actions one of the basic principles of stoic philosophy is don't believe in words believe in actions a person's actions are the truest reflection of their nature and intentions words can be manipulated disguised and even outright lied about but actions reveal the truth when observing others pay attention to the contradictions between their words and actions someone might appear friendly and supportive through their words but their actions might tell a different story for instance a colleague might praise you for your success but secretly undermine or criticize your efforts behind your back it's their actions not their words

that reveal their true intentions ask your yourself have you ever felt like someone says one thing but does another have you encountered someone who promised to help but never followed through these inconsistent actions are clear signs of insincerity and can be rooted in jealousy as Marcus Aurelius said waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be be one actions are irrefutable evidence of a person's true character consider the example of a friend who always says they will be there for you but disappears when You Face difficulties this Behavior shows dishonesty and untrustworthiness

it's these actions that reveal a person's true nature more than any words ever could try observing how people behave when they think no one is watching or when nothing is at stake you will likely gain insights into their true nature this is key to distinguishing real intentions from those covered up by sweet words by focusing on actions more than words we learn to better appreciate the depth of a person's character this practice not only helps us see the true nature of our friends and Associates but also Al encourages us to reflect on our own behavior

remember our character is defined by what we do not just what we say number two evaluate their response to your success in everyday life people's reactions to your success reveal their true feelings jealous individuals often display envy and can't hide their discomfort when they see others succeed they may try to undermine your achievements with baseless criticism or fake congratulations while harboring dissatisfaction this not only damages relationships but also exposes the darker aspects of their character there's a saying the only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday someone who

truly respects and supports you will be happy to see you progress and succeed because they understand that each of your achievements is a step forward in your journey of self-improvement conversely those who resent you will see your success as a threat a sign that they are lacking or not putting in enough effort think back to the last time you achieved something significant how did the people around you react how did those close to you respond you'll recognize who is genuinely sincere and wise by their reactions supportive individuals will share your joy and celebrate your achievements

happy for you because of the hard work you've put in their feedback is often encouraging supportive and free of negativity on the other hand jealous or deceitful people will try to diminish or deny your achievements they may spread rumors offer unwarranted criticism or even attempt to sabotage your success they might make subtle criticisms or downplay your accomplishments considering your success a fluke and denying your efforts so what do you do when you realize someone in your life is jealous and deceitful will you confront them or keep your distance to protect yourself remember according to stoic

philosophy we must learn to let go of what we cannot control focus on developing yourself and building sincere relationships instead of getting caught up in a cycle of jealousy and lies we can discern a person's honesty not only by observing how they react to your success but also by how they treat people of lower status now let's move on to lesson number three number three notice how they interact with those who can't benefit them stoic philosophy teaches us that respect and compassion should be extended to everyone especially those who are weaker or of lower status

a noble soul never looks down on anyone when we observe how others treat those of lower status we should pay attention to the sincerity of their actions truly thoughtful people whether at the Pinnacle of power or just an ordinary person treat everyone with respect and kindness they understand that each person has inherent value regardless of their position whether interacting with the prime minister of a country or a service employ they maintain a sincere and respectful attitude conversely jealous and deceitful individuals often show kindness only when there are benefits or when they are under supervision they

tend to despise and mistreat those who have no value to them showing arrogance and cruelty if someone's attitude toward people without power differs greatly from their attitude toward those with power be cautious jealous and deceitful people often reveal their true colors when dealing with the vulnerable for example consider a colleague at work if they are always friendly and welcoming to their superiors but overbearing and contemptuous toward service staff or people of lower status this is a sign of Deceit and jealousy they respect not people but power and personal interests such Behavior reflects their true nature

and reveals insecurity and pettiness in their souls observing how others treat those of lower status also allows you to reflect on your own behavior how do you treat vulnerable people recognizing and addressing shortcom comings in your behavior can help you become a true stoic always remember the way others treat those of lower status is the truest reflection of their character are you ready to observe and identify such people try applying this method in your daily life and notice the changes number four distinguish between praise and flattery excessive flattery is a clear sign of deception and

jealousy that many people often ignore sincere Compliments are always constructive but when they go beyond reasonable limits you should be wary remember it's not what others say about you that truly matters but what you think about yourself your selfworth should not depend on compliments from others especially when those compliments do not come from the heart do those compliments genuinely match the achievements you've made when receiving excessive praise ask yourself does this person have a motive are they trying to gain something from me excessive flattery is often a sign of insincerity the person using it may

be trying to hide their jealousy or take advantage of you Marcus Aurelius the Roman Emperor and stoic philosopher wrote in meditations it's not what happens to you but how you react to it that matters while receiving compliments can be satisfying what if those compliments have bad intentions excessive praise can lower your guard and make you susceptible to manipulation therefore instead of being Swept Away by insincere compliments learn to evaluate them objectively stay true to your core values and don't let flattery Cloud your judgment a good example is in the workplace you might notice that some

