When to let go?

Throughout our lives, many times we will

be asked to let go. But in a society that

encourages us to persevere in everything, how

do we know when to let go? Here are a few

signs that might indicate the time has come to

take a step back:

When you feel overwhelmed by the same

thoughts, obsessed with

an idea, a person or a

situation, or repeating the

same story over and over

again, it's time to step

back.

When you are

constantly struggling with

is expressed through the opening of our

minds. When the mind opens, we realize that

we carry everything we need within ourselves.

Today, don't rush anything. Do not force the

hand of fate. Happiness, remember, is not a

particular state, but a decision to be, from

moment to moment, in the

full consent of what is.

Philosophy

Philosophy is a method

with the reasoning "of

thinking" seeking to

understand man and the nature of things.

According to Aristotle the idea must be

accompanied by a concept. Descartes does not

propose a concept, but a syllogism with the (I

think therefore I am); he makes a

metaphysical assertion and will end up getting

lost in solipsism; he does not say who is the I

am (does not say who is the man) The I think

therefore I am, (from Descartes; is it the I am
