A wider self than I think

When it's hard times, when it's hard, my “self” is getting stronger. My thoughts have become self-centered.

I think I should expand my scope. Expand your own horizons.

For example, even if someone says something tough, I think that person is also me. If you take that person's point of view, “I'm sure this person also had various thoughts and said this to me,” my point of view changes, and the center is off, so my thoughts are completely off.
Even if your rival is promoted in place of yourself, if you think of your rival as yourself, your self-centered thoughts will fade, and your feelings of frustration will fade.

“Me!” as one part of these 7 billion people If you have a strong sense of this, you will always compare yourself to others, and then fall into a way of looking at things centered on yourself. Certainly, no one other than me can live, so they live around me, but that is who I am as one-tenth. Me as an absolute. There's no comparison between me.

More specifically, I'm not using the proper name ○○○○; I'm just a child of the Earth, and I myself am the Earth. ... If I can expand myself up to this point, even if my individual self is in pain, I think my broader self will be able to forgive it.

Please calm down and look back at yourself during difficult times.

When it's really hard and tough, scolding and encouraging yourself is counterproductive.

If you push too hard, it will get extra tough.

Also, at times like that, bad events from the past tend to come to mind no matter what.
But this is just a bad bug within me whispering.

If you're about to be controlled by negative thoughts, think that it's not that you're bad, but that bad bugs are driving you in a difficult direction.

Furthermore, I think it's a good idea to think about what you want to do in the future.

For example, if you think “I want to earn money and live an easy life,” your motivation for work will increase, and you will be able to see the meaning of what you are doing now.

In other words, it's an encouragement for yourself.

When you feel difficult, there is a big difference in your future actions depending on how you perceive it.
Please look back at who you are now and think back to your goals.

Notice “greed, anger, laziness, pride”

Worries The cause of suffering is one's own worries.
Worries include greed, anger, laziness, pride, etc.
When you're about to lose, it's when greed, anger, laziness, and pride run wild.
First, it's important to be aware of it.
You can sort out your options for solutions simply by realizing that the cause of your worries and suffering is your own worries.
The method I recommend is in the heart
“Greed, Anger, Laziness, Pride”
It's about scanning your worries by chanting.
