1) Awaken to Life!
Mindfulness- being completely present to the life you’re living
and what you’re doing- is something that can’t be understated. Expanding
your awareness changes every aspect of your life, in every way. It
really is as simple as that. The more you do, the more you’ll discover
your own unique peace and joy- and the more you’ll be able to let go of
personal struggles.
2) Change Yourself, Change the World
Everything we do, even the smallest act, is noticed by those around
us. Friends, family, coworkers, all imitate each other subconsciously
and repeat these acts. In this way, we’re all interconnected. Because of
this, by helping yourself you can create waves of influence in the
world, expanding to each person you meet. You don’t need money or
power…you just need to find yourself.
3) Find Compassion
In Buddhism, it’s taught that compassion is a trait of a deeply
developed human being. It’s easy to look at others and have contempt for
their actions, or be upset with their life choices. After all, not
everyone is perfect, and certainly not everyone is going to do thing how
we’d like them to be done. But compassion means seeing beyond that and
understanding people are on their own path- whether we like it or
not. Moreover, most people are motivated by urges of past pain that they
are not even aware of, and are trying to alleviate it. This kind of
attitude creates peace within, and heal wounds that you may be hiding
from yourself. Not only that, but it’s a powerful way to connect with
others.
4) You Get what You Give
Giving isn’t just about the gifts we buy others at certain times of
the year; it’s also about how we impact others lives. Compassion,
presence, and love are all gifts that cost nothing, and will be rewarded
by everyone around us. Life is a balance between giving and receiving.
5) Remove the 3 Obstacles to Happiness
In Buddhism, it’s taught that there are 3 main obstacles to finding happiness:
Every human being suffers from these 3 vices, and as a result
humanity as a whole struggles to move forward. The more you work to let
go of them, the more you’ll be able
