ALEXANDER VS. DIOGENES: WHO WAS MORE POWERFUL? 👑 Alexander the Great conquered the known world. When he met Diogenes the philosopher, Alexander's men shouted: "This man conquered the world! What have YOU done?" Diogenes responded: "I have conquered the need to conquer the world." 🎯 Alexander ruled empires but was enslaved by ambition. Diogenes ruled himself and was free. Who had MORE power? Epictetus taught: Real power comes from mastering what you control—yourself. Not money, status, or reputation. 💪 Want a great empire? Rule over yourself first. ✨ 📖 The Daily Stoic - Day 311 ✍️ Ryan Holiday & Stephen Hanselman 🎙️ Epictetus, Discourses 3.26.34-35 What "power" are you chasing that's actually enslaving you? 👇 🎙️ Dead Sprint Radio 📧 [email protected] 🌐 deadsprintradio.com Follow for daily Stoic wisdom! 🔥 #DailyStoic #Stoicism #Epictetus #Shorts #Power #AlexanderTheGreat #Diogenes #Philosophy #SelfMastery #Freedom #Wisdom #StoicPhilosophy #Mindfulness #InnerPower #DeadSprintRadio #PhilosophyShorts #StoicWisdom #Control #DailyMotivation #AncientWisdom
