Be Your Own Master

You often grasp unnecessary messages from what other say. What others comment about you seem to matter more to you. This way you annoy and worry yourself and complain that people don't let you live in peace. Your own attitude is the major cause of your worries, so you trouble yourself more. Why should you get carried away by others' comment - compliments or criticism? A wise self-confident man does what he determines to do. He is never perturbed by what other say. He is firm and focused to march towards the goal. Socrates was made to drink poison by the mightiest of his time, but no one could change his faith, his views. Banda Bairagi was forced to wear a wolf-skin and roam around in his town while his face was painted dark. But even this torturous insult could not distract him from his chosen path.
Dying for others' praise, following the popular trends, getting disturbed by negative comments or criticism of others - are clear signs of mental weaknesses. You must remember that following the crowd can lead you nowhere. You have to be your own master if you want to ascend in life. Learn to think prudently on your own. Sharpen your decision-making powers. Follow the righteous path of your duties honestly; just ignore what others would say. If you don't have the courage to stand and walk on your own, you don't deserve to be independent.

Triumph Over Vices
The external world as we find it is mostly a reflection of our inner world. Moreover, the intrinsic desires and sentiments of the human self are so strong that they attract and accumulate thoughts of similar nature, trigger one's actions accordingly and thus create corresponding circumstances.
So if you want to clean up the ambience around you, you will have to begin purifying your own sentiments and thoughts first. If you want peace and benevolence around you, you should first conquer your own vices, untoward instincts and wrong thinking. Utter selfishness and egotism are the root causes of all conflicts and clashes, be that at familial, social or communal levels. The narrow tendency of grabbing supremacy at any cost, neglecting even the genuine rights of others and ignoring the ethics of humanity, are behind the religious or political battles and wars the consequences of which are horrifying and devastating
You may care for self-respect and happy progress of your life, but it is not necessary that you should block someone else's ascent for this or snatch it from someone. People might acquire wealth and might by such means, but it hardly gives them any joys and eventually proves to be agonizing. The only and the best way to happiness is that of equality, cooperation, mutual respect and goodwill. This way, we all can contribute to spread happiness collectively and be happier …. The evils of self-centeredness are toxic to the ambience of peace. The delight that emanates from and extends the nectar of collective, widespread happiness is the real joy.
