“You are wise when you know what to ignore.”

What does it really mean to be a wise person? Is it about knowledge? Is it about wisdom? Or is it about how you live your life? Or is it about what is important to you?

According to Don Miquel Ruiz, “You are wise when you no longer act against yourself. You are wise when you live in harmony with yourself, with your own kind, with all of creation.” You can train yourself to become a person of wisdom. All you have to do is to change how you make certain decisions. You are wise when you are responsible for your decisions. You are wise when you know what is important to you in your life. You are a person of wisdom when you know what you want and you go for it with all your might. That is what wise people do. They don’t live their lives based on other people’s opinions. They live their lives based on their own opinions. You are wise when you choose your path, pursue your goals, and rise up again when you are knocked down. Don’t worry about where you are, worry about where you are going. Because where you are going matters more than where you have been. Trust yourself, work yourself, and your life will take care of itself.

Why It Is Important To Stop Worrying Yourself

“Worry takes your time away.”

You have better things to do than to worry your life away. Worry is just worry. It is nothing. It can’t change your life. To really live your life, worrying yourself is not the right thing to do for yourself. It doesn’t feel good to worry about things that we cannot control. Look, my friends, whatever you cannot control, whatever you cannot change, do not worry yourself about it. Because whether you worry yourself or not, the thing is not going to change. Instead of worrying yourself, just think of what you can do to make things better.

Instead of worry your life away, why not think of what you can do to change what you are worrying yourself about? Think of what you can do to make things better. Put your thoughts together. Do not waste your time. Worry is just worry. It never yields anything positive. Instead, it wastes your precious time.

Whatever you face in your life, face it. Because you are always going to face difficult things. When you face something terrifying, what are you going to do? How are you going to make the situation better? The best way to make things better for yourself, in my opinion, is to stop worrying yourself. Things will not always go your way. When you don’t get what you want, it is not the end of the world. Be grateful that you are still alive to make things better for your life. Just do what you can do to make things better. But make sure you are doing the right thing. Because as you do, so you get.
