A sound mindset goes something like this: Life is not here to fight us. We don’t have to defend ourselves against life. Instead, life is a benevolent force that through circumstances, people, and challenges guides us towards growth. Everything happens for a reason, every person is there for a reason, and everything is perfect. Every moment is a chance for us to grow and ultimately realize our true (higher) self.
“Do what you’ll enjoy, something that will make you smile.” What’s the point of working in a renowned company and making millions every year if you can’t smile or enjoy what you do? It would be torture, not work. And you can try and make the result of that torture look nice but people can always tell because that is the truth.
As much as the human mind disappears, our original, true mind is revealed. During the meditation practice, I was able to confirm that the true mind is a healthy, wise, and lively mind. When my false mind was thrown away, my mind became healthy. When my mind became healthy, consequently my body became healthy as well. Since I have thrown away the root of false mind, the causes which used to create the anxious thoughts are naturally decreased. Now that the positive mind has become dominant, negative thoughts become unfamiliar to me.
Wisdom brings insight, and consciousness expands to become a person with an enlightenment about life. These are the ways of life that I discovered by abandoning the delusions in my mind through Meditation. You can live smarter with true wisdom beyond simple knowledge.
The reason why you are afraid of talking to others is because of your mind. Fear of others is from the life I had lived. For instance, memories of rejection from my parents and friends or teachers, unfair and upsetting moments, moments I was hurt, traumas, etc.If you want to break the pattern of repetitive behavior that scares talking with people, you can cleanse the root of the mind that makes you fear.
After cleansing the mind through meditation for some time, I could approach issues from various angles and easily connect dots and suggest ideas at work that were accepted by counterparts globally.
People say the first step to overcoming mental challenges is seeing oneself. However, since we are self-centered, it is not easy to see ourselves objectively. In my case, meditation enabled me to overcome being an obsessive perfectionist and improve my mental health.
All I did was discard the root of my mind that is embedded in my body. How wonderful it is to change the way of life! The secret was meditation for me. Now I am free from all the habits.
The reason why we suffer after failing is because we feel ashamed (i.e. our pride is hurt), and/or we feel like we’ve missed out on an opportunity in life (this is due to our inferiority complex/greed).Through meditation we can get rid of our pride, inferiority complex, and greed. The more we do this, the less we will get hung up in situations where things don’t go as we had hoped.
By meditating on myself every day, I took my child one step at a time, little by little. I no longer worry about his future. I had many difficulties raising my son, but thanks to these difficulties, I was able to mature. It makes the happy moments even more precious.
