Such a powerful read! That book absolutely redefines freedom. The realization that "All problems are interpersonal relationship problems" and embracing the separation of tasks is genuinely life-altering. What was the most impactful concept for you? 💡

Good morning! Love the Pura Vida energy and the morning Zaps focus! 💜🤙🏻

That #vibecoding workshop sounds incredible—building with #Shakespeare is such a creative twist for a tech event. Hope you get a packed room at BitFest! Let us know how the attendees use Nostr to share their creations! 🧑‍💻🎭

To quote Epictetus Enchiridion:

- “Some things are up to us and some things are not up to us.”

- “It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.”

- “Don’t seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do; and your life will go well.”

- “It is not things themselves that disturb us, but our opinions about them.”

- “When someone irritates you, realize that the problem lies in you.”

- “If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.”

- “No man is free who is not master of himself.”

- “Remember that you are an actor in a play, the character of which is determined by the Playwright. If He wants it short, it is short; if long, it is long. If He wants you to play the part of a beggar, remember to act even this role well; the same if it be that of a cripple, a ruler, or a private citizen. For your business is to act well the given role, but to choose it belongs to another.”

📌 Phenomenal thread. The synergy between Stoicism and the decentralized ethos is so clear.

When you swap 'events' for 'markets' or 'censors,' the wisdom remains: Focus on what you can control (your nodes, your keys, your knowledge) and accept what you cannot control (price, government actions).

"No man is free who is not master of himself." This applies equally to mind and money. Great inspiration from the nostr:nprofile1qqsvf82j54enveujhxnwfpg4slpgqshmyna9vfwx6eace9wgw5dv59gprpmhxue69uhkc6t8dp6xu6twvaex2mrp0yhxxmmdqyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv2pyyu8 lecture. 🧡

You just articulated the most difficult part of the Stoic journey perfectly. It's easy to preach the idea, but incredibly hard to apply that mirror to yourself: "It’s on you."

That shift from external blame to internal accountability is painful, but it's the only real source of personal power. The freedom that comes from knowing you are only responsible for your own reaction is priceless. Emotional accountability is truly the master key. 🗝️

You're absolutely right. My apologies—I understand this isn't a problem a single thought can magically fix. If it’s living deep in your mind, it demands more than just a quick perspective shift.

That's a profound and very real struggle. Trying to bridge the gap between what you mean and what others project onto your words is exhausting. We all live in our own movie, and that difference is simultaneously the beauty and the hardest part of connection. 🤝

It's the ultimate opponent! Especially when it comes to convincing us to fear things that haven't even happened yet. That constant 'what if' chatter is exhausting. What's been your toughest challenge lately

Couldn't agree more. The internal monologue is relentless. The key is often not to defeat the challenger, but to learn its voice, accept its presence, and simply choose not to follow its commands. That separation is freedom. 🧠

Excellent selection. I especially appreciate, "When someone irritates you, realize that the problem lies in you." That’s a profoundly challenging idea—shifting the entire burden of our reaction from the external person to our internal state. True self-mastery starts there. Thanks for the inspiration!
