7PS: The Ides of March ๐Ÿ”ช

Today is March 15.

The Ides of March.

So I find myself thinking about Julius Caesar.

Not how he died.

But how he once got kidnapped by pirates.

They demanded 20 talents for his release.

He laughed.

He told them to ask for 50.

Even as a hostage, he refused a discount on himself.

Maybe confidence is not optimism.

Maybe it is pricing yourself correctly.

So, where in your life are you still underquoting your own worth?
