Podcasts about core virtues

Who may dwell in God's tent, Who may dwell on His holy mountain? Is it the person who brings the fattest ram or the finest goat? Or possibly some other requirement?

Roman code or Mos Maiorum Mos maiorum means the way of the elders 8 virtues Fideas - Be trust worthy The Latin word fides encompasses several English words, such as trust/trustworthiness, good faith/faithfulness, confidence, reliability, and credibility. It was an important concept in Roman law, as oral contracts were common.  Pietas - Be respectful Pietas was the Roman attitude of dutiful respect towards the gods, homeland, parents, and family, which required the maintenance of relationships in a moral and dutiful manner.  Religio and Cultus - Be religious Related to the Latin verb religare, "to bind", religio was the bond between gods and mortals, as carried out in traditional religious practices for preserving the pax deorum (“peace of the gods”). Cultus was the active observance and the correct performance of rituals. Religious practice, in this sense, is to be distinguished from pietas and its inherent morality. See religion in ancient Rome and imperial cult (ancient Rome). Disciplin - Be diciplined The military character of Roman society suggests the importance of disciplina, as related to education, training, discipline, and self-control. Gravitas and constantia - Self Control or Temperance Gravitas was dignified self-control. Constantia was steadiness or perseverance. In the face of adversity, a good Roman was to display an unperturbed façade. Roman myth and history reinforced this value by recounting tales of figures such as Gaius Mucius Scaevola, who in a founding legend of the Republic demonstrated his seriousness and determination to the Etruscan king Lars Porsenna by holding his right hand in a fire. Virtus - Core values Derived from the Latin word vir ("man"), virtus constituted the ideal of the true Roman male. Gaius Lucilius discusses virtus in some of his work and says that it is virtus for a man to know what is good, evil, useless, shameful, or dishonorable. Dignitas and auctoritas - serve others with dignatity Dignitas and auctoritas were the end result of displaying the values of the ideal Roman and the service of the state, in the forms of priesthoods, military positions, and magistracies. Dignitas was a reputation for worth, honor and esteem. Thus, a Roman who displayed their gravitas, constantia, fides, pietas and other values of a Roman would possess dignitas among their peers. Similarly, by that path, a Roman could earn auctoritas ("prestige and respect"). Us military Code of Conduct The Code of Conduct provides guidance for the behavior and actions of members of the Armed Forces of the United States. This guidance applies not only on the battlefield but also in the event that the service member is captured and becomes a prisoner of war (POW). The Code is delineated in six articles. Article I: I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense. Article II: I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist. Article III: If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy. Article IV: If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way. Article V: When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give my name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause. Article VI: I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America. Spartan code of Honor The Spartan hoplite followed a strict laconic code of honor. No soldier was considered superior to another. Suicidal recklessness, misbehavior, and rage were prohibited in the Spartan army, as those behaviors endangered the phalanx. Recklessness could also lead to dishonor, as in the case of Aristodemus. Spartans regarded those who fight, while still wishing to live, as more valorous than those who don't care if they die. They believed that a warrior must not fight with raging anger but with calm determination. Spartans must walk without any noise and speak only with a few words in the laconic way of life.  Other ways for Spartans to be dishonored include dropping the shield (rhipsaspia), failing to complete the training, and deserting in battles. Dishonored Spartans were labeled as outcasts and would be forced to wear different clothing for public humiliation.  In battles, the Spartans told stories of valor to inspire the troops and, before a major confrontation, they sang soft songs to calm the nerves. Bushido code Righteousness (義 gi). Justice is the most important virtue for the samurai. A true samurai does not attack the enemy without an important reason. Loyalty (忠義 chūgi). Loyalty is the 2nd most important thing in life. The samurai should always be loyal to his master. The samurai should also believe his duty to protect his master is the meaning of life. Honor (名誉 meiyo). A life without honor is not a life. If a samurai makes a mistake, he should honor his name by committing suicide. (Example: The story of 47 samurai (the Ako Incident). Respect (礼 rei). A samurai should always respect his enemy. A samurai respects his opponent before and after the fight. Even if a samurai kills his opponent, he is very respectful to the corpse. Honesty ( 誠 sei). A samurai never lies. “Deception” does not exist in the Book of a Samurai. Courage (勇 yū). A samurai fights until the end. A samurai is never afraid of anything. He is not afraid of death. A samurai is always brave because he fights for something he believes in. Consistency (誠 makoto ). A samurai never change their path. He is like a dragonfly, he always moves forward, he never moves back. What is your code? Why do you need a code?

