In our day-to-day life we encounter normal people. Not just normal people we meet mysterious, manipulative, narcissistic and so on. We should not allow our mind and ourselves to get trapped in their matrix. We should either play superior, act superior be superior to them or we should be perfect to keep us apart from their tricks.
Be an observer: - You can just observe your environment and every people and their actions and their thoughts which will give you an access to know their intention or predict their tricks and moves.
Learn when to shut up: - When you start to give too much info to other people about yourself then you might be dragging yourself into their mischief. However, when someone seems too obsessed with you and ask to avoid it or overrule it.
Mind your thought: -
Lao Tzu-
Watch your thoughts, they become your word.
Watch your words, they become your action.
Watch your actions, they become habit.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch you character, it becomes your destiny.
You should develop a habit to overrule someone's request in order to forbid yourself from bad habits observe people, their habits avoid some then according to your philosophy needs and plan.
Learn to hide your true colors/potential: - You should never reveal your plans, secrets, potentials to other. Never let them know your intention through your words or actions. Learn to play a poker face.
Learn to be fearless: - A man should never fear anything other than their judgements of their deeds. When you learn to be fearless you would unlock a very valuable asset, called confidence. Confidence is a very powerful thing. That even when you pretend it you will feel the breeze of success.
Learn to keep your words: - Never break your promise or change your words. It will make you look like a pathetic, cynical, dishonest, false and mostly make you a person to never get trust of others, which impact on your social skeels and impact on your respect.
Learn to accept your guilt: - Accepting your mistakes and your guilt will make you look like an honest person and a person who is on to their words.
Priorities on your mindset: - Your mind or your thinking capacity is the greatest asset you pose. Learn to use it, control it and implement it. Make it your first priority. Eyes are useless when mind is blind.
Learn to learn lessons: - Drain out all the regrets us there is nothing to fear you would never know it something that happened is good or bad, profit or loss. Learn from your mistakes even if it hurts you. A painless lesson is also meaningless. Let the pain take over your wrath and allow it to realize your deeds and accept it.
Learn to embrace loneliness: - One should not fear loneliness you should embrace it. Being lonely & having more to call friend is far better than being with toxic people. Spending time alone makes you independent and make your own rules.
Learn to forgive: - You should try to forgive people to the most possible ways but you should never forget those souls who were with you from your worst or forget those who hurt you. Giving them a second chance is even worse.
Learn to give respect: - You should respect the one who's in the same level as you, next to you, who's women and those who respects you. I believe respect is two ways. Those who respect someone but that someone doesn't respect another individual, the people are following slavery. Even if it's a beggar and She/he respect you. You must not back off.
Never hesitate to cut someone off: - You should never hesitate to ghost/leave someone who deserves it. Copper doesn't worth much in the chest of diamonds. Having a small but trustful circle is better than having a big but doubtful circle.
Lao Tzu a great Chinese Taoist philosopher developed the concept of 'We Wei'.
We Wei: -
Wu Wei is the concept of philosophy, "Instead of forcing things to happen, allow them to unfold naturally".
It suggests: -
Sometimes best action is no action.
