"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth."
By Marcus Aurelius in his book which he did not intent to publish, Meditations
This quote serves as a powerful reminder that our perceptions shape our reality, and seeking the truth requires introspection.
During a recent team meeting yesterday, differing viewpoints on a client project left us in a state of confusion. Remembering Marcus Aurelius' words, I encouraged open dialogue, realising that each opinion was a perspective worth considering.
Boy that didn't work at first 😂. But eventually through meaningful conversation, we arrived at a well-rounded solution that merged all of our insights.
In our fast-paced world, it's easy to mistake opinions for facts.
Let's strive to be mindful of our biases and actively seek multiple perspectives to uncover deeper truths.
Embracing this philosophy, we can enhance our decision-making and foster collaboration.
Everything is an opinion
The practice of Stocism is a good thing.
I came to know about this term by a book on the same topic
The Daily Stotic. It's really easy to read and doesn't consume much time.
