Create your own life

Create your own life


Whenever we have a problem, we blame other factors. Society is addicted to blaming.


"If only I hadn't been born into a poor family... If my boss wasn't too controlling... If only the children would listen a little more..."


...just do it, ...just do it, it would be nice...


Blaming other people and situations for all of your problems and challenges can be justified or provide temporary relief from suffering. But that habit locks us into the very problem and prevents us from breaking out.


Anyone who is humble enough to accept and take responsibility for their circumstances, and courageous enough to take the initiative in finding what it takes to navigate this challenge creatively, is a person who uses the incredible power of choice.


'It's your fault' creates cynicism and despair.


When we embrace determinism with the belief that we are victims of circumstances, we lose hope, lose momentum, resign and stagnate.


"I'm a do-it-yourself puppet and an accessory. There's nothing I can do. Please tell me what to do." Many intelligent and talented people feel this way and become discouraged and frustrated. A common reaction in these situations is the cynicism of 'lower your expectations of life so as not to disappoint others or situations'.


In contrast to this, the principle of growth and hope proved through a long history is to think and act as if 'I am the creator of my life.


​


Share what you are learning with your loved ones.


Above all, practice what you are learning. If you don't learn and practice, you're not actually learning, and if you know and don't do it, you don't actually know.


If you discover the reality of 'constant effort', you will also discover that the character of the challenge keeps changing as you get better. There is no period in the life of a creator, a constant effort. The process is life.


Create your own life so that every day is a life of personal victory, not a life of winning in a competition with others.


Today's personal victory will become a transformative link between the past and the future.

Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom.

 Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom. ​ Get your hands off the hanging cliff. Enlightened people say I had to get my hands off the hanging cliff. I can't believe it's a story from Buddhism, which emphasizes mercy and love. Doubts can be easily dispelled. A 'hanging cliff' is actually just an object of obsession, believing that it will die if it is released even though there is no problem. The 'hanging cliff' is different for each person. It could be youth, health, family, money, home, or children. Or it could be love, it could be friendship, it could be the approval of others.   It is clear that the person who cannot lift his hand from the cliff is not free, he is not the master of his own life. Whatever it is, if it is impossible to live without it, and if it is likely that he will die, he is already a slave to the cliff on which he hangs. If you let go, you will die, but why should you let go? For the freedom to pursue new possibilities in life....

alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self.

 alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self. There are three classes of alchemists. A person who only imitates the language of alchemy without understanding it, Someone who understands but is finally frustrated to know that the language of alchemy is to be followed with the heart and not the head, A person who has never heard of alchemy, but has already become an alchemist by living the life of obtaining the secret of alchemy and discovering the 'philosopher's stone' in his life... ​ Failed alchemists just want to turn lead into gold. He was obsessed with the myth of the self and its treasure, but did not try to live the myth himself. ​ There is only one way to learn, to learn through action. God created this world so that the teachings and wonderful wisdom of the soul can be realized through the visible, and he calls it 'action'. Everything behind the earth gives enlightenment. If you look into even a single grain of sand with love, you can dis...

君子上達 小人下達

Learning flows from the bottom up to the high. ​ A gentleman faces upwards and a small man faces downwards. (君子上達 小人下達) .. - Analects ​ It means that a gentleman goes through high-level studies and disciplines to rectify himself and create a better world, but a small man concentrates on fulfilling his own interests and greed. In addition, <Heonmun> contains words that tell how to do it. That's 'Hahak Sangdal'. It means that no matter how high ideals and dignified life are pursued, daily learning must be a prerequisite. ​ ​ Education must first teach the near and small, and then the far and great. If you do not go through the process of solidifying the basics properly in order to achieve quick results and teach high-level things first, you will collapse at some point, like building a castle on sand. However, if you stop at something close and small, you will not be able to make progress in your studies. The beginning of learning is small and close, but the end of learn...
