“The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.”
— Marcus Aurelius

Simplified Meaning:
Our thoughts and feelings shape who we are deep inside. Imagine you keep thinking positive, happy thoughts; over time, you'll become a more cheerful and optimistic person. Conversely, if you dwell on negative or angry thoughts, you'll likely become more unhappy and resentful. This idea is similar to how a white cloth changes color when dipped in dye. For instance, if someone constantly worries about their problems, they might become a very anxious person. On the other hand, someone who focuses on what they're grateful for will likely become a more content and peaceful individual. By being mindful of our thoughts, we can influence our overall mood and character, leading to a happier life.
