Five minutes can change a life
Why not take five minutes a day to study [...] the deep riches of the human being? Positive aspects capable of transforming a life would emerge.
Five minutes of reflection per day helps to understand where the influences that affect us come from.
Through reflection, we can discover innate qualities, capacities to love, our capabilities of listening to others, of respecting them, of winning their friendship. We feel the need to open ourselves to others, to welcome them while protecting our personal freedom and respecting theirs. As we acquire the habit of reflection from the heart, we will feel more responsible, more confident in ourselves and in others, more solid, less solitary.
More and more, we have to think to escape the negative influence of others and the media. Five minutes a day will help to dominate these influences and will eventually lead us to find the path of balance and the assurance of our strength.
Five minutes a day is not a waste of time if we can gather enough energy in the palm of our hand to sow good around us for 24 hours.
Five minutes to rediscover our identity, our true image, to adjust our positive abilities and to silence the areas of disturbance is wonderful.
