Are you waiting for the right moment to start living your life? In this episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, we look at what Stoic philosophy says about responsibility: not the kind the self-help world sells you, but the deeper, more demanding kind. The responsibility for your own soul.Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism. Here, philosophy is not theory. It is a daily practice of honest choices, taken one moment at a time.Most of us are waiting for something. For the situation to improve, for permission, for the stars to align. But every moment spent waiting is a moment of handing over the wheel to someone else and hoping they are driving in your direction. The Stoics called this the loss of your prohairesis: your capacity to choose, to act, and to become who you are.Self-knowledge is where this starts. You cannot take responsibility for someone you do not know. That means sitting with the uncomfortable parts, the patterns, the past experiences, the beliefs you have never examined. Not to judge them, but to understand them. Because once you know where you are, you can begin moving toward where you want to go.The lights are already on green. This episode will remind you of that.Support the show🌐 viastoica.com▶️ YouTube: @viastoicaProduced by: Badmic.com
