Embracing Life's Temporary Nature: The Power of Stoic Detachment

What if nothing truly belongs to you? In this thought-provoking episode, we explore a transformative Stoic principle that challenges our fundamental understanding of ownership and attachment. Rather than promoting apathy, this perspective offers profound clarity—teaching us to see life as a series of experiences rather than possessions. The result? Less anxiety, deeper appreciation, and a remarkable freedom that comes when we stop clinging to what was never ours to keep.

This episode delves into how our suffering often stems from attachment—to people, outcomes, titles, and control. When we shift our perspective to view everything as temporary experiences rather than permanent possessions, we create space to live more fully and authentically. Through personal stories from the Kokoda Track and practical wisdom from ancient Stoics, you'll discover how embracing impermanence can transform your relationship with both joy and loss.

**3:15** - The Stoic perspective: Nothing truly belongs to us, everything is simply an experience

**12:15** - Five practical ways to practice detachment:
