What Would Will Smith Do?

Last "rule"! We made it. Phew...

Not sure about the "enemy" because there are no enemies in the kingdom of heaven. God does not have enemies. How could he? He is the constructor of everything and of every concept. He is above enemies. To have enemies is to be finite and limited. It is to imply you can get hurt or annihilated by this enemy. But you can't. Your true spirit is above that. I would say, be conscious of what the ego is, that way you can start identifying what is not your ego. Can you help improve my podcast episode description here: "..." ChatGPT: In this thought-provoking podcast episode, we explore the concept of "enemies" in the kingdom of heaven, challenging the idea that God has adversaries. Delving into the notion that God, as the creator of all, transcends the concept of enemies, we contemplate the infinite and limitless nature of the divine. The discussion invites listeners to consider the implications of having enemies, suggesting that it stems from a state of finiteness and limitation. The episode encourages a heightened awareness of the ego, urging individuals to discern and identify aspects that do not align with their true spirit. Join us on a journey of self-reflection and spiritual exploration as we navigate the profound understanding of divinity and the ego. ^ Something like that.

Such a stoic rule 😂 Let's add compassion to that list maybe right after Courage?

Where were we? It's been a minute since we talked...well since I talked 😊 But either way let's get through these rules so we can move on to a different philosophy. Optimally one with less than double-digit rules / principles 😆

Can you believe 5 more episodes and then complete the 50 rules of stoicism? Next time I might pick a much shorter list...nothing over 10 for sure. Sorry for the super bad sound quality 😞

First A.I enhanced episode. Just the sound quality not content. Although I wonder if ChatGPT can do a better job at this 🤔

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

“No one can hurt you without your consent.” In the words of Gandhi, “They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.” It is our willing permission, our consent to what happens to us, that hurts us far more” ― Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change

Define better here...better does not just mean successful the way society defined it but better could be somebody who can teach you something that you have lost.
