Listen "Borrowed Time: A Stoic Christmas Reflection"
Episode Synopsis
At Christmas time, time feels louder — routines soften, another year closes, and life invites us to pause.In this reflective Christmas episode, we explore time, gratitude, and presence through the shared wisdom of Stoicism and Choi Kwang Do. Drawing on Stoic philosophy and martial principles, this episode is not about training harder — but training deeper.We reflect on:Time as a borrowed gift, not a guaranteeHumility as awareness, not weaknessIntegrity as something we live, not performGentleness as strength under controlPerseverance as the courage to returnSelf-control as balance in a season of excessThe quiet steadiness of an unbreakable spiritThis episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect without judgement, and carry your principles beyond the mat — into family life, rest, and the closing moments of the year.A calm, grounding listen for the Christmas season — and a reminder that martial arts is not just something we practise, but something we carry.
