Description

Mastering the art of self-control is essential to finding peace and happiness in life. In this episode, we explore the often-misunderstood virtue of "meekness", drawing inspiration from Mother Teresa, who often demonstrated composure under stressful circumstances. It takes great strength to face challenges with patience and respond thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively.Our conversation also touches on the role suffering plays in shaping our free will. Would you prefer a world without suffering, or is it preferable to live in a world where we have free will, even if it means suffering may result from our choices? Meekness and the choice of "doing good" over "doing harm" are intertwined. Applying this concept in your daily life can help you redefine success, regain integrity, and reset your inner compass to become a more mature version of yourself. Our exploration of meekness ultimately leads us to the heart of the third beatitude, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." This profound statement serves as a compass guiding us towards embodying the virtue of meekness, urging us to exercise patience, show understanding, and extend love even in the most challenging circumstances. So, let's together embark on this journey, embodying the spirit of the third beatitude, to truly claim our rightful inheritance - the earth.Support the showRate, Review & Follow“I love Nina and Holy Rebels Podcast.” If that sounds like you, please rate and review my show!
