to focus on and what you want out of life may be the most important moment in your life thus far.

'We seem to have a limitless capacity to steal time from ourselves.' [2:49]
'We protect our physical space much more than we protect our time, even though physical space can be regained and time can never be regained.' [3:15]
'If you think that action is the end all be all, you end up doing action for the sake of doing action, [...] sometimes you're just supposed to just be.' [4:24]
'It's this balance. Once you've arrived, the thing that got you there is now in some ways your worst enemy.' [8:18]
'Where ego comes in is like we've got the things that impress other people, and then the real meaningful impact that we're trying to have.' [12:12]

'You're not trying to get to perfection right now. You're just trying to get a little bit better than you were yesterday or an hour ago.' [25:16]
'If you're trying to be everything for everyone, and you read feedback, you're just going to get more lost.' [31:45]
'If I'm going to use my emotions, I want to be calm internally, but projecting the emotional response that's going to be effective in that situation, but I don't want to be jerked around by those emotions unconsciously.' [40:30]

This is an opportunity for newbies to capitalize on, it's quite a shame people Can't see this, trading is everything right now
@lw1343 Says:
Same old stuff. Young guy reads some books and then present it as revealing secrets. Where were the guides? They were the previous generations that weren't listened to. Why wasn't this taught in school? School teaches to read and you go to the library and pull philosophy off the shelf instead of going to the ball field. Stoicism is not new or secretive. Aspects of it are in biographies, the Bible, and older books on life. All around us.

@nivlakhera9 Says:
World can not see your pain
but they can see what you did with it,
so make it art, make it music,
make it innovation out of antique
make it compassion within the revolution
make it a reason for your evolution
make it a sponge soaking hurt of others
make it a tenacity that will not wither
make it a dance without hesitations
make it a strength with no limitations
make it light that conquers darkness,
Make it healing in womb of forgiveness
make it hands that build it all,
make it a heart that beats for all,
make it legs for those without
make it seeds that can sprout
make it courage that understands fears
make it a dream watered with tears
make it the truth with redemption to lies,
make it celebration for fallen tries
make it understanding without condition
make it knowing without submission
make it learning within teaching,
make it joy out of nothing
make it the death of old and birth of new.
Make it the reason beyond what seems true
The world can’t see your pain
but they can see what you did with it
So flower it and make it love ❤
Let the fire that burns you
Become an eternal light for all
what holds you back does not exist
The world can not see your pain
but they can see what you did with it,

I am writing a book now because all my patients get confused from internet information 😏 I was paralyzed when I was 27 I had to rebuild my brain soul body and mindset.
Here is the thing - eat pro and pre biotics, eat vegetables get annual physical and blood work, drink beer root juice shots with your cardio, drink moringa water and olive leaf tea, pasture raise completely boiled eggs (not half fried), eat seeds in portion, kiwi is great fruit use it along with berries, do not eat raw tomatoes cook them to lycopene can be release, try to cook your green instead of eating raw like Saag, eat high ANDI score raw vegetables like cucumber raddish onions -
Every morning make lemonade with saffron punch of salt and honey ,drink decaf coffee for flavonoid, add organic clean dark chocolate in your diet, alcohol is neurotoxic, rotate seeds that you eat, drink kefir or small portion of cottage cheese - drink matcha tea if you can afford it, go out in sun it will increase serotonin and melatonin - in salads have high quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar - don’t run in cities where traffic gives out toxic fumes drive to a park if possible or work out at home, smell rosemary oil twice a day if possible - use organic Amla oil , moringa oil, vitamin e , black sesame oil for your hair and also you can put in water with saffron and massage your face - kiwi and papaya are great skin chemical exfoliate you can make it’s masks at home- and listen to 40hz biurnal vibrations from YouTube - meditate 5 mts twice a day - have fun and be thankful and remember life sucks until it doesn’t and then it sucks again- remove the condition of absence of pain in order to feel fulfilled - life is not a race it’s a dance - share it with many and try do good- forgive ❤and if you can be happy for no reason you won’t need a reason to be happy -I teach NTN meditation to corporations that I created for myself when I had stroke I was paralyzed when I was 27 year old in residency - I healed my brain - my skin- my soul - I am 44 and look feel much younger with lifestyle changes - throw away synthetic air fresheners and perfumes- ‘- ‘-make them once a month on your own so they are good for you - do not cook in non stick and do not heat plastic - know your food combination - eat amla once a day and four prunes , one cloves a day - make Indian curry with Indian spices including turmeric and eat at least once a week - and if you wana live forever learn how to cook bitterguard or make its juice along with bottle guard- all what I mentioned will heal you back - also practice pause - before you are about to say something eat something and do something- ask yourself WHY, is it good for you and others , pause will save your life and pause depends on your PFC thickness and you can increase its thickness by meditation, beet root juice, walking, sun, olive leaf tea and walnuts but if you have to pick one - meditation it increases your pre frontal cortex and listening to 40hz Biurnal vibrations-
Yoga also releases your hear and now neurotransmitter- the only two supplements you need is 2 grams of krill oil and 5000 units of vitamin d3 (unless you have hyper parathyroidism or ckd) discuss with your doctors - you got this 🙌 remember what holds you back does not exist- also know you were not designed to be content and happy- you were biologically designed to be restless it’s called hedonic adaptation- your mind will keep coming with desires so you can create more situations towards something or someone and the purpose you are here is that you can LEARN through GROW through those situations - there is nothing fair about pain that came or will come your way- it was not about Justice or convenience it’s about life pushing you in tough situations- when you are in those situations- I ask you to do something stupid - write on your diary every single day- what can I learn if I remove the expectation of life to be fair- how I wana be when I get out of this hellhole - and then take help from as many people as possible- we are all product of Higgs field giving mass to energy - we are more than one so we can help each other - you will always have option to be brave and when you can not be brave - grieve mourn scream cry but while you do all that do a lill good for yourself and or someone else - soon your actions will be taller than your pain - I promise you that it’s true - take care ❤

@miguelfuertes5453 Says:
Tom i know you have to squeeze the ads in but they completely disrupt the flow of the message. Its really a momentum killer. Rather than put people in a positive state, your message is recieved in a frustration state.
To Anyone Reading This!
I started catering for myself since my early age, i know the actual face of my parent when i reach 20years, i live with other people, you cannot imagine how hard it is but with those pain experience i passed through am still willing to push more till i share my success story so watching this kind videos got me to make research and started my Youtube Channel which am really struggling to build with everything i have and i hope one day I will share my success story so to my fellow people reading this no matter how hard it is just continue pushing forward, cry alone wipe your tears and continue, feel lonely still motivate yourself and continue because you’ve got yourself to trust the most 😭 i pray to those like me Reading this now may God almighty help us all. Amen

@somethingcool7903 Says:
What started as a whisper
Slowly turned in to a scream
Searching for an answer
Where the question is unseen
I don't know where you came from
And I don't know where you've gone
Old friends become old strangers
Between darkness and the dawn.
I still hear you saying
"All of life is chance
And is sweetest, is sweetest when at a glance"
But I live
I live a hundred lifetimes in a day
But I die a little
In every breath I take

Ryan is not a true stoic. He's a good marketer.
@MaisDennis Says:
This video is proof that ryan and tom are NOT the same person in disguise.
@RobotechII Says:
Ryan Holiday is far from a stoic, he is a hysterical political hack.
@taniak5685 Says:
To say no to someone or something is to say yes to yourself. So a no is a yes and a yes is a yes. A simple path to be true to yourself and others.
@alexispantoja1667 Says:
