A little tidbit of life's lesson that I've picked up along the way 🌸
Pre-Covid, I had the opportunity to travel the world and immerse in different cultures, learning their way of life. What stands in common between all is how to be a human being. It was most striking during my visit to Bhutan and India. They seemed to have unlocked the way of life, putting themselves above basic human nature and understanding how to live as a wholesome sentient being.
From them, I learnt that we can't control how others treat us, it is their karma. However, we can control how we react. Read this sentence again and let it transform your life. In life, you'll meet all kinds of people who's actions are a reflection of themselves, but your actions are a reflection of yourself. The ultimate goal is to be at peace with oneself, as we transcend into our higher being. The rest are just distractions, or simply said, a passing car on the road.
My heart goes out to all our Asian American friends, people in Myanmar and whoever else who's faced injustice from the action of another. Forgive the perpetrators, let yourself have the peace you deserve. Be safe, and let's help to educate the world that violence & discrimination is never a solution. There is no one true superior, we are all just human beings bidding our time on Earth. ❤️
