According to Marcus Aurelius's Meditations, the soul becomes dyed the color of its thoughts, meaning that our inner character is shaped by what we think about and focus on; living a life inconsistent with one's values and what feels inherently true to oneself comes at a significant cost to one's soul, making alignment with personal principles essential for inner peace and integrity.

What The Philosopher Marcus Aurelius Taught | Ivanka TrumpAdded:
I think like Marcus Aurelius [music] is meditations is so informative on so many levels. I mean here you have somebody who was literally an emperor [music] and he's writing this journal in a tent in a battlefield.
>> [music] >> So his perspective is amazing. And he once wrote that the soul becomes dyed the color of its thoughts and I think about that all the time. The cost to me [music] of living in a way that's inconsistent and not aligned with what feels right, what [music] models the right thing for my children, what feels inherently true to me, it's too expensive. It's too expensive for for my [music] soul, so I won't do it.
