We need to get prepared to face environments where suffering is the norm, which means getting ready to face darkness out of the sudden, and dealing constantly with obnoxious situations as part of our daily activities. It's extremely important that we keep performing our body and mind training, understanding we've no control on the outside yet we've all control over the self, enabling us to take action in either similar or different situations we may have already experienced in the past. It's by choosing to be at peace deep within, which implies genuinely manifesting no negative emotion, that we make the right choice every single time we make a decision in the present moment.
Making decisions isn't easy. Actually, those are the toughest things we make during our life journey. Decisions imply the act of pursuing one path instead of another, consciously considering all the pros and cons we may think of in the present moment. It's through the ability to make decisions, even if we make mistakes doing it, that we experience progress, advancing in the personal journey of seeking the right path to follow, eventually finding the way towards a conscious and meaningful way of living.
A conscious and meaningful way of living has nothing to do with whether the possession of material values, and the illusory world they can bring to us. Obtaining material values is a combination of talent and opportunity presenting itself before us, configuring nothing but an additional asset at hand available to our conscious mind. If we can acquire material values at the same time we keep our mind focused on the path towards a meaningful life, letting no illusion influencing and leaning the self to step into a period of suffering, we're doing great. It's one kind of path that can lead us to enlightenment. However, we're just a fool if we think the possession of material values is the only way to support the self in the journey of our personal evolution, embracing a conscious and meaningful way of life. Whether we've material values available at hand, we've just to learn how to let go of any negativity deep within.
The moment we learn how to let go of any negativity deep within, converting such negativity into something helpful to our personal evolution, it's the moment we understand what the true purpose of life is.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
