When we act out or tell someone off, there is some relief for the moment but it doesn’t last. If we surrender and drop the story line, there is tenderness under all that harshness. By being kind to ourselves, we become kind to others; done properly it benefits everybody.
There are times when matters do not go your way, you feel confused and disorientated. Whether it’s action or waiting patiently, we should always try to bring the situation back into harmony. Once we are back on track we should reflect and learn to prevent reoccurrences.
When you have no enemy, you will always be victorious. If you have enemies, never underestimate them. Underestimating your enemy is thinking that they are evil, thus you become an enemy yourself. Victory will always go to the one that knows how to yield.
Change comes whether one prepares for it or not. It should be noted that making or preparing for change is considered a good practice. Engaging with society and others will help you notice and prepare for changes; also, it will help you find a way to deal with change and society.
Quote: If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things. Albert Einstein
