Marcus Aurelius wrote, “Our life is dyed by the color of our thoughts,”
As much as we choose to experience life, we do not base it on the realities of events but on our perception of them and, even more so, what thoughts we curate from that perception. Have you ever been a part of something, and others have a vastly different perspective of the same event? An example is how one feels when it comes to cooking. For some, it will be the joy of creation, possibly a new experience and sharing with others, while for others, it is a necessity and a chore. The same activity with significant divergent emotions.
How often are we making judgments and assessments not based on the events or the person but on the color of our thoughts?
