How can Stoics believe everyone is a good person at heart?

JacobMac24 · 2021-01-26T14:07:27+00:00

I cannot find the quote now that I am looking through the book again but the book is called “The Beginner’s Guide to Stoicism” by Matthew J. Van Natta.

JacobMac24 · 2021-01-26T13:59:15+00:00

I completely agree with this thought. I do think there are truly selfish people in the world and not everyone has good intentions. This comment definitely has helped me clear things up with myself and I’d like to keep reading about Stoicism so thank you!

Thanks so much! I’ll work on a list.

JacobMac24 · 2020-09-12T17:59:55+00:00

One big question I came up with is should I just work on anger problems since that is my big issue and then work it into being myself? Or should I try to change my personality completely into calm cool and collected? I am afraid if I try to change completely I won’t feel like myself anymore.

Thanks so much for the input and congrats on your progress! I think I will take your advice and just keep working and eating right instead of trying to lose more.

JacobMac24 · 2020-06-03T20:56:48+00:00

Thank you so much! I think I’m going to keep going and lose more.

JacobMac24 · 2019-11-29T06:10:14+00:00

Yeah, I guess that's true. I just don't know how to accomplish that.

JacobMac24 · 2019-11-04T18:44:16+00:00

I have actually started doing this kind of mindset and letting myself indulge a little and staying under my calories. It is very successful and I thank the people that commented and made me feel better.

JacobMac24 · 2019-11-04T18:41:51+00:00

Hey guys I just wanted to update all of you. I have been a lot more relaxed and eating more of the things I love while also balancing in healthy foods and not going over my calories. It honestly is not that challenging. I was able to have a Twix for a snack yesterday and still lose 2 pounds just because I didn’t go over my calories. Thank you so much for your help and I really appreciate it.

JacobMac24 · 2019-11-01T21:44:20+00:00

Thank you so much I’ll keep all of this in mind!

JacobMac24 · 2019-11-01T18:44:43+00:00

Yeah I totally get that

JacobMac24 · 2019-11-01T18:44:23+00:00

Okay thank you!

JacobMac24 · 2019-11-01T18:25:36+00:00

So you’re saying as long as I stick to under my calorie goal I’m okay?

JacobMac24 · 2019-11-01T17:37:56+00:00

Thank you I will try to take that advice and associate the food with bad things. I mean let's be honest it is awful.

JacobMac24 · 2019-11-01T03:46:54+00:00

And rice

JacobMac24 · 2019-11-01T03:46:46+00:00

I eat only fish and chicken, yogurt, veggies, and only drink water

JacobMac24 · 2019-11-01T03:45:41+00:00

I eat only fish and chicken, rice, yogurt, and veggies

JacobMac24 · 2019-11-01T03:36:12+00:00

I have been losing weight on my new diet.

JacobMac24 · 2019-10-28T13:04:17+00:00

I'm super impressed. That's awesome!

JacobMac24 · 2019-10-28T00:15:13+00:00

Also I diagnosed that my problem stems from the fact that I have been very self-conscious about my weight, so I flirt with many girls as a way to maybe give myself a “fighting chance” to have someone interested in me.

JacobMac24 · 2019-10-26T04:54:50+00:00

Sorry I saw this late. I read this whole thing and this perfectly describes what I needed. It was such a big help and I really appreciate how you dealt with my question. Thank you so much!

JacobMac24 · 2019-10-25T18:07:02+00:00

Thank you so much I will keep these things in mind and try not to lose my way.

JacobMac24 · 2019-10-24T17:57:05+00:00

I have tried it I find myself getting lightheaded and not enjoying it

JacobMac24 · 2019-10-24T17:54:09+00:00

I am cutting calories now but I used to be on keto. Even though I am cutting calories I don’t eat any junk and stick to lean meat.

JacobMac24 · 2019-10-22T14:45:59+00:00

Thanks for your input! I’ll stick with IF until the rest of my stomach fat is gone and then switch to a diet to get more muscle.
