Episode Details
Back to Episodes#69 - The Sickisode, Enchiridion Ch 9: How to Deal with Limited Choices, Bruce Reads his Will, Craziest Wills from History (Heartbreaking and Heartwarming... jk just heartbreaking)
Description
Are you being a drama queen by writing your will prematurely? Or are you preparing well? How can you continue your life mission after life? Bruce got "Not Malaria" in Thailand and had a dramatic episode where he wrote his will and we discuss that.
Then we go into how to continue choosing well when choices are limited. Epictetus gives us a great jumping off point in Enchiridion 9 to help us explore the idea of what is truly limited when choices are narrowed.
We explore how to respond correctly when our choices are limited and where to direct and express those emotions in a healthy way that will leave us not embittered at others or reality. We leave off with what Seneca proffers us as the greatest reward for overcoming all things... Will it be a garland? Maybe a wreath or trumpet calls for silence in our name in a ceremonial proclamation? Spoiler: None of these! Also spoiler: It will be something far greater!
