Being aware of these life facts will save us time of pain, regrets, and hardships
We are going to have failures in life, people are and going to hur hit us, but that’s life, to resist that or to be angry about that is to not love life itself [Robert Greene, Author of the 48 laws of power].

It is in man’s nature to take things personal, complain, criticize and blame himself when he encounters unpleasant circumstances, it takes self discipline to embrace that which happens to us as a part of life and striving to see good in all that befalls us. Don’t be among those are just alive but are not really living. Train Your mind to see good in all, don’t judge but correct.

Think about this six (5) points :

1.We suffer more in imagination than in reality ;

The reality is that the world is completely indifferent to us but our imagination creates and makes us feel as though everything that is happening is happening to us and that we will be completely doomed if certain things later happen, but that’s a lie. imagination traps us countless times making us to be pushed around by circumstances, creating anxieties for us. The only solution to this is for us to come into the understanding; that the world is indifferent to us and that circumstances are completely neutral, only when we understand this can we truly begin to live.
2.Fear traps us:

It is human nature to be afraid or suffer from anxiety when faced with situation out our comfort zone. One of my favorite quote is “be afraid but do it. anyway “, when faced with anxiety situation or fear ask your self; what’s the worst that can happen?, one thing with fear is that the moment we starts doing it we will become fear+less, Fear is part of the human nature, confronting it is self discipline. Our talents are most at times hidden at the other end of fear, so let’s not allow fear to direct our lives.
3.The outcome is not in our control but do it to the best of your ability :

The outcome of job interview and application is not in our control it can only be influenced by us, if we end up getting the job or not getting the job is not something we should be bothered of, but reminding ourselves that we did our best and knowing that sometimes things won’t go our way even if we do our best is enough.
4.Change is constant ;

Taking note of the impermanence of things is a step towards happiness. Change is a universal law of nature, so whenever we encounters it lets take it as a part of life and adjust ourselves to fit the change. Life is ephemeral, so let’s appreciate everything we have now, Enjoy things and people without been entitled to them.
5.Pause is powerful ;

Pausing and taking a deep breath before replying when been insulted helps plus to maintain calmness and composure. Our mind is complicit in provocation, that is why it is important to not reply impulsively to impression. immediate response to negative impressions are always regretted sooner or later. Awareness of this five fact is enough to save from traps of life.
