1. EMBRACE how insignificant your life is, you are just another person trapped in a Roller coaster we call Life and however loud you scream, your voice will not stand out from the rest of the passengers. I feel as if humans have adapted recently at a faster rate then ever before, possibly due to the popularity in social media, to harbor thoughts of self importance. This is reflected in how society helps treat people with low self confidence. Rather than delving deeper in to the subjects mind to find the root of his or her lack of self esteem, we just stuff the subject with bullshit such as ‘you’re important!’ or ‘you mean something’ and most infuriating of all ‘you owe yourself more than this.’ This is, as doctors recognize world-wide, a backwards process as more often than not the subject ends up being an even bigger emotional wreck when they realize that they were lied to. The realization that their life actually means very little in the grand scheme of things is tough on them as they have been brainwashed by the doctrine of self-importance. I believe only when we accept that our lives are insignificant, we can lead calm lives without worry from external sources.
2. Exist less in the minds of others. Humans in general are great at exaggerating who we are and what we do, I think this is because we have always made connotations between ‘self-worth’ and the judgement of others. Far too often we find ourselves looking through the eyes and minds of others, we are quick to dismiss our own ideals for someone else who has more wealth than you or are more influential. However in doing so we are enslaving ourselves to the judgment of others and until we can regard our own opinion just as much as others we will be handcuffed to the other man’s feet. Dear reader you can only start to live a calmer life when you develop an awareness of your beautifully minuscule place on the wider scheme of things.
3. Appreciate your life, as it is preciously limited. Appreciate the little things is life like how your mother wish’s you a good day every morning, or how the old man that you see every morning lets you in the bus before himself.
p.s Dear reader, if ever you feel anxious or you feel as if the world’s pressing down on you, relish in the fact that even on our own planet there are millions of people out there who are indifferent to you. They know nothing about you, or the dilemmas of your career and intern you know nothing about them.
I hope this helped you feel better.
