Finding Wisdom Within Ourselves
In this episode, the speaker emphasizes the importance of looking within ourselves to find wisdom. Growing up, many of us are taught to rely on the opinions of others and seek external validation. However, Marcus Aurelius reminds us that the wellspring of good lies within us, ready to bubble up if we just dig. The culture we grow up in can influence our self-reliance and self-confidence. To truly know ourselves, we need to pay attention to our own feelings and beliefs, rather than constantly seeking validation from others. Trusting ourselves and making decisions based on what is right for us can lead to personal growth and success.
