Don’t fight with yourself.



The Buddhism learns a Path to Peace. In Villa-Asia we also work with it.

One of the things following this path is to be equanimous.

Equanimity refers to the ability to accept what is without resistance. After all, if something’s already so, what’s the benefit of resisting? Equanimity refers to accepting things you can’t control in a given moment. And it refers to not denying or suppressing your thoughts and emotions. You can’t control the financial markets or a company’s market value. Also there are things in your personal life. So being equanimous about these things is a healthy strategy.

Of course, this doesn’t mean you must accept everything as ‘is’ and not make changes. If you’re unhappy with a situation and are in a position to change it, than do so. Do not sit still, work on yourself, do not wait but take the first step and discover your inner voice.

Literally, “equanimity” means balance. In practical terms it means don’t fight with yourself. 
Stop with battling but take life as it appears and enjoy the lessons. What do they say about you? Equanimity refers to an attitude of not interfering with the operation of the six senses (hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, the thinking mind and the feeling body) or sensory experience.

Just act of compassion.
