Calm | The School Of Life | About Oneself

in #writing6 years ago (edited)

There were so many struggles that I faced for the past days. I was also tired after the two successful events, The Awesome Smile Project and the Traverse: Budlaan-Sirao. I never thought that I accidentally developed anxiety. I felt headaches and fever, I don't know if I should take a break or what. As I was searching some videos to watch on Youtube. I found this awesome Channel which was the The School of Life. I watched dozens of their videos and I felt amazing. I just want the messages of the videos to be shared here in Steemit.


There are so many reasons to be frantic to run from one thing to another. To be pumped high with anxiety and dread. Yet as we know in our hearts, it is even more of a priority to keep an occasional appointment with someone we neglect in our normal frenzy. A deeper quieter part of ourselves.

We have intimations of it at night on the motorway or in the gray stillness of the early morning. It seems everything we do matter so much but to stay same we need to hear a different more humbling message that everything we do and our is in truth meaningless when considered from a sufficient distance.

From the perspective of the timeless stones, the relentless pounding sees the infinite heavens. From here you can see you can see Venus and Jupiter in the darkening sky. When dusk deepens you can see distant stars algebra andromeda Aries and the suggestion of a billion others beyond the weakness of your field of vision.

To counter our tendencies to exaggerate and panic we need to meditate on our utter insignificance when measured against eons of time and space. Even on our own planners, there is so much that a strange wondrous other and completely indifferent to us.

This is the village of Raqqa candle near Croce in Cambodia roughly 500 families live here.

About 800 kids go to the local school the boys play may come in they put a bottle in a box in the sand and shoot elastic bands. If you hit the bottle you're the boss. Most of the villagers are farmers to relax they play pool or go to the local cinema they don't know anything about you, your sorrows the gossip about you. The dilemmas of your career and you till now you nothing about them. We exist too much in the minds of others we are perpetual overdramatize errs of who we are and what we do.

We should learn to develop a red ear awareness of our beautiful minuscule place in the wider scheme of things to free ourselves from our constant debilitating anxieties to bring a little perspective back to our needlessly tense and preciously brief lights.


It was an amazing video. It was very worth watching. I definitely calmed myself.
Stay tuned for more virtues and philosophies about life, relationship, and self.
