Dealing with Negative People: Advice from a Roman Emperor

Show description

I believe happiness is 10% circumstances and 90% attitude. How you react to your circumstances makes the biggest impact - and the way you choose to deal with negative people is no exception. As the ruler of a vast empire, Marcus Aurelius had to deal with negative people on a daily basis. In his writings - the self-addressed Meditations - Aurelius provides us with a quote about dealing with negative people that I find to be an incredibly helpful reminder for setting my attitude.
