Admit your insignificance and your life will change for the better

Each of us sees the world through the prism of their own feelings, emotions and memories. Each of us feels special. Such a subjective perception of reality creates the illusion of our importance to the world. Why illusion? Because we forget that there are still around billions of people. So it was up to us. So it will be after. Our life - a grain of sand.

Do not take these words as something cynical and depressed. On the contrary, understanding the differences between our subjective perception and objective reality is the key to a full and happy life.

Such recognition unimportance and the insignificance compels us to take another look at our problems, to subdue selfishnessRethink our actions, and our lives.

Try to recognize your insignificance. This will give you many advantages.

1. We can understand and appreciate the sublime

Back in 1757 the politician Edmund Burke in his "philosophical study of the origin of our ideas the sublime and the beautiful "split our sensory perception of the world of the beautiful (The Beautiful) and the sublime (The Sublime).

Wonderful we find every day, looking at the things that give us aesthetic pleasure. The sublime is not just pleasing to the eye. This is something else. It stuns and amazes us. We feel it when we feel the power of nature, the power of art, when we are overwhelmed with love.

To experience the sublime, we must defeat his ego and sense of superiority.

These traits make us just look for fun, not allowing to experience the real joy of life.

Recognizing their smallness, you get rid of this problem.

2. We free ourselves from the pressure of groundless and unjustified expectations

We live in an organized world where everything has a definition. Not nature gave the tree its name and people. He did it for convenience to somehow structure everything around. Our perception of reality is limited by language boundaries.

French writer and Nobel Prize winner Albert Camus said that we are trying to appeal to reason unreasonable world and this often leads to internal contradictions.

All these structures, definitions and labels are fragile and insignificant. only rely not his position, Power and money. They create the illusion of importance and significance. Of course, you can be proud of what you do, but adequate perception of his personality will not let you imagines himself the center of the universe.

Recognizing their smallness, you free yourself from the many shackles imposed by society.

3. We realize that our efforts are more important than our desires

Remember that the universe is anything you are not obliged to, no matter how special you yourself may feel.

Great dream of a brilliant career, but the mere belief that you deserve it, you can not guarantee it. For achievement goals will have to learn, to work, not sleep at night and constantly improve.

It requires humility and obedience. Thus, you acknowledge that your desires are not unique, because everyone dreams of a good job, a great love and infinite happiness. The difference is what you're willing to sacrifice for their goals, what concessions are ready to go, if you can recognize that your efforts can go to ashes.

You should see the problems in the face and dare to tell yourself:

"I know that I can not always get the desired, but that does not mean I will not try!"

This, in fact, is the meaning of life. See and experience reality as it is. And then try to do it the way you want it to be.

Recognizing their smallness, you take responsibility for your life.
