Conquering Myself

“It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.” — Buddha

This morning I felt like I really conquered myself. I didn’t know what “conquering myself” really meant but it sure did feel like I did. Of course I had to Google it and the first thing that topped the search was the quote above from Buddha.

I conquered the loud screaming of hate within me. I conquered that raging anger and the never-ending worry inside me. Yes, I have conquered myself today. Times like these, I feel that success is not just one big event in life. It’s the little things in life where you succeed that you feel most satisfied and content. Success in life simply does not mean success in business or success in family life alone. Success is a collective output of all your daily and even momentary successes.

A successful you is the best you every minute of every second of every day. The little triumphs in life when put together creates a very glorious person.

Today, I am proud that I triumphed. Tomorrow is another day and it is too early to even think or worry about. :)
