Today's Stoic Thought
“Become your own worst critic; see your work as if through the eyes of others.”Robert Greene
In modern life, applying this idea means stepping back from our own perspective and evaluating our actions or decisions as an impartial observer would. For example, before sending an important email at work, imagine how a colleague might interpret your words to ensure clarity and respect. This practice helps us approach situations with more objectivity and make better-informed choices.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the heart.
The verse aligns with the idea of stepping back and seeing things through the eyes of others to gain wisdom. By being open to different perspectives and being self-critical, we can make wiser decisions.