colleagues often flatter you but never support you when you need help they may act friendly and compliment you in front of everyone but criticize or speak poorly about you behind your back recognizing and dealing with excessive flattery helps protect you from fake and jealous people and encourages you to live more authentically always be alert to the motives behind compliments and continuously affirm your true self-worth believe in yourself and use stoic wisdom to stay steadfast in who you are building relationships based on sincerity and mutual respect have you ever encountered a situation where you were overly

flattered how did you feel and how did you react share your story in the comments below your experiences are very valuable to us number five monitor consistency when evaluating a person pay attention to how they act and behave in different situations observe whether their actions match their words saying is easy doing is difficult stoic philosophy encourages us to assess whether people's behavior aligns with their stated beliefs and declarations over time this is an effective way to recognize jealous and insincere individuals when evaluating someone observe how they act in various situations do they uphold their principles

and values consistently or do they change their attitudes and behaviors to suit their circumstances or personal goals a jealous and deceitful person often cannot maintain this consistency they might appear friendly and sincere when facing those they need to take advantage of but become cold and mean when those people are no longer useful to them for instance a person may claim to be sincere and praise you in front of everyone but then complain about your success behind your back you might notice strange gestures when they compliment you this doesn't just happen once but repeat ly when

you notice an anomaly don't rush to judge patiently observe more to see if actions contrary to words are a pattern it's crucial to note whether these are isolated incidents or part of a recurring pattern where is the consistency in their actions if they show a completely different face when you're not around this is a clear sign of jealousy and deception another way to gauge consistency is to observe how they treat others a sincere person will treat everyone with respect and fairness without discriminating based on personal interests they won't flatter one person and ignore another just

for personal gain consistency in Behavior reflects a person's honesty and trustworthiness ask yourself do you recognize someone in your life wife who is acting inconsistently do the people around you maintain their values and principles under all circumstances if the answer is no be careful such people may be hiding jealousy and lies we are halfway through our journey today thank you for your presence your support is a great source of encouragement for us in bringing the True Values of stoic philosophy to more people people please like and share this video to spread these lessons to your

relatives and Friends helping to build a happier and more peaceful world leave a comment with always observe carefully to let us know you are ready to become a stoic and full of energy to continue your journey with the next five lessons number six observe their attitude when CR criticized Marcus Aurelius one of the most renowned stoic philosophers once said if someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right I will happily change for I seek the truth which never harmed anyone it is the person who continues in their self-deception

and ignorance who is harmed this quote emphasizes that truly wise and sincere individuals are always open to receiving constructive criticism because their ultimate goal is truth and self-improvement when criticized a stoic sees it as an opportunity for self-improvement rather than a threat to their self-esteem conversely jealous and deceitful people often react negatively and defensively to criticism they tend to retaliate harshly correct others or even attempt to discredit the critic this reaction stems from a fear of exposing their true nature or a reluctance to admit their flaws have you ever witnessed a colleague or acquaintance become

angry or defensive when criticized this may be a sign they are hiding insecurities and lacking confidence let's take an example a good and sincere lead leader will listen and respond constructively to feedback from employees understanding that this not only helps them grow but also creates a positive and effective work environment in contrast an insincere and jealous leader May ignore or even punish employees who criticize them fostering an atmosphere of fear and tension ask yourself the last last time you were criticized how did you react were you open to receiving and reflecting on what was said

or did you immediately try to justify and refute it your answer can provide insight into both yourself and those around you before we move on to lesson number seven let me ask you this do you know someone who frequently judges and Compares others if so it might be time to re-evaluate your relationship with them why let's find out in lesson number seven number seven attentively notice unintentional comparisons in daily lives we often encounter unconscious comparisons these comparisons are not merely harmless remarks they can be signs of hidden jealousy and deceit according to stoicism listening and

understanding these comparisons is one effective way to recognize jealous and insincere individuals when someone unconsciously Compares you to others they might reveal more about themselves than about you these comparisons often stem from a place of insecurity and jealousy for example if a colleague constantly Compares your success to others it may indicate that they feel threatened by your progress those who frequently compare you to others might be trying to diminish your value making you feel inadequate and unworthy this behavior is often a way to mask their insecurities and create an illusion of their own superiority imagine

a specifics scenario you achieve a significant Milestone at work and instead of congratulating you a colleague says that's good but I think John is still better this isn't just an innocent comparison but a sign of jealousy your colleague might feel envious of your success and is trying to downplay it listening to unconscious comparison helps you identify who genuinely supports you true friends don't feel the need to compare you to others to validate their admiration or respect for you they appreciate you for who you are not in comparison to anyone else ask yourself who in your

