Taking Responsibility for Our Emotions and Actions
One of the main teachings of Stoicism is not to worry about the opinions of others. While this advice is easier to follow with strangers, it becomes challenging when it involves people close to us. The speaker shares their personal struggle with seeking approval from loved ones and feeling upset when they disapprove of something. To navigate this challenge, it is important to take 100% responsibility for our emotions and actions, not expecting others to change or blaming them for how we feel. By recognizing our own agency, we can empower ourselves and create emotional independence.
