Taming the Beast.

People are born into this world, live through it while aging, then die; however, most only exist, due to letting fear consume them–i.e., fear of aging, fear of an afterlife hell or heaven, fear of embarrassment, fear of failure, etc. etc.  Fear is always running wild in the mind of the unwise, untamed, disturbing, without a real understanding of fear’s nature; and exactly this makes the perfect recipe for just existing and not experiencing true, constant happiness.

Anything and everything is a lesson to be learned, even Hitler’s megalomaniac rampage in history had a purpose in the overall context of humanity’s evolution; furthermore, nothing, absolutely nothing happens by chance in this life, but it is the human mind which creates distances as fears when something unpleasant for the same mind occurs. 

Obviously, this is to protect us; however, often it becomes an obsession for the untrained mind, because fear spreads like poison in the blood and distances us from the clear understanding and deep wisdom carried by all tragedies.

Learn to stop your chattering mind from creating chaos and self-destruction, specially in those moments that bring challenges to you and to your loved ones; thus, teach and remind yourself to analyze with wisdom and introspection everything that happens around you that is affecting you in any way.

Do not give in to the ignorant ways of people and of your own wild mind, remain calmed and poised in the face of chaos and disruption.  This is not that easy at first, but with faith and by inner strength–all natural traits of self-love–these can be practiced and influenced in your own behaviors, thus eradicating your self-destructive reactions.
