I am a master of my life
"Know yourself, and you'll get to know"
Universe and Gods
Imagine, that you are an emperor or an empress.
The empire you rule over is your life. Any results: whether
bright or plain, successful or not are subject to you. Be mindful!
Being a person of high power you are at the same time a maker of your own history and a master with clever hands.
Speaking of destiny in your own hands:
Once upon a time a wise man lived in an ancient town. The world rang with his fame. But there appeared a man who envied his glory. He made up his mind to invent the question, the wise man couldn't answer. He enviously thought: " I'll catch a butterfly, then I'll set it between my closed palms and ask the wise man: " Tell me, oh great one, if the butterfly in my hands is alive or dead. If he answers: "It's alive", I'll grip my palms and the butterfly will die. If he says - "It's dead", I'll open the palms and it'll fly away, and then everybody will understand who is wiser." It happened so. But to the envious man's question the wise man answered: "Everything depends on you".
It's really so. In your empire you are the arbiter of your own destiny. And you can purposely and wisely rule it over. Being what? A victor or a vanquished man, an embittered pessimist or a person without any complexes. It's your choice!
What does it look like to live as both a victor, an emperor as well as a master at the same time? Take a good look in the mirror and perhaps you will find the answers.
In the first place, he LIVES, not survives. Like an ocean liner the victor pursues a course of his goal in spite of challenging waves and winds of changes. The master doesn't only adapt to life, but also consciously anticipates it: plans the results, forecasts the events and projects the nearest future, solves untypical problems and answers the most important questions. If he is in need he can easily turn into a submarine or an aqua plane, or a new means of water transport, creating the prosperous life due to his versatility, being not a helpless contemplator. Do YOU feel that you live happily?
Secondly, a victor, like a brave tale personage, is able to constitute himself and make the best choice in any situation, including problems, stresses, and indefinite or untypical events. In any situation a man is known to have at least two choices: to say "yes" or "no", "to be" or "not to be". But a master has much more choices:
- three: to the left, to the right, forward
- four: to the East, to the West
- 27 - 30 : to the Wonderland
- 77: over the oceans and seas
- uncountable quantity - "to the strange lands without any purpose".
Every man is the architect of his own fortune.
Thirdly a master must be a man with his lofty mind and high moral spirits. He is motivated not only by the necessities of the animal world, but also on the high human values: "ego, people, life".
The difference between a victor and a vanquished man is a principle thing: the concentration on the satisfaction of natural needs leads to losing the opportunities to recognize the eternal values (life, truth, humanity, beauty, simplicity, order, unique, integrity, justice), that leads to losing life's mystery and wisdom. Do you think it's possible to achieve the kings' goals without stepping on other people's toes?
According to the laws of dialectics the answer is "no".
EVERYTHING REVERTS TO ITS ORIGINAL STATUS, AND IN HUNDREDFOLD.
