I had already written in the previous post that the first step to reach happiness, according to Yogi Bhajan, is COMMITMENT. And it is precisely this that gives you CHARACTER, which is the second step of the ladder.
But... What is CHARACTER? It is when you are in balance and control with your whole being: You know that space between your light and your darkness, and you are not afraid to walk with your polarities, you have integrated your experiences, you have understood each of your experiences without judging them.
Of course, this CHARACTER has nothing to do with your EGO. It is very easy to confuse staying in control from an EGOCENTRIC place, in which all inflexibility is deposited, with which you do not listen, do not accept and do not integrate the truths and rights of other beings that are around you, walking then without the encounter of the projections of your polarities that the encounter with each other offers you. The COURAGE that, for me very personally, is attuned to this CHARACTER, is really staying in touch with your soul's purpose, even when this purpose is physically and mentally unknown to you. It is like a beautiful mantra that GURUJODHA SINGH vibrates in his Album "Kirpa": There we are reminded that COURAGE is not necessarily a lion's roar in you but that inner voice that at the end of the day tells you that tomorrow you could try again. Why faint in your purpose? but at the same time how do you help others if you stay in your self-centeredness? Do you listen to that voice inside of you, and do you follow it?
CHARACTER is precisely to stand on your principles, on your belief, on your faith, and to be an example day by day of what you believe in, without giving up your power because others want to lead you to it, or being afraid of feeling that you are in a completely opposite place to what others - near or far - are in. If your steps are the reflection of your thoughts, if your actions accompany your projections, if you can stay in the center of your polarity, this will make you a trustworthy soul, if you do not yield your power to others you will feel more connected with your soul, with that destiny that is made for you. Stay true to your convictions, walk with them, no matter how much they judge you; if you have faith and believe, everything else is a matter of time: Yogi Bhajan said "Hold and you will be held". Believe in yourself, trust in yourself. If your actions sustain your projection this will take you to the third step of this stairway to happiness: DIGNITY.
BE YOU... See you soon to continue ascending to be happy, and remember that happiness is your birthright, do not get distracted....
Sat Nam!
