This is powerful. I think I will take the time to memorize this from Seneca. #Seneca #OnTheHappyLife #Stoicism #Philosophy #Substack

Assigning blame to anyone is the wrong part of the story upon which to focus. I’m working on blaming myself less as I learn to see myself as part of the whole. #Epictetus #CosmicPerspective #Stoicism #Philosophy #Substack

[1/7] Here is a sneak peek at the opening of my current commentary WIP, “On Perfection”: -_-_-_-_-_- Dear reader, I say the following not to get a rise out of anyone, but instead to state a fact which we all know but many wish wasn’t true: You are not perfect. No one is. #perfection #reflection

Just casually namedropping possibly the wisest man ever to live as a “be like Socrates and you’ll be happy” reminder. 🤣 well, we have our homework then. There certainly is joy and happiness in being and doing good. #Socrates #Wisdom #Stoicism #Philosophy #Happiness #Joy #Antisthenes

Stories do not end. –Anais Nin We only see the end of our chapter. The story goes on without us. We are a part of something larger than ourselves. #Inspiration #Stoicism #Philosophy

The greatest power isn’t wealth, fame, or control — it’s mastering your mind. Stoics teach us: we can't always control the world, but we can control our reactions. That’s true freedom. ✨💭 Are you cultivating your inner strength today? #Stoicism #Mindset #SelfMastery #Wisdom 💡

One of the single-most influential sentences I’ve read in my life. This is where my interest in philosophy started, almost 4 years ago. What a journey of self-discovery it’s been. #Socrates #Introspection #Examination #Stoicism #Philosophy

Yes. This sort of “stoicism” is both NOT Stoicism and not good. Broics are not Stoics… they’re, at the very least, confused.

The greatest lesson from Marcus Aurelius? You control your mind, not your circumstances. 🌿 In a world obsessed with control, true power lies in mastery of ourselves. 🧠✨ Are you nurturing your inner fortress today? #Stoicism #MindsetMatters #SelfMastery 💪

If when you do a good thing for someone you are thinking, “What’s in it for me?”, then you’ve missed the point of doing the good thing. We are all part of the same whole. Doing the kindness for someone else IS what’s in it for you. #Seneca #Kindness #Stoicism #Philosophy #Reflection #Subtack

Recently made available to all with the demolition of my paywall. In it, I discuss the difference between knowing what to do in theory vs. the actual doing of the thing, all within the framework of morality and improvement of our character. #Poetry #Haiku #Stoicism #Philosophy

It is not comfortable to expand your inner exploration. But it is less comfortable to live as a prisoner in your own mind. Citadel or jail cell. The choice of what your mind becomes is yours to make. #Socrates #Substack #Stoicism #Philosophy #mentality #reflection #growth

I write poetry and then talk about what it taught me in the hopes that others can get something out of it as well. Link to my publication: guntherhammel.substack.com #Poetry #Haiku #Stoicism #Philosophy #Substack #writing #author #commentary #selfexamination #selfpublished #booksky #read #books

If we wish to find a good flow in life, then making a big deal out of both preferred and dispreferred outcomes will need to be something we discontinue. #Substack #MarcusAurelius #Stoicism #Philosophy

This is my latest article. It talks about how to better respond to destabilizing impressions – with a rational and tempered equanimity. The poem is from my book, and I hope that you enjoy it. #Poetry #Haiku #Stoicism #Philosophy #Commentary #Substack #indieauthor #selfpublished

Consider what you need to do, and then do it. Some extrapolation might be necessary, but do not call yourself a sage. You are not. I am not. It is highly unlikely any of us ever will be. This should not stop any of us from trying to be better each day. #Epictetus #Stoicism #Philosophy #Substack
