A LIFE OF WELL-BEING

Within a religious scholar’s (Alim) circle, there was someone very close to him. The scholar valued and trusted this person more than anyone else. He helped this person start a business, and he succeeded, becoming wealthy.

One day, this person was with the scholar. The scholar strictly forbade him from doing something. The person became upset, responded harshly, and left the scholar’s presence. A few days later, when his anger had cooled, he returned to apologize. The scholar replied, “There is no need for you to apologize. I have already resolved this matter in such a way that I used to see you by my standards, but now I will see you by your standards. “

This is the only successful principle for living a life of well-being in this world. In one word, it can be summarized as: treat people according to their standards, not yours.

If someone does not live up to your high expectations, lower your expectations of them. If they do not accept your boundaries, stop demanding those boundaries from them. If someone is not willing to be your close confidant, start thinking of them as an ordinary person. If you can’t control someone, try to find a peaceful way to manage the situation. If they are not willing to meet your expectations, let go of those expectations. If they are not suitable for the role you assigned them, simply remove them from that role and assign them to another.

Life is about adjusting to external realities. We live in this world by adapting to the sun, wind, rain, mountains, and sea. The same principle applies when dealing with people. If you treat people with the principle of adaptation, the world will become a source of happiness and well-being for you.
