The Strong Stoic Podcast
How often have you heard the advise: "just be you", or some variation it? "Just do you", "to thyself be true", etc. It's actually great advice! We absolutely SHOULD be true to ourselves, but there's a problem... it isn't always easy.Sometimes it is. That is, when society's expectations align with you being you. A lot of times, however, it is not easy. Those are the times when society's expectations conflict with you being you. In these cases, it begs the question: what should we do? Should we stay true to ourselves, or should we conform to the group? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

#119 - Falling Into Chaos

The Taos believed that life is divided between Chaos and Order. Too much order? No challenge. Too much Chaos? Well... Chaos. Though they believed the best life is lived right in the middle, it's rare that we are exactly in the middle. In fact, we often sway in between Chaos and Order throughout our lives. That means that sometimes, unfortunately, we find ourselves falling into Chaos.In this episode, I discuss falling into Chaos; how it happens, why it happens, and how it's possible to make the fall hurt a little bit less.
