We are all woven of energy. This allows us to achieve the desired results, improve our lives, and develop our inner world.

Therefore, it is so vital that we be able to take care of our energy, renew our reserves every day, and develop our inner abilities. This is how a person becomes a better version of himself.

"Our enemy is the best teacher. The teacher tells us about the importance of patience, control, and tolerance, but at the same time, we have no real opportunity to use all this in practice. Real practice becomes possible when this enemy is met "- Dalai Lama.

Accept this

We live in a century in which the future has begun to be dominated by the present. We lose sight of the power of the present, enjoying the moments of planning for the future, and not appreciating all that we already have.

This situation makes us deny unpleasant situations because we are not able to admit that we cannot change them. Therefore, we must practice recognition and acceptance as a mantra. By accepting what cannot be changed, we have the chance to change the plan itself, making ourselves more open to new opportunities.

"Accept. This is not a defeat at all, but nothing makes you spend more energy than confronting and fighting a situation that cannot be changed. "

All at their time

The ability to pass through time without becoming his slave is the true strength of man.

You need a lot of time for all the things you want to do. But don't forget that rest is necessary and just as important as all the other goals you have. If you are rested, you will think more clearly, and the solutions will come to you on their own. Be organized and everything will happen on time.

Surround yourself with the right people

When we talk about the right people, we are referring to those who are part of ourselves, to whom we are dedicated, and from whom we ask nothing in return. People who motivate us to feel alive and free, to be ourselves.

"Get rid of those who always come to you with complaints, problems, stories of their disasters, fears, and criticisms of others. If someone is looking for a boat where they can unload all their garbage, try not to react to such a person. "

Take care of your health

Health is the foundation whose reliability speaks to how well we manage our lives.

You need a healthy body to make sure that you can complete all your plans and that you can achieve all your goals. Your happiness will constantly increase if you give yourself the time you need and take care of both your physical and mental health.

Learn to forgive

Awareness of negative emotions such as pain, anger, thirst for revenge, and the ability to forgive can significantly improve a person's life.

When you can't forgive, you choose to poison yourself with hatred and carry a huge burden on your shoulders. It is ideal to forgive, never underestimate the power of forgiveness, because it is immense. Forgiveness is a source of happiness, peace, inner peace. It will set you free, make you calm and at peace with yourself. The rest? It doesn't matter.

Keep your promises

By making a promise, we give the other person a piece of our heart. Trust is based on the love of others and our love for ourselves.

Don't make promises you can't keep. Sometimes you may tend to promise something just for fear of refusing or saying no. But you have to remember that a broken promise can't bring anything good. On the contrary, it will damage your reputation, and those around you will no longer trust you. So, when you make a promise, make sure you keep it!

"Spirituality is shaped by our feelings and attitudes toward other people."
