“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.”
– The Buddha

My Thoughts: 

What’s the point of battles if you can’t conquer yourself? Well, I think The Buddha might be trying to say that if you are a king don’t start battles out of anger when you may have something bothering you. A lot of times people do things out of anger to hurt someone or to do something because they are mad of something else. In other words, don’t start battles or hurt others as a cover up. Instead deal with it and conquer yourself before you can conquer anything else in life. Yes, it is a hard way to go through life, but it is just made to be that way.

Victorious

Victory can always be yours once you can conquer it. Victory can be given to us from above, but at the right timing. When we are worthy of victory it will be delivered to us. Therefore, if you have something bothering you, face it and don’t run away from it. Many problems people have, but they hide from it. Instead, you should face it and confront it with good intentions.

As I like to say: “what’s the point of life if you haven’t conquered anything?”

Eat Healthy

If you think your life is perfect than challenge yourself. Try to eat healthy and have this thought: to eat everything that is natural. Gummy bears may be calling for you, but you have to try to avoid it. Try it! If you can conquer eating 100% healthy than you can have a better life. Most people are eating bad foods or being tricked into something healthy that is not. Many foods have artificial ingredients, but they act as if its healthy.
