Hii, Finished 3rd chapter of this book called IKIGAI. I really loved it. Sharing the summary of this chapter as a part of my blog . And yes HAPPY DUSSEHRA ! Have a productive day ahead.
CHAPTER III
From Logotherapy to Ikigai via Morita
The very first thing is to understand what LOGOTHERAPY is ? It is something that helps you find your reason, meaning to live. It enables an individual to fill the existential voids in their life. He who has WHY to live for can bear with almost any HOW .
There are few steps of lower therapy that can be understood easily by these following points :-
• We do not create the meaning of life , instead we discover it. Throughout our life we do so many things but there are only a few among those thousand of things that give us immense happiness and satisfaction and a feeling of peace , so we need to figure out those things .
• We each have a unique reason for being, which is adjusted or transformed by time.
• We all have the capacity to do Noble or Terrible things , now it is your mentality what you choose . It is only you who is going to decide about your good or bad because no one is going to teach you throughout your life or spoon feed you, you can either do good or bad , it's all up to you.
• Another thing that you need to do is- Don’t rant over one thing continuously , Learn to overcome your obstacles and try new ways to tackle with them. Crying over one thing continuously is not going to make any differences you have to take step by yourself.
The author of this book talks about another kind of therapy which is MORITA THERAPY .
It tells us a few things about human behaviour and his emotions.
• Accept your emotions without trying to control them . If you are sad accept, if you are happy show it, but you don't have to bury your emotions.
• Do what you should be doing for yourselves not for others . Because you did not sign any kind of contract to make others happy.
• Discover who you are , not who you pretend to be.
• SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GOOD PEOPLE . Learn how to stay away from those people who always try to demotivate you or says that you are not enough.
•The mission of finding your Ikigai, your existential fuel . Once you find it , it is only matter of having the courage & making efforts to stay on the right path.
• Accept the people exactly the way they are, if they are not good to you dude its their bad , You don’t want yourself to get involved into this, you have got your life to sort . Listen, Stay Calm ,Move on . This is rule I have I have started implementing in my life. Like me you might have anger issues but ignoring such people is the only solution , you cannot like punch them right in their face.
• Do MEDITATION , it could be beneficial . Meditation has a power to control your anger issues or other feelings that are harmful to you and to others as well .
• Asking yourself “is this person XYZ is important to me? Do I have anything to do with this person?“ If your answer is YES , then half of the problem is automatically solved.
