“It is better to conquer yourself, than to win a thousand battles.” ˜ Buddha
Sometimes we think our battle is external. But the truth is that the battle is within. Once we know that to be true, then we can concentrate on what the conflicts are. The battle is between two parts: our desire to meet goals and our desire to rest. The conflict is when the two parts are competing simultaneously. The two parts have to work sequentially. We need to take breaks after a long nonstop workday. We’re made to work but for us to continue to we must rest to rejuvenate. We can conquer ourselves easily when the parts are in balance.
