“Your health is bound to be affected if, day after day, you say the opposite of what you feel, if you grovel before what you dislike, and rejoice at what brings you nothing but misfortune.”– Boris Pasternak

No matter where you are, what you do, if you want to make peace with your soul, your life, your health, you must live your values. You must work your values. They are who you are. Without your values, you are nothing.

If you want people to love, respect, follow you, you must live your values. Don’t say one thing and do another. Don’t celebrate what is hurting you. And don’t rejoice at what brings you pain. Don’t do it. If you do, you will never know your true self. Do you want to be a stranger in your own body?

If You Want To Enjoy Where You Are Right Now, Focus On Where You Are

If you want to enjoy where you are right now, you must focus on where you are. Why? Because if you are not present, no one will recognize you. And if you are not there, you will miss everything that is happening around you. It is easier for you to waste your precious time living in the past than to focus on the moment.

To enjoy your life with yourself, with your friends, stop living in the past. It is your time to start enjoying your life. Why not live in the now? Why not live in the moment? Why not focus on what is in front of you? Why not celebrate yourself? Why not ignore naysayers? Why not?

Philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin said, “The future is more beautiful than all the pasts.” Your future depends on what you are doing now. If you want to live a better future, you must focus on what is in front of you. Because what you are doing now is creating your future. If you do it well, you will have a better future. But if you keep living in the past, the opposite will happen. Don’t let that be your own portion!
