5 Secrets to Confidence by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius

A recipe to find your true strength

Photo by Letters From E.K.

Confidence is a goal that everyone wants to reach, yet our internal world can be too intimated by the external world that we face every day, and learn to let go of the belief that we can trust ourselves and our abilities.

But when it comes to being an emperor, it is a matter of survival to keep on having self-esteem, and so today I’d like to share with you 5 secrets to confidence by Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius and hope you’ll find it beneficial as I have.

These are:

1-Eliminating our worries starts from within

2-It is our perception that allows something to hurt us

3-Become your own scale of goodness

4-Discover your true power by choosing where to focus

5-Let yourself transform

1-Eliminating our worries starts from within

“Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions — not outside.” ― Marcus Aurelius

2-It is our perception that allows something to hurt us

“Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.” ― Marcus Aurelius

3-Become your own scale of goodness

“How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy.” ― Marcus Aurelius

4-Discover your true power by choosing where to focus

“You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” ― Marcus Aurelius

5-Let yourself transform

“If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one’s own self-deception and ignorance.” ― Marcus Aurelius
