Contemplation leads to clarity

[Rishabh R]

I was confused and messed up regarding applying which self-help concept to improve my life. I went from YouTube videos to videos. Read two books a little- What the Buddha taught by Walpola Rahula to Discourses and selected writings by Epictetus. I was running around in circles then, I finally sat down in the evening to figure this out.

The question I asked to myself was - What's 1 self-help concept that will radically improve my life ?

Insight :-

.Stop caring about negative situations and focus on improving them 

Even nearly 17 minutes of contemplation yielded profound clarity I estimate how about 30 minutes, 1 hour (as I have done in the past) - it will yield deeper clarity and more penetration to truth.

Later I contemplated it's applications:-

- Whenever I encounter a negative situation I can think that there is a way to improve it 

-Whenever I am treated rudely I can focus on moving on

-Whenever I commit a mistake I can focus on how to make it right 

-Whenever I fail,get rejected I can make an objective to try again until I succeed 

-Whenever I suffer I can make a point to feel it
