10. meditation


A special gift to my own self is meditation, which I practice
daily. Here breathing, mindfulness, health, peace, happiness and
extreme well-being unite to a spiritual unity. Every day is then
a good day, because with such a gift it is possible to be
pleasant, the I is cared for, the body is strengthened, the soul
is calmed. Buddha in his calm meditation pose has become a symbol
of Buddhist teachings for many people, his figures are in almost
every house, we see from his example that for a happy life we
only need our resolution "to be happy", nothing more.


11. recognize yourself in your totality


Only the one who knows himself is really wise, the one who learns
to recognize himself in all facets with the teachings of Buddha,
gets power over the ego, which makes man a suffering being in the
first place, which should urgently be put in its place. What
makes you as a person, what are your most important qualities?
Can you determine what makes you special as a person, sets you
apart from others around you? Can you write down 5 points that
best represent you as a whole?


12. diary


Your life is special and particular, which is why it is worth
recording the important steps. I keep a kind of calendar where I
note all the events that are important to me. And believe me,
every day is different, in the today, here and now, that's where
the music plays. What did you experience, what did you eat, who
did you meet, what were you happy about, what were you not happy
about, did you meditate, or do sports, what was going through
your mind? This is not about writing an essay, or a large amount,
no, keywords are enough (at the beginning), your life is worth
it.


13. focus as a filter


What is your goal, what is in your focus? We need to keep asking
ourselves where we are turning our head, where the focus is, on
what, and also why. Getting the focus right will bring you
incredible power and energy, be a wonderful gift to your own
self. Those who set the focus correctly (and honestly) will no
longer waste their energy senselessly, seek and find fewer
distractions, focus on goals, realize dreams.


According to the great teacher, none of this really matters, but
for the group of "feel-good Buddhists" it does.


The path is always the goal!
