I'm constantly amazed by how easily we love ourselves above all others, yet we put more stock in the opinions of others than in our own estimation of self. … How much credence we give to the opinions our peers have of us and how little to our very own!
Spending time trying to impress others is time wasted. Stoicism reminds us often how we should not worry about things that are not in our control.
We risk losing what is important when worrying about what people think about us. We need to stay true to our values. Our lives should be spent trying to do what is right.
