The Stoic Advice Every Man Learns Too Late In Life | Ryan Holiday PT 1
Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Pleasure vs. Virtue: Consider Long-term Consequences
The Stoics emphasize that pleasure itself isn't bad, but they urge individuals to consider the aftermath - the regrets, negative consequences, and shame that may follow. They highlight that pleasure is fleeting while virtue and accomplishments endure. They caution against pursuing immediate gratifications like drugs, alcohol, or indulgent behavior, pointing out that the costs of such pleasures often manifest later. The Stoics stress the importance of considering long-term consequences, whether it's the discipline of hard work leading to lasting benefits or the immediate pleasures resulting in enduring shame and regrets. This introspection and consideration of delayed outcomes are seen as crucial for personal growth and becoming the best version of oneself.
