May 3rd: 'The way of life where you are mocked is the one that leads to the most happiness'

The message for this day is the idea that
'Those who don't worry too much about how they are seen by others, but instead keep moving, get closer to happiness.'

Overview

People who mock others might gain a temporary sense of superiority. However, that attitude loses trust and, as a result, narrows their own place in the world.

On the other hand, people who are clumsy but keep challenging themselves, even to the point of being laughed at, are
supported and helped by those around them.

Rather than a 'life of protecting your reputation by doing nothing,' a
'life of moving forward even if you are laughed at' leads to more opportunities and growth. That is the message embedded here.

Key Points

■ People who mock others lose out the most

What you gain by looking down on someone is only a fleeting sense of superiority.

What you lose in return is trust and human connection. Luck naturally drifts away from such an attitude.

■ Only those who challenge themselves get 'laughed at'

Being laughed at is also proof that you are taking action.

Rather than doing nothing for fear of failure,
'slightly clumsy people' who keep challenging themselves are, in the end,
more likely to seize luck.

■ Charm attracts people

More than perfect people, people who are a bit scatterbrained and honest are sometimes
supported by those around them who think, 'I can't help but help them.'

That charm becomes a power that attracts help and opportunities.

■ Becoming free from 'what others think'

When you think, 'What if I get laughed at?', you become unable to move.

By accepting that 'there will always be people who say something',your
feelings will become much lighter,
and you will be able tofocus on what you want to do.become.

■ Don't make fun of yourself or others

What is truly importantis
not to laugh at others' failures, and not to blame yourself too much for your own.

That attitude willgently align your relationships and the flow of luck.

Today's small practice

・Dare to do just one thing you are 'hesitating about' (posting, applying, consulting, etc.)

・When you see someone else's failure, try to receive it as a 'lesson'

・Try showing a little bit of your weakness only to people you trust

Rather than staying still for fear of being laughed at,
it isbetter to move forward even while being laughed at a little,aslife becomes richer.

You don't have to be perfect.
In fact, being a little 'clumsy' might be just right.