life often makes unconscious comparisons are they really someone you should trust when you hear demeaning comparisons how do you feel stoic philosophy advises us to view them as external factors things beyond our control this clear distinction allows us to protect our inner Tranquility do you agree with this stoic perspective if so like the video if not comment zero so we can discuss and explore whether there's more beneath the surface number eight pay attention to their reactions to personal failures stoicism teaches that failure is not only a measure of patience and maturity but also a clear

reflection of a person's character and true motivations truly strong and honest individuals face failure with humility and a willingness to learn from their mistakes they understand that failure is an inevitable part of life and it provides opportunities for growth and self-improvement they don't blame others or try to hide their failures instead they accept and strive to improve these are the people you can trust and admire conversely jealous and deceitful individuals handle failure very differently they tend to seek external excuses to justify their failures blaming circumstances or other people rather than learning from their mistakes they

look for ways to hide and rationalize their actions they might badmouth others or create false stories to protect their egos have you ever met someone who always blames others whenever they encounter difficulties if so have you considered that this might be a sign of jealousy and deceit to recognize this more clearly pay attention to these signs when they fail do they admit their mistakes are they willing to learn and change or do they evade responsibility and blame others an honest person will not hesitate to acknowledge their mistakes and strive to improve whereas a deceitful person

will always protect their ego and avoid the truth daaku ikada once emphasized a person's true nature is revealed at times of the greatest adversity this quote clearly reflects the spirit of stoic philosophy it reminds us that how a person reacts to failure speaks volumes about who they are take the time to carefully observe how people around you handle their failures don't be misled by superficial words or actions have you had any experiences similar to what I've shared if so please like the video and comment on your valuable experiences below I'd love to hear from you

number nine evaluate how they share personal information Marcus Aurelius once said the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts the way a person shares information not only reflects their inner thoughts but also paints a vivid picture of their sincerity or deceitfulness stoic philosophy advises us to consider how someone talks about their successes and failures a sincere person will share humbly emphasizing the lessons learned from their experiences conversely a deceitful individual often exaggerates their achievements or even fabricates them to impress and manipulate others we should ask ourselves does this person seem overly proud of

their accomplishments do they emphasize trivial details to bolster their credibility moreover evaluating how they discuss their failures is crucial a true truly honest person will not hesitate to admit mistakes and share what they learned from their setbacks in contrast a deceitful person tends to avoid discussing failures or if they do they blame others circumstances or external factors instead of taking responsibility this is a clear sign of insincerity and internal turmoil jealous individuals often spread personal information about others with ill intent they might reveal Secrets entrusted to them or even distort and embellish the truth to

undermine others when someone spreads false or negative information they are trying to manipulate others perceptions and create chaos which reflects their own weaknesses and insecurities in everyday conversation s listen for these signs does the person frequently speak ill of others do they often compare themselves to others to elevate their own status these remarks are not just Petty schemes but also expressions of jealousy and a twisted Soul as we become more sensitive to recognizing these signs it will be easier for us to to protect our souls from negative influences if something makes you stop and think

don't hesitate to ask questions this leads us to the final lesson number 10 listen to your inner voice have you ever encountered this situation you have a colleague who always appears friendly and eager to help but you constantly feel uncomfortable around them if the answer is yes stop and listen to your inner voice this could be a sign that your instincts are warning you about dishonesty or jealousy from that person think about times when you felt uneasy or suspicious about someone without a clear reason that's your instinct at work your instincts or sixth sense play

a crucial role in protecting you from potential threats when you feel something is off take the time to think and carefully consider the situation does this person always try to compete with you do they often give compliments that seem insincere sometimes these small actions can indicate jealousy and deceit one question to ask yourself is why do I feel uncomfortable around this person if the answer lies in their inconsistent behavior and words it could be a warning sign from your instincts consider a situation where a colleague is always friendly and concerned about you but you still

feel uneasy around them pay attention to the small details you might have overlooked perhaps they frequently compare themselves to you and often make subtle remarks about others failures even if they don't directly attack you you sense an underlying competition in this case your instincts are alerting you to jealousy and deceit never underestimate your inner voice it is a powerful tool that helps you differentiate between genuinely good people and those who only pretend to be however while your inner voice is important don't ignore the voice of reason harmonize both to find a common ground make decisions

after thoroughly considering your intuition identifying jealousy and deception is not easy but it's a crucial skill to protect ourselves and our true values in life jealous and deceitful people can be anywhere from close relationships to Everyday social interactions they may seem like good friends but inside they secretly seow insecurity and conflict stoic philosophy guides us to live calmly and wisely by applying stoic principles we can identify and eliminate negative elements from our lives remember life is too precious to be wasted on people who don't truly support you use the methods we've discussed today to spot
