# Secret 5: Be yourself in a world of copy and paste.

Sometimes, life is like being inside a shell, walking in the dark through a labyrinth.

Blow by blow, the shell cracks until it finally falls to the ground. Then, you can see and find your way out.

The problem is that it’s a painful process that can take years.

Here are six spiritual secrets that I learned during those years for you to implement as quickly as possible.

Let’s get started.

Secret 1: What confronts you teaches you | Benefit: accepting yourself. When someone irritates you recurrently, it is most likely because you see something in that person that you have repressed in yourself. And unlike you, that person exposes it openly. If something confronts you enough to make you defensive, there is something to learn. The best thing you can do is 1) relax and 2) take a fresh look at what you reject because behind that emotion of resistance may be a challenging but necessary lesson for you, something you need to integrate into your life.

Secret 2: Increase the time between stimulus and response. Benefit: reduce the % of bad decisions. When some good or bad news or situation clouds your judgment because of its intensity, and you feel like when you go to see an independent movie and don’t understand the plot, go for an hour walk. Distance yourself from the source of your confusion. When you return, you will have lowered your reactivity, and you can make better decisions. Confusion increases frustration and causes you to rush. An hour’s walk can save you years of regret for having said or done something in a heated moment you shouldn’t have.

Secret 3: Avoid half solutions | Benefit: higher quality of life. Nothing is worse than a half solution because it condemns you to the ordeal of a mediocre life; an uncomfortable existence that is like walking with a stone in your shoe because you are too lazy to take it out. Remember: all the provisional remedies produce permanent evils with time. So, getting used to not leaving loose ends (small stones in your shoes) will take a little more time, but it will pay off.

Secret 4: Your pain is gasoline—use it! The Benefit: success. Pain is wasted energy if you don’t transmute it. But if you do, it gives a purpose to your suffering. It hurts, but it serves because it fills your tank with enough energy to make the change you know you have to make to stop hurting and improve your life.

Secret 5: Be yourself in a world of copy and paste | benefit: Personal self-realization. When you stop belittling what life has given you and focus on taking advantage of what is at your fingertips and on being yourself, you become self-actualized. You go from worm to butterfly. Because you finally understand that everything you needed to build your chrysalis and grow wings was at hand. My unsolicited advice today is to stop reducing to nothing those who can be everything to you. And spend an hour taking inventory of the resources and people close to you. You’re sure to find multiple solutions to specific problems in your life.

Secret 6: Most problems are mirages| Benefit: freedom. 80% of your certainties are beliefs imposed by the culture in which you live. Therefore, 80% of the problems you think you have are not problems but mismanaged states of mind that are produced by feeling frustrated because you do not fit in with the socio-cultural expectations of your environment. If you can realize this, and every day, you dedicate a few minutes to ask yourself why XYZ things distress you. All those mirages wrongly labeled as problems will dissipate, and you will be left with the real ones (the ones that distress you, and not by social imposition), and you will be able to use all your attention and resources to solve them much faster.

As you can see, they are changes of focus. They will only require you to rethink your way of seeing things and take enough time to obtain the fruits proposed by the six secrets. One hour is enough.
