Before you start your journey, you must conquer yourself. You must conquer your ego. Ego is the issue with us. You don’t need to conquer the world, but you need to conquer yourself. Without that, you can’t do anything.

Marcus Aurelius said, “Yes, you can- if you do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind tells you.” Don’t let your emotions control your decisions. For example, when you are angry, don’t make any decisions. Because anger is bad. It is a bad emotion. If you allow it to control you, it will mess you up.

When you are angry, try to focus on something that will make you feel really better about the situation. Learn to master your own emotions. If you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer your emotions. If you want to conquer other people, you must first conquer your emotions. Because you are your master.

Forgiveness Wins!

“Forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.”- Hannah More

Forgiveness is the key to a peaceful life. When you forgive yourself, when you forgive others, you are on your way to living new life. Forgiveness brings peace.

Forgiveness is not about them. It is about you. When you forgive the people who have done something terrible to you, you are forgiving yourself. You are letting go of your anger. You are painting a picture of a new life. You are cleaning up your mind. You are letting go of your suffering. You are creating a new path to a new life.

It is hard to forgive. But if you don’t forgive, you are not helping yourself. You are damaging yourself- your life. The best way forward is to forgive yourself. Let go of the past. Don’t carry grudges with you. If you want to carry something with you, carry happiness and joy. Remember, “When you are being unforgiving to the people who have done bad things to you, it is you that you are unable to forgive.

Forgive yourself to forgive others. Forgiveness brings happiness, joy, health, peace, and love. Anger, on the other hand, brings suffering, hate, bad health, unhappiness, and poverty.

Forgiveness brings healing. So forgive yourself to heal yourself from the past. Are you ready?
