Do you love yourself? Do you know yourself well? Do you know your gifts? Do you know how you can serve other people?
The first step to contribute to the world peace is to love yourself. Before you save others, first of all, you need to save yourself. You probably have heard the flight attendance’s announcement in the airplane. They ask you to secure your oxygen mask on first, and then assist the other person. So, before doing anything, we first need to take good care of ourselves.
Everybody is unique and divine. There is nobody who is useless. Everybody is a unique shaped piece of a puzzle. Nobody cannot be missing in order to complete a perfect vision. If you don’t like yourself, it means you haven’t reconnected with true yourself. Once you remember who you truly are, you start loving yourself and respecting yourself. Then you won’t hurt yourself anymore. You will start taking good care of yourself.
I believe the first step to love ourselves is to know ourselves.
Knowing yourself is similar to knowing your address. You know your physical address; where you currently live. Thanks to knowing your home address, after you go somewhere such as to the school, the work place, or trip, you are able to come back home without getting lost. Same thing can be true to our mental home address.
As we live in our daily life, we encounter lots of outside events. The outside events easily move your mental location here and there. You will be away from your mental home address.
Let me give you one example. Right after you wake up, you feel refreshed and happy. You don’t have any concerns nor angers. You are at your mental home base. Then, when you get in the car to commute, you might hear the radio news announcing the horrifying shooting at the university. On next second you might tune into the sadness from the victims and their family. At the same time, you might feel anger toward the criminal who took several innocent people’s precious lives. Another example can be at the time of dealing with the coworker whom you don’t get along with. Thus, all the outside events can cause you to get lost in your mental location.
In such cases, only solution for you to regain peace within you is come back to your original mental home base. Your original mental home base is the place where you feel calm and happiness.
I personally feel it is totally fine with us to get influenced by the outside events. Through the outside events, we can experience feeling a variety of emotions. However, after we experience the different emotions, we need to come back to our original mental home base as soon as possible.
Then, how can we know about our home base? I believe our home base is located at our true self. We need to remember who we truly are. In the next article, I will mention about the helpful ways to remember who we truly are.
