"A samurai has no purpose, only a path," reads the Bushido code. The expression, which, thanks to social networks, causes a smile on the face of the hearer, sometimes should be taken seriously. Human ambitions are sometimes so great that we cannot cope with them.

Someone has dreams, and someone has clearly defined life goals. But when a person does not achieve what he wants, he is overcome by apathy, anxiety, disappointment and powerlessness. In such a situation, it is better to reconsider your priorities and slow down the run, as they say. Today we will talk about the concept of Tao from Chinese philosophy, which will help you understand, accept and love yourself.



In Taoism, there are three rules of life that can be useful for each of us. The concept is that you don’t have to control anything to take control of your life. Inaction is the basis of Taoist philosophy. In order for inaction to prompt action, it is necessary to trust, appreciate and just live. “Sounds paradoxical and not so simple,” you would argue. Do not rush to conclusions, or even better, do not rush at all.

Every event in a person’s life has reasons, and some of them simply cannot be prevented, you need to accept the situation, that is, trust. Difficulties on our way will always meet, they cannot be avoided. Critical situations make us smarter, stronger, more resilient. The pain you've been through shouldn't break your spirit. It teaches humility and understanding that certain events just happen and must be tolerated.



A person always tries to overcome obstacles on the way to the goal, but sometimes it is necessary not to break the wall, but to bypass it, which means to accept and trust. At the moment of realizing this simple but important thing, despondency, fear, insecurity, despair will gradually recede. Life is beautiful, smile and let events take their course.



Appreciate moments are priceless, you need to be grateful for fate even for small, but very important gifts. The main thing is to learn to notice them. anything can become an om of joy, and this must be appreciated: good weather, a roof over your head, a minibus that arrived on time, hugs of people close to you. Then life will not be an endless obstacle course, but a truly expensive gift.



Take care of your relatives, give them your warmth every day, tell them how much you value and love them. It is very important to do this because we can never predict what will happen next. Forgiveness is an important part of a harmonious existence in this world. Be sure to say goodbye, even if it is very difficult, even if it is impossible to forget the bitterness. If we do not learn to forgive and dig into the past, looking for support for our grievances, we will not be able to enjoy the moment in this very second of such a fleeting life.



Think, think about plans, imagine what your future might be. Just be careful: the imagination is boundless, but this does not mean that life will pass exactly as you imagined it. One moment is the whole life that we miss, rushing to no one knows where.



There are times when you need to give yourself a break, understand what you are striving for, how you will achieve your goal, and at the same time not to miss all the beautiful things that happen to you at this very moment. Your heart beats four thousand times an hour, and every time it reminds you that you are alive. You are alive and free to do what you want with your life.



Spiritual life and worldview of man They are inextricably linked. The sooner we think about what is happening, the sooner we are able to understand whether we chose the right path in the beginning. If not, it’s time to choose another path.
