Two ways to change your life.

 Two ways to change your life.


Do two things to make a difference in your life.


First, you must live your life according to your conscience.


Between a stimulus (what happens) and a response (what happens), there is a space of choice. Ultimately, how you use the space determines your growth and happiness. In this space, there are four innate human abilities: conscience, imagination, self-awareness, and independent will.


Conscience is the power to rule your life. Life is not peaceful because you live a life that goes against your conscience. We know it in our hearts. We can look into our conscience by asking ourselves questions and hearing the answers.


Ask yourself.


What is the single most important thing you should start doing to get personal positive results?


What is the most important thing you are going to start doing to bring about positive results professionally?


By listening to the voice of your conscience, you will know what is most precious to you. It is the voice of wisdom, self-awareness, and common sense.


Another important question is what life is asking of me now. Think deeply. Without deep conviction, you won't have the strength to achieve your goals when things get tough. That conviction comes from the conscience.


We all have three lives. public life, private life, and inner life. Public life is what others are watching. Personal life is what you do when you are alone. The inner life is where you go when you really want to check your motives and desires. I strongly encourage you to be faithful to this inner life. For it is the inner life that prepares the heart to listen to the beneficial voice of the conscience.


Second, change your role.


If you want to make more changes in your life, you have to change your behaviour. But if we want meaningful change, we have to change the paradigm. A paradigm is a way of seeing and interpreting the world. The best way to change a paradigm is to change roles. When roles change, you see the world in a different way, and better behaviour naturally emerges from the changed paradigm.


Sometimes a role change occurs as an external event, such as a job title change, but other times a role can be changed by changing perspectives or changing perceptions of the situation.

Fatigue society, excess of positivity, dialectic of positivity.

 Fatigue society, excess of positivity, dialectic of positivity. ​ ​ ​ Each age has its own disease. For example, there is an era that can be said to be bacterial. But this era came to an end, at least with the invention of antibiotics. The beginning of the 21st century can be defined pathologically as neither bacterial nor viral, but rather neurotic. It is an infarct disease, not a contagious disease, and it is a disease caused by an excess of positivity, not the negativity of the immunological other. Therefore, it is by no means governed by immunological techniques aimed at defeating the negativity of others. ​ The last century was the immunological age. In other words, it was an era in which clear boundaries were drawn between the inside and the outside, friends and enemies, and me and others. The essence of immunological behavior is aggression and defense. There is a certain blindness in the essence of these immunological devices that have taken over the entire society from the...

Too human weakness, ambition.

 Too human weakness, ambition. Ambition is a desire that nourishes and strengthens all emotions. Therefore, this sentiment can hardly be conquered. For while man is bound to a certain desire, he is inevitably bound at the same time to his ambition. Cicero said: "Even the noblest are governed by a lust for the honour. Even philosophers, especially, write their names in books that say that honour should be despised." - Spinoza, <<Ethica>> Ambition is different from the natural feeling or desire that arises in a relationship between two people or between me and an object or event. Because it is their ambition to seek attention and respect from third parties outside of this relationship. Ambition works as it is in all human emotions and desires. The problem is that these ambitions can sometimes overwhelm the feelings or desires that you originally heard. "While man is bound by a certain desire, he is inevitably bound to ambition at the same time." - Spinoza ...

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...
