15 Rules For A Happy Life Written By A Samurai 400 Years Ago

What in the world do we all crave for ? What are we doing this job for ? Why are we studying in a college for ? Hmm.... the answer is very simple and very obvious. All of us are aware of the fact that there is nothing far more important to us than our happiness. So, I have come up here with these 15 RULES written by a samurai almost 400 years ago.

 1. Accept Life as it comes.

 Learn to accept the life you're given, it will make you stronger.

 2.Drop the Obsessions to gain Pleasure.

 Stop chasing down pleasure and enjoy it when it comes naturally. Just live in the moment.

3. Never Live in Regret.

 The past is the part of your journey ,  but dwelling on it will never change it.

 4. Don't Rely on Impulse.

 Sometimes it's better not to follow your heart but stick to what you know for sure.

 5. Don't be infatuated with yourself.

 Don't miss on what's important because of your ego.

6. Complaining is Out of the Picture.

 When complaining, you allow the past to give you  hard time in the present.

7. Don't let Lust ruin your Life.

 Strive only for love and lasting relationships.

 8. Don't Believe Something just because You're told to.

 Don't follow the crowd. Form your own opinions.

 9. By All means, protect your Honor.

 Be true to yourself and live life as fairly as you know how to.

 10. Have no Fear of Dying.

 It only prevents you from living the life to the fullest.

 11. Money doesn't buy Happiness.

 Don't chase happiness in the form of possessions, embrace minimalism.

 12. Stop seeking Desire.

 Good things come when you live not wanting more than you have.

 13. Never allow Jealousy to take hold of your Life.

 Jealousy will consume you, just be thankful for what you have.

 14. Don't linger on a Sad Separation.

 This only holds you back from moving on with your life.

 15. Keep your options Wide Open.

 Don't limit yourself, never rule out matters of the future.

 It's fascinating howw these rules still apply today ! You can relate.

BLOG #1 - THE BIG BANG - COSMIC BEGINNINGS

Accepted astrophysical theories posit that at one point there was nothing: no stars, planets or galaxies - not even the space itself. The matter that makes up everything that now exists was concentrated in a single, extremely dense point known as a singularity. The force of gravity in a singularity is so great that the fabric of space time curves in on itself. In an instant known as the big bang, however, the contents of the primordial singularity escaped - and formed the universe.                The big bang is a catchy shorthand for a complex astrophysical theory, backed up with sophisticated calculations. The term was coined in the 1950s by British astronomer Fred Boyle, a proponent of a theory of the universe as a steady state. In fact, Boyle used the term derisively. Though the name stuck, it gives a false impression, making it seem as though the event that unleashed all the energy of the universe almost 14 billion years ago was an e...

Some Special(yet some common) Things to START BELIEVING in yourself AGAIN - PART 5

...to be continued. 13) Accept your emotions without judging them You all know what, you will agree to this. Emotions are very big players, both against and with us. Whenever we experience an uncomfortable feeling, such as sadness, fear or anger, our first instinct is to ignore it, reject it or push it away. And this fair enough, we don’t really want to walk around feeling emotional pain all the time. Emotions give us useful information about our lives. It’s understanding that you don’t need to “control” your emotions. They cannot do any damage to you.  This means allowing your emotions to just be without negatively judging them or trying to change them. 14) Get rid of these 5 toxic beliefs Your beliefs and thoughts shape the perspective of your life. The way you think, interpret and react to a situation depends on your beliefs that matter for you.  But if your beliefs aren’t accurate, they could be negatively affecting you. Here are some beliefs that may sabotage our life: i....

Questions that question YOU from YOU - PART 1

Sometimes we get too caught up in our every day lives that we tend to forget one of our most basic instincts as humans — to question. And our lives have indeed become so easy and so simple, that we never get curious anymore. Thanks to the tech, obviously. After all, we are i the 21st century. So, in this piece for you, I've got some questions to make you spark the plugs into your grey matter.(not the GRAY matter,  its the grey matter) Now what's the grey matter first ? Grey  matter  contains most of the brain's neuronal cell bodies. The grey  matter  includes regions of the brain involved in muscle control, and sensory perception such as seeing and hearing, memory, emotions, speech, decision making, and self-control. Enough for the intro, I guess. So, here are the questions. Q. Why do we all FEAR death ? Q. What is REALITY ? Q. Is our SOCIETY teaching us the WRONG things ? Q. Is TIME only a concept made by humans ? Is it something we RESTRICT ourselves with ? Q....
