Don't Postpone Happiness!
Don't postpone happiness! Promise yourself to spend more time with those who give your life meaning. Cherish the wonderful moments and bask in them. Do what you've always wanted to do. Climb the rock you've always dreamed of climbing or learn to play the trumpet. Dance in the rain or start a new venture. Learn to love music, learn another foreign language, and reignite the ability to be amazed that you had in childhood. Don't postpone happiness for the sake of achievements.

Don't be Afraid to Change
Do not be afraid to change. Changes are frightening because they require you to step out of your comfort zone. But it is in changes that a new version of you is born – stronger, more aware, and happier. Allow yourself to grow. Allow yourself to dream bigger and take steps towards it. Even if it’s scary, even if it feels like everything is going wrong. Every step towards change is a step towards freedom. Do not be afraid to let go of the old to allow in the new.

Valuable People in Life
In fact, it's rare to meet a person with whom everything is good in every sense. To listen, to watch, even just to be silent. Someone you can turn your back on without fear of being hurt. With whom it is easy and simple, and you don't need to pretend to be someone you are not. When you can be yourself and understand that this feeling is mutual. Such people come into our lives very rarely, and therefore they are more valuable, and that's why it's so painful and frightening to lose such people. Fate sometimes plays cruel games with us by sending us such people and then taking them away. Thus, it makes us realize that nothing in this world is eternal.

Can serious relationships be formed through online dating?
Is it possible to form serious relationships by meeting online? With the development of the internet, we communicate more on social networks, we make new acquaintances, we are scheduled for dates, we like each other and draw certain conclusions. Online dating can at most lead to flirting, and now, with more and more dating apps, we see that people meet, date, and fall in love. Meeting online is easy. When communicating, there is no embarrassment, and it's easier to open up and start a conversation. Through dating sites, you can find out how interesting someone is to you and whether it is mutual. A downside is that there are often not very successful matches, but it's like in life: choose and check.

Relationships should not be a burden
Relationships should not be a burden. They should not stress you out and deplete your inner strength. Compromises, concessions, mutual help. Yes, all that is clear. But! All this should happen easily and without that stupid feeling as if your life force is being drained. With a person, it's either easy or not. Either good or bad. And if you see that it's bad and these relationships are suffocating you, leave before it's too late. Before there is that strong attachment that ties you down like a hundred-pound weight.

The Beauty of a Man in the Classical Male Character
The beauty of a man lies in the classical male character, and character doesn't mean banging a fist on the table and shouting: 'It will be so because I said so!' No. The character and strength of a man lie in being able to explain calmly and listen with understanding, without hurting a woman's dignity, without crushing a woman's pride, but also without offending his own vanity and losing male honor. And to be the first to seek reconciliation, rather than selfishly waiting for weeks for the woman to come on her own, and then spending another three months nagging her. A man's beauty lies in his reliability, in his ability to forgive women's whims, weaknesses, and caprices, but not allowing these to be exploited. In his ability to be a man and a father, rather than merely seeming like one. In his readiness to help with the child if she is tired. In his ability to endure the blows of Fate, learn lessons from them, and teach others.

One of the Best Tips in Unclear Relationships
One of the best tips in unclear relationships is: Imagine that it will always be like this. He will always behave this way, always be like this. And understand that there will be no future and no rewards for your patience. And no miraculous changes either. There is only the present. And it is like this. How does it feel to you? If it is bearable for you, then accept it wholeheartedly and stay. If you feel bad, then understand that it may never change. And decide.

Useful Meditation
In our culture, a negative attitude towards oneself is too widespread. This meditation will help you counteract any negativity, including such manifestations as shame and low self-esteem. Throughout the day, track all your internal monologues and note how often you speak negatively about yourself. It might look something like this: "I’m an idiot, I forgot my notebook" or "I hate my body, I am too fat." Sound familiar?

Beneficial Meditation
Sit on a cushion or chair in a calm place. Envision the image of the higher power in which you believe. This could be Jesus Christ, Buddha, Shakti, Mohammed, or your own inner wisdom. Imagine this image looks at you with love and compassion, accepting you as you are. Understand that the higher being does not require you to constantly 'develop' something in yourself to deserve its love. Know that God wants you to accept yourself as you are and to treat yourself with the same love and respect with which He treats you.

Limited Perspectives
You cannot speak about the ocean with a frog that lives in a well, as its understanding is limited by the space it inhabits. You cannot speak about ice with a summer insect, as its understanding is limited by the season in which it lives. You cannot speak about the Way with a scholar who has dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge, as his understanding is limited by knowledge. When you leave your well and see the great ocean, you will understand how narrow your perspective was. Zhuangzi.

True Peace through Movement
True peace is not found in idleness; it is achieved in movement when the mind finds harmony amidst the bustle. Happiness found only in joy is not genuine. Only when you learn to find joy in difficulties do you comprehend the essence of the human heart.

The Light of Love
If you knew how your face changes when you talk about someone you love. About a child, a grandmother, a grandfather, a parent, a loved one. Even about a dog or a cat. All tension disappears, all wrinkles smooth out, and a soft light flows from your eyes. And on your lips - a serene smile. And this light of love transforms you, making you extraordinarily beautiful. Extraordinarily kind. Tender. And a bit of this bright energy of love is conveyed to others. In these moments, you can be admired or have your portrait painted. Wonderful and, unfortunately, brief moments amidst the hustle and worries of life. We should remember more often those we love. To whom we are sincerely attached. Who fill our hearts... And everyone becomes more beautiful, tender, and kind, more compassionate to each other. And all it takes is to talk to a person about someone they love. To remind them. And fill them with light. And fill others.

Where does the resentment come from?
Where does the resentment come from? From our habit of coloring everything emotionally, and sometimes exaggerating, dramatizing. For example, the boss snapped at a subordinate, and in front of colleagues too. What's in the mind of the offended employee? «What right did he have to raise his voice at me, and in front of everyone?! He humiliated me, insulted me!» But if we discard all emotions and just dryly state the facts - what happened? The boss spoke loudly to a subordinate, people were standing nearby. Not so offensive anymore? The boss may not have even thought of humiliating the employee. He just acts first and thinks later, moreover, he doesn't know how to control his emotions. But that's his problem, let him deal with it. And remember recipe #1? He's not obligated to care about the feelings of his subordinates. That's his choice. And we have ours.

How to Stop Feeling Offended?
Remember recipe No. 2. Let go of all emotions, break down the event into several small parts, and see what remains at the core. Usually, these are completely neutral actions, which are hardly worth feeling offended by. Try to process another offense in this way. Practice, practice, and more practice.

How to Stop Feeling Offended?
Recipe #3. Similar to the previous one. Here, too, it is necessary to discard your emotions and those of your interlocutor, and also arm yourself with a virtual translator. For example, if someone in the crowd shouts after you "Where are you going!", you need to switch to translating from rude to polite. Then it turns into something like "I'm sorry, but that was my foot and it hurts a lot." What is there to be offended about? On the contrary, you can show compassion.

Recipe No. 4. If you respond to biting remarks directed at you with offense, it's time to remember the famous phrase: "If you want to avoid criticism – do nothing, say nothing, and be nobody." So those very barbs are most likely a sign that you're not standing still and have achieved something in life. And the higher you rise, the more successful you become, the more criticism you'll hear. And there's nothing to be offended about, be proud of yourself!

In the same situation, remedy #5 will help. Just imagine that your offenders are little children. They want to annoy you or draw attention to themselves. Will you be offended by children? You are an adult. Don't you find their attempts amusing and funny?
