We shouldn't mortgage our common sense to cheap thrills. Life does not go exactly our way. We have to be adjustable, aware and flexible without breaking the good principles. Favorable or unfavorable sensations are like putting shackles on our feet and trying to run the marathon of life. Positivity feeds on itself. So does negativity. The best medicine is self-discipline. To avoid regrets follow wisdom, not your favorable or unfavorable sensations. Ignorance is not bliss. It simply brings misfortune. Every day should be filled with gratitude, rather than favorable or unfavorable sensations. To be happy, we must count our blessings, not our complaints. The best entertainment for the mind is to inspire ourselves and others. Our good nature is a song of the heart. Our self-improvement is dependent on the intensity of our good practices, every day. Putting out good energy creates happiness for those around us and for ourselves. We should listen intently to the voice of wisdom but turn a deaf ear to the voice of ego. All the blessings which are given to us are lost if we take them for granted. Every moment is an opportunity for an inspired person. People who are handicapped by their own ego can never be happy. We should never miss an opportunity to inspire ourselves and others in any situation. Please don't concentrate on other people's faults. Just inspire them. It is not how much we want or how much success we have attained, but how much we have freed ourselves from our ego that determines our happiness in life. Real love supersedes all waves of the mind. When we can immediately withdraw from that which is not good for our soul, that is spirituality. Setting up high standards for ourselves is the greatest blessing in life. Be positive! Anxiety destroys the joy of daily living. How do we stay happy and healthy? Move the mind to wisdom and inspiration. Move the body to hard work. High standards are the foundation of a happy life. Wise people may change their decisions, but they never compromise their principles. We are born to seek eternal knowledge. | |
