Do not take anything „personally“

How to stop taking things so personally - and

- and live a better life that way!

Why is this happening to me? I'm just unlucky! Everything is conspiring against me! I'm such a poor sheep!

Is that so?

NO

That's exactly not how it is, no human being is just unlucky (or lucky), there are also no conspiracies against us, who or what should be conspiring, please, and why should it even be the case?

Although we as Buddhists "know" that everything is already written, it can help if we "do not take everything so personally", but calmly and calmly accept fate.

To "know" something does not necessarily mean to act correctly, there is still a lot of "room for improvement" in every human being.

To take everything "personally", for this there are all kinds of causes for some fellow men. The gods have conspired, a weak self-confidence, strong emotions, the environment, health, we are quick with excuses at hand.

However, it is important to understand that the origin of "taking it personally" is within ourselves, not coming from the outside. It is just a feeling that makes us take everything personally.

Because negative things also happen to other people in life. But not everyone relates the occurrence of negative circumstances to themselves right away.

The question is, how we deal with these incidents, process them further. Whether we take them "personally". It is exclusively our own decision whether we take something "personally" or not!

"Nobody can hurt me without my permission", said the great Mahatma Gandhi.

There is no conspiracy of the gods, only we ourselves conspire against ourselves, if we take something personally, it is our own fault.

Everything that happens to us in life, according to Buddha, only represents our destiny.

Everything comes as it must, so why take anything "personally"?

Instead of worrying about a conspiracy against yourself, you can look into the concept of "enlightenment", what is "awakening", what did Buddha mean when he said "life is only a dream"?
