The world in 2026 is designed to distract you and keep you weak. If you want to find true success and peace of mind, you must learn the Stoic art of subtraction. In this video, we explore 5 critical things you must cut from your life right now to become mentally unshakable. Drawing from the "Meditations" of Marcus Aurelius and the wisdom of Seneca, we break down why social validation, complaining, and the pursuit of comfort are sabotaging your growth. Learn how to reclaim your time, your focus, and your sovereignty in the new year. In this video, you will learn: Why seeking approval is a trap for your character. How to stop being a victim of external circumstances. The psychological power of voluntary hardship. Why "someday" is the most dangerous word in your vocabulary. "It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it." — Seneca. #Stoicism #PersonalGrowth #MarcusAurelius #Discipline #2026Mindset #MentalToughness #SelfImprovement #StoicPhilosophy
