Buddhism is more than a religion – it’s a lifestyle.
You can pretty much sum the religion up like this:
1. Live a moral life.
2. Be mindful and aware of your thoughts and actions.
3. Develop wisdom and understanding.
It’s the only religion that focuses on a deep understanding of the human mind, as most Buddhist teachings are there to help “liberate” you from the perils and suffering caused by the mind…
Lesson #1:
The mind is everything. What we think, we become.
This is self explanatory. Your beliefs control your thoughts which control your actions which control your life.
Lesson #2
You deserve your love and affection.
Positive self talk, and self love.
It’s about muting that inner critic, and becoming your number one supporter and fan.
It’s about killing those confidence issues and feelings of “I’m not ____ enough”
If you don’t love yourself, don’t expect anyone else to love you either…
Lesson #3
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate on the present moment. There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth --- not going all the way, and not starting.
Mindfulness, and being present is extremely important for your happiness, and the quality of the work you do, and the life you live.
Lesson #4
However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good is it if you do not act upon them?
Ideas, without execution, are useless.
Whatever it is you’re focused on, just start.
Lesson #5
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control ones own mind
Everything you do and everything you are stems from the belief systems deep in your mind.
Control these, rewrite the narrative, and you change your life foreve
