🏛️ Stoic Quote

What people say or think about him, or how they treat him, isn’t something he worries about. - Marcus Aurelius

In our modern world of social media, it's easy to get caught up in seeking approval and validation from others. Instead, focusing on our own actions and behaviors can bring true fulfillment. For example, if a coworker makes a negative comment about your work, staying focused on improving your skills rather than seeking their approval can lead to personal growth and resilience.

For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

The Bible verse from Galatians emphasizes the importance of focusing on pleasing God rather than seeking validation from others. This aligns with the lesson by highlighting the significance of prioritizing personal growth and values over external approval, leading to a more virtuous and principled life.
