Eknath Easwaran’s Words To Live By: Part 9
Episode description
Join Rob as he talks through the ninth instalment of his mini-series whereby he shares the teaching of the inspirational Eknath Easwaran. Today he discusses why you have to learn to love those people you find challenging, the importance of being aware of your self-will and why you should always believe in yourself and trust the journey you are on.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You have to learn to love and deal with those that you find challenging. Without a doubt one of the most difficult things in life is dealing with people with who we do not resonate. They challenge our self-will and one of the life lessons is that those circumstances are there to teach us how to adapt.
- You have to believe in yourself and what it is you are, how you do it and believe in your path, otherwise you are doing yourself an enormous injustice. Do what it is that you believe in and if you do not believe in what you're doing you will not be getting the results that you deserve.
- If you want to be happy, successful and be in the right space, you have to be focused on what you are doing. Know what is in your control but be detached from the outcome. You cannot always control the outcome you can only control what it is you do.
- Beware of your self-will. Self-will is what drives every one of us, it is related to the hierarchy of needs, to deny that that exists is to deny your truth. Self-will should be honed, directed and affected.
- Somebody who has not controlled their self-will is out of control and a great number of institutions are likely filled with people with self-will that has not been controlled. Controlling self-will is an enormous thing and when we control our own, we must consider the self-will of others. Relationships with others are important, and so is awareness of others.
