Your destiny awaits
You were created for a specific purpose. The real pleasure in life
is doing what you were born to do.
""Absolutely everything in this world, a
simple horse or a vine, was created for a
specific purpose. Think about it, and for
what task or problem were you created?
The real pleasure in any man's life is to do
what he was created for and what he was
born for."

Master the Present Moment
"Forget the past. Don't fear the future. Live now. "
Learn from yesterday
Extract lessons, then release it.
Act in this moment
Perform each action as if it were your last.
Achieve your goals
Only through presence and intention.

5.

Ignorance, Not Evil
Negativity stems from lack of understanding
Rudeness, ingratitude, arrogance—all born of ignorance about
good and evil.
"In the morning, learn to tell yourself: today I will once again
face obsession, ingratitude, arrogance, disloyalty, ill-will and
selfishness — all these negative things coming from others
stem from a banal ignorance of what is good or evil. For my
part, I have long realized the nature of good and its nobility,
the nature of evil and its meanness, as well as the nature of
the culprit himself, who is my brother (not in the physical
sense, but as a similar being); therefore, none of this can harm
me or involve me in something shameful or humiliating."

Rise Above Opinion
You are the emerald
“Think about it, does a truly beautiful, intelligent or talented
critic need anything? Does he care about her?
Would a sparkling emerald suddenly deteriorate if it was criticized
by a boulder?"

Transform Obstacles Into Opportunity
Encounter resistance
Adapt and adjust
Obstacles are inevitable on every path
Humans can always turn barriers into new possibilities
". . . nothing can hinder our intentions or moods. Because we
humans can always adapt and adapt, turning any obstacles
into new opportunities . . ."
