According to Buddhists, a person becomes happy only after he has achieved inner peace. And in order to achieve peace, you need to follow these simple rules!
Free yourself from hate
The fact that you hate someone only harms yourself. Your hatred consists of disgust, resentment, rejection, anger. Therefore, it is a rather aggressive feeling, which means that it will not work to become happy and achieve well-being while the heart is overwhelmed with hatred. It is clear that it is much easier said than done, in which case Buddhists recommend learning to show empathy.
Try to look at the situation through the eyes of someone you hate, try to understand him, enter his position, imagine yourself in his situation. No need to say that you will definitely not be in his situation, no need to renounce. Learn compassion to help you get rid of your hatred.
Free yourself from anxiety
It is natural for a person to be anxious, this is associated with worries about his future. We often worry that something bad, unpleasant, painful will happen. But you need to learn how to clear your mind from this. Live in the present, and also realize that your worries will not in any way affect the outcome of the situation. The only way you can influence the outcome of the situation is to try to do at least something. And just sitting and killing yourself with negative thoughts is wrong. All the same, you cannot change anything by this, but you will definitely harm yourself.
Free yourself from overconfidence
Arrogance makes a person vulnerable. When you begin to consider yourself better, higher, more successful than others, then at the same time you get angry with yourself for some minor mistakes. You find it difficult to come to terms with your failures, you have no motivation. All this comes when you are criticized. You create a lot of problems for yourself when you start taking yourself overly seriously. Understand that life is not so long that you can learn everything in the world, as well as achieve everything you want. It's much easier to live without your arrogance.
Become generous
It is very important. You need to believe in yourself and want others not to suffer. Generosity makes any person richer. As soon as you give something to someone, give, you become stronger. Only you need to give from a pure heart, not expecting something in return, not expecting gratitude and not putting yourself above others.
Free yourself from expectations
We often expect something, but it doesn't turn out right, and we get upset. So it’s time to expect less. Better to learn to take more. Any life experience is important to us, every person you meet is needed for something, any situation you find yourself in is necessary for you. Stop complaining that things are not the way you would like them to be. Instead, treat what is happening as an opportunity to experience, learn more, and even improve your well-being.
These rules need to be used on a daily basis, only then will they begin to bear fruit. Over time, you will realize how easy it has become for you to live, what a happy person you are, you will understand your well-being. Understand that it is very easy to complicate your life, but if you adhere to the Buddhist rules, it becomes clear that being positive, humble, and being able to live in a simple way is much easier and more useful.
