anxiety [Theme]

The more time a person spends using their strengths, the less likely they are to report anxiety, stress, or sadness.

Like beauty, worry is in the eye of the beholder.

Peter realized too late that he shouldn’t say that to his mother. She will immediately think that either her son was in a terrible accident, or he was taken to the police - when they say “do you know what happened to your son?”, there is no middle ground for parents.

We are all looking for happiness, we don't want to suffer. At this point, we are essentially just creating more and more unnecessary suffering. The coveted “millions of dollars” will not bring peace of mind. This money only brings more dissatisfaction, more suspicion, more anxiety. But people don't understand this.

Ultimately, people strive to please and obey. So it doesn't matter how bad it has been so far. You can reverse this train by making new statements about yourself, loudly protesting the previous version, becoming someone else and making yourself known to everyone. And, lo and behold! You will miraculously become someone else. People will start respecting you and stop insulting you. They will seek out your company and help you achieve your goals. It's completely up to you. So, get to work!

No amount of guilt can change the past, and no amount of worry can change the future.

If an atheist appears in front of you and says that he does not believe in God, you can read him a whole library and prove that God exists, but this will not make him a believer. But if in front of the same atheist you give evidence of an authentic Christian life, something will begin to work in his heart. It is your testimony that will bring him that special concern that the Holy Spirit is working on.

What will a man have from all his labor and the care of his heart, that he labors under the sun? Because all his days are sorrows, and his labors are restlessness; even at night his heart does not know peace. And this is vanity.

And he did not fall into bestial complacency.

any speech sound.

If your father calls you, run headlong, even spitting meat out of your mouth, if you are having lunch; if the parents are unwell, express anxiety in looks and manners.

Look at Baba's photo for a long time. Whenever the mind feels restless in the sadhana, take a break and look at the photo of the Guru (pratikriti) for a while. This will bring your mind back to your spiritual goal (Ishta).

Such is the nature of people. No need to listen to what they say before the word but. Feel free to accept rejection.

Negative thoughts, worry, contempt and doubt pollute our minds. You need to get rid of all this in order to improve the internal ecology and gain a positive outlook on life.