In our last +1, we hung out with my two favorite Joes: Scholar of the Hero’s Journey (and Grandpa in my spiritual family tree) Joseph Campbell, and gritty heroic exemplar (and soul brother), Joe De Sena.   Today I want to spend a little more time with Joe De Sena.   Let’s open up his latest book The Spartan Way. Page 14.   He tells us: “Through work and endurance racing I have come to know many people. Some of them were unforgettable. These great ones all shared the same core qualities. I call them the Spartan Core Virtues. Combine these qualities into one person and you have the ideal boss, the valuable employee, the perfect business partner, or comrade in any endeavor. Here’s a short description of each of the Spartan Core Virtues.   Self-Awareness: Know who you are and who you are not. If you don’t, you’ll be confused daily.    Commitment: Stick to it because the world is filled with people who don’t. You’re better than that.   Passion: If you’re not passionate about what you do, you’re not going to be great at it. Take things seriously and learn to be passionate.   Discipline: Set your rules and stick to them. Be disciplined about it.    Prioritization: Deal with the important things—important being what you define as important—first.   Grit: Get gritty. Break out of your comfort zone. Do the hard, scary shit. Find your passion and persevere.   Courage: This is the ability to stay focused and work relentlessly with both intensity and passion through virtually anything, especially through failure.   Optimism: See the world as you want it to be, not as it is. Be ever hopeful.    Integrity: If you’re not honest with yourself and others, then what are you?    Wholeness: Live the life of a complete and whole Spartan.”   There ya go. The Ten Spartan Core Virtues.   Repetition is the essence of mastery, so let’s go through them again. This time, if you feel so inspired and didn’t already do a quick inventory on how you’re doing with each, please do.   Self-Awareness + Commitment + Passion + Discipline + Prioritization + Grit + Courage + Optimism + Integrity + Wholeness.   So... What’s awesome?    What needs work?    What can (and will!) you start doing differently?    Let’s remember: It’s ALL (!!!) about OPERATIONALIZING VIRTUE.   +1. +1. +1.   P.S. One of the things Joe and I joke about is that I’m his brother from Athens. (Hah.)   Embodying those Spartan virtues?    Well… That, of course, is what Aristotle taught us when he said that the summum bonum (the highest good!) is to live with eudaimonia—to flourish by having a “good soul.”    How do we do that? LIVE VIRTUOUSLY!!    (Again, echo, the one-word summation of ALL of our work together? Areté. Express the best version of yourself moment to moment to moment and voila! Enter: Eudaimonia + a deep sense of flourishing.)   More on all that soon (and forever)…

Today’s conversation is about character. In 2019, looking at culture, and the chaotic way so many people interact in relationships, on the news, through social media, and in politics, I believe we’re in a society that is in a huge deficit of character. So today, we’re talking about twelve specific qualities of character that you and I should ensure that we employ every single day, especially when no one else is watching. Overlooking the Hudson River on the campus of the United States Military Academy at West Point are 12 granite benches, each inscribed with a word representing a key leadership virtue: compassion, courage, dedication, determination, dignity, discipline, integrity, loyalty, perseverance, responsibility, service, and trust. These benches remind cadets of the qualities that lead to victory and success, not just on the battlefield, but in all of life. Joining us today to talk about these twelve virtues for life is NBA legend, co-founder and senior vice president of the Orlando Magic, Pat Williams. Pat Williams has been a lifelong student of life and leadership. As a young man, he learned that who you are on the inside is vastly more important than what you do on the outside. As co-founder and senior vice president of the Orlando Magic, Pat, a basketball Hall-of-Famer, is responsible for drafting Shaquille O’Neal and Anfernee "Penny” Hardaway, and led the Philadelphia 76ers to a world championship in 1983. But life hasn’t always been on the up for Pat. In February of 2011, Pat was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, an incurable form of cancer. Miraculously, though, after several rounds of treatment, Pat’s doctors have told him that they are unable to detect any myeloma in his body and have given him a clean bill of health. Pat’s love for family is demonstrated with his wife, Ruth, as they are the parents of 19 children, including 14 adopted from four nations. With his signature enthusiasm and insight, today, Pat Williams is going to share the incredible stories of West Point graduates who exemplified 12 essential qualities of leadership character, from the Civil War to the War on Terror. And He's going to teach all of us how to develop these 12 essential virtues in our lives, whether you are in the corporate world, the academic world, the military, the church, or in some other sphere.
