Do you need or enjoy fear, worries and restlessness?
If you don’t, then why do you keep inviting them into your mind?
~Remez Sasson
Feel the pleasure of life
in every second.
Never be angry or sad,
Because every 1 minute of your sadness
you lose 60 seconds of happiness…
Keep smiling.

3 Simple Things You Can Do To Not Be Bothered By People’s Bad Behavior
“What we do today improves all of our tomorrows.”
In order to live the life we want, enjoy the moment in front of us and feel good as we move through the day, we always want the best energy flowing. We want to be able to pour all of our good passion and energy into whatever it is we are trying create and that means we never want to allow anyone or anything to get in the way of doing that.
The Possibility of Today:
1. Realize maintaining your peace of mind and good mood is something you can get better and better at. It’s a muscle that has to be strengthened and every time you push yourself to react calmly and not get bothered or upset by someone else’s bad behavior, you strengthen your “peace of mind muscle”.
2. Look at every situation as a test and an opportunity to strengthen your “peace of mind muscle”. As soon as something happens that would normally trigger you getting bothered, immediately decide you aren’t going to get sucked in. Remind yourself it’s just not worth it. Let any anger or frustration rise to the surface, but then choose to put your attention on something else that is more positive. Eventually, any anger or frustration will evaporate as long as you commit to not getting worked up.
3. Go get your “You Time” after an incident. Go for a walk, listen to your favorite song, do whatever you need to in order to preserve your peace of mind. You want to be at least an 8 on the “peace of mind scale”. If something happens that drops you down to anything less, notice that you are a little off and keep doing things that will help restore you to an 8.

Compassion compels us to reach out to all living beings, including our so-called enemies, those people who upset or hurt us. Irrespective of what they do to you, if you remember that all beings like you are only trying to be happy, you will find it much easier to develop compassion towards them. Usually your sense of compassion is limited and biased. We extend such feelings only towards our family and friends or those who are helpful to us. People we perceive as enemies and others to whom we are indifferent are excluded from our concern. That is not genuine compassion. True compassion is universal in scope. It is accompanied by a feeling of responsibility. To act altruistically, concerned only for the welfare of others, with no selfish or ulterior motives, is to affirm a sense of universal responsibility. ~Dalai Lama

Peace is built on the foundations of other spiritual practices: connections, compassion, justice, unity. It is a goal of all spiritual people. Peace is an inner state of well-being and calm. It is also an outer project of promoting nonviolence, conflict resolution, and cooperation in the world.
Practice peace by refusing to participate in violence either directly or indirectly. Try to stay composed no matter how agitated the people around you become. Meet conflict with equanimity. Disarm yourself — lower your guard — as a first step in disarming the world.
The inner mirrors the outer. Those conditions that upset the equilibrium of the world — anger, aggression, discord — upset our inner peace as well. You need to deal with them on both levels. Encounters with violence — a contrast to peace — invariably demonstrate the importance of this practice.
Feeling worried, upset, or “crazed” can also get you started doing peace. These states often signify that your emotions have gotten the best of you, and a practice to restore your equanimity is needed. Being even-tempered creates a feeling of serenity. And whereas being agitated can drain your energy, inner calm increases your stamina so that you can sustain your efforts to make the world a more peaceful place. This time the inner supports the outer.

a decision you will never come up
with a good solution. ~Unknown
Humankind’s survival depends on our ability to stop rushing. We have more than 50,000 nuclear bombs, and yet we cannot stop making more. “Stopping” is not only to stop the negative, but to allow positive healing to take place. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
