FOR A BETTER WAY TO LIVE (RULE FIFTEEN)

For a Better Way to Live

Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealousy, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.

How do you know if you are the fairest of them all? Or the most talented, the most sought after among them all? Is that you have lots of detractors!

When people usually see you in front of their face, they see you in a picture frame. That's who you should be as they want it that way. But if you are the one who is growing, improving and going better than they do, then you are actually outgrowing that picture frame where they usually see you. They are not use to seeing you getting out of that picture frame and so the tendency is that they'll pull you back to fit again into that damned frame they built for you.

Don't allow yourself to be affected by jealousy, hate, gossips and discrimination because all these leeches are going to exhaust all your enthusiasm and energy – unless you'll be one of them!

Gossips are like swarms of flies they'll going to look for wounds and scabies and they're not there to hasten it's healing but to further aggravate the malady.

People who are fault-finder are like this they'll find small leak in your personality and pester on it despite of the wonderful things they see on you.

Don't pay hate with hate or anger with anger. This might sound a bit difficult when you’re in the heat of the argument, but hey you cannot really put off a fire by another fire, isn't it? What you'll get if you did is just a psychological recompense the other would be legal and financial liabilities which are worst choices.

Remember this, life is short. Always keep that in your mind, life is short.

Hoarding anger, hate, revengeful thoughts and the likes shortens it the more. Worst, it shortens life to nothing but the worst. In other words you’re just wasting your time dealing with people who are so angry, hateful and gossipers. Immediately cancel your business with them and run as fast as you can away from them, except if you want to help them get over it.

But here's one great thing about you, yes you, if someone gets into your nerve, “nothing external can have power over your thoughts if you don't allow them.” The problem is we do allow it to sabotage our peace of mind. Always make it a practice every day to tell yourself: “Nothing external can have any power over me.”
