One way you can exercise strength, self-respect, and contentment in life is by preventing yourself from being drawn into the trivial things that are happening around you. It takes the power of discernment, a self-mastery tool, to determine what are the things which are going on around you are important enough for your interaction. Sometime silence and observation are all that is needed. This is an aspect of mastering the self, which allows for you to maintain a peaceful attitude throughout your day. Life is, and always will, churn-up plenty of useless minutia to distract you. Like shiny objects vying for your attention. You can choose to be mindful, and rest from interacting as you declutter your minds, and simply observe while you are being entertained by life’s goings-on. Everything that is happening around you doesn’t need your opinion or action. You needn’t simply be drawn into things which just drain you of your energy. Raise your vibrations and become a master of your life, a self-sovereign.Creating boundaries for your interactions in life will enable you to retain your peace. Try it. Be mindful, you will be glad you did.
