This came to me at just the right moment...thank you! I want something so bad, I get what I want and realize I'm still not satisfied. All I want is peace...this gives me some type of logical way to go about controlling my emotions and focusing on what's in my control. But I have to remember good times pass and so do bad times. I want to be happy no matter the circumstance.
Going through a culmination of bad things in my life right now. I was thinking about this message since I know about it already. Never knew the backstory of it. This came into my algorithm very randomly. Perfect timing.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RU-vid channel 5 months ago about self development. Now I have 330 subs and almost > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Chinese proverb: “ for one who has not learned to control their emotions a life of one hundred years is a tragedy but for one who is able to control their emotions a life of a single day is a triumph”
the teacher heard it from the Hindus and Hindu mythology- once during the battle of Mahabharat in India. Arjun a great warrior asked god himself ( shree krishna ) an incarnation of lord Vishnu, He asked "shree krishna, write something on this wall that when i read in my downcast I feel happy. And when i read in joyful times i feel sad" Krishna then wrote, " This time shall pass".
Im in a situation that finally pushes me to a place that makes me sad, drained, and afraid even. Stuck. Having 2 people who love me deeply, and I am at a crossroads in life because of it. Both I know long and 1 I have made many memories with, and the other I potentially have really good match. In fact. I would almost 99.9 % be certain about it. But the other one I have a lot of love for as well and is very difficult to imagine to let her go. Its a clash of prophecies inside me.especilly because a lot of love is involved. Its a really strange situation I should never have been in, and it may sound like a dream, also because any od the 2 want a bond till the end of out lives. And I know it can truly happen with any of the 2. But thats what makes it so difficult. As the choice is resting on me. Its painful. I carry difficulty ajd oain every day. Im confused. Troubled. Pain. And the other 2 also have pain. The situation is going on for a time that is slowly too long and feel my choice has to happen no matter what
That’s a terrible way to live life in my opinion and in the opinion of just about every philosophy and religion that has been around for thousands of years.
I like Estoicism however, control your emotions, face your fear, keep calm, keep silent, don´t rush, plan every word you say, keep out toxic people, keep anger under control, be wise, don´t fret, and keep your calorie intake in check. Plus, pay your bills on time, get up early, exercise, don´t buy in excess, don´t work too many hours, eat healthy, and the list of recommendations and teachings goes on forever. Will I have time to memorize it? Or better and more efficient, know yourself and accept yourself exactly as you are. Fighting to be ¨better¨produces a fight between yourself and yourself, result; mental Clinic for a long time.
