BETTING

BETTING
Every day I bet for my students. I bet for every one of them, many are rejected by other groups for their way of thinking, their way of "life", but I want to bet for them, I try to offer them a wide range of opportunities for their development. With patience, I reiterate the basic instructions for making them going forward by themselves. For many of them no one wanted to bet, simply rejected them and today they have become incredible human beings, the "masters" of life through martial arts. If you are an instructor, have ever you thought that "in reality" you are someone who must bet without any fear for others and offer them opportunities according to your own possibilities?
In a danger situation, several biochemical factors which act to make you run away to avoid it, or you stay paralyzed unable to move or to deal with it. There is another situation that produces the same, envy. But what is envy? Just wanting something that others have. I have reviewed some proverbs about envy that I share with you:
Jealousy in men shows how miserable they feel, and your constant attention to what they do or do not do the others, shows how much they get bored.
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) German philosopher.

Punishes those who are jealous by doing them good.
Arabian Proverb

Envy is a statement of inferiority.
Napoleon I (1769-1821) Napoleon Bonaparte. French Emperor.

What is jealous? An ingrate person who hates the light that illuminates and warms.
Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French novelist.

Envy is caused by seeing others enjoying what we want, jealousy is seeing others having what we want to possess.
Diogenes Laertius (third century BC-?) Greek history.

Our envy always lasts more than the happiness of those we envy.
François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French writer.

Envy is a thousand times more terrible than hunger, because it is spiritual hunger.
Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936) Spanish philosopher and writer.

If you look at jealousy is a disease that occurs since the human being exists, which makes the person who feels it continually unhappy, miserable and bitter. It is also decentralized their own reality and his own self to be all his life focused on what others get and that he would like to have. Ideally, if you want something and is an available goal, it is not necessary "to knock down" those who already have it, because they have achieved through their own efforts, rather you could ask for more ideas about how to do it and leveraging their own experience.

In short, what is a jealous person? It is a person who wants the "good things" without effort and sacrifice that others have, normally achieved with effort and sacrifice. And I wonder if they want the "good things" of others, they also want the "not so good ones".

My JUST IN THIS VERY RIGHT MOMENT Decalogue is:
1. Do not waste YOUR time wanting what others have. If you want something start dreaming,which is a kind of reality and then start working for it, joining forces with the universe and avoiding that the goal justify the means.
2. Do not waste your wonderful time with superficial or deep controversy. The term "controversy", which has its origin in the Greek language, is linked to the tricks used to defend or offend a posture. Most of the time they are meaningless and worst of all, do not let you proceed.
3. Avoid becoming a fan of yourself, of your own ideas, of your own concepts, of your own techniques.
4. Help all you can as your posibilities let you and do not expect anything in return. If you expect something in return, you´ll be frustrated.
5. Build rather than destroy. But if you try to destroy, leave a space to re-build.
6. Do your best. Whether you're on the mat, in the car, sitting, lying down, you can always do something to benefit others.
7. Stop and slow down when you need it, but as part of the integrated motion, not as an isolated event. Do not keep long in the same position. Staying too long in one position has many risks attached.
8. Do what you can for yourself and if you can´t, ask for help, but don´t any expectations about it.
9. Live every moment to the maximum, join with people with attractive and positive initiatives. There are many things to do, there are many needy people organizations and sick people that need volunteers.
10. Love every being deeply.

A big hug, by my side I will go on betting.
