Turning Trials into Triumph: Ryan Holiday (The Daily Stoic)

Wisdom From The Top with Guy Raz

NOTE

Emotions Don't Define Us

Emotions are not an identity but a response that can be observed and evaluated. The Stoics, similar to Buddhists, emphasize the importance of understanding emotions without suppression. Individuals have the capacity to pause, reflect, and question the validity of their feelings, thereby differentiating between emotional impulse and reasoned action. This perspective indicates that distress arises not from circumstances but from our judgments about them. By recognizing this distinction, we can choose our reactions rather than merely respond to feelings.
