The twentieth century for our country was marked not only by a number of wars, great discoveries and accomplishments, but also by a departure from spiritual values that were instilled over the centuries. The cultural heritage in the form of temples, religion, customs was deliberately wiped from the consciousness of the people and partially from the face of the Earth. Several generations grew up in an atmosphere of atheism and denial of everything connected with faith. However, the dashing nineties brought not only the dawn of private business and the redistribution of property, but also a massive upheaval in the minds of the public. Those who did not break, catching their breath from sudden changes and learning to live in new conditions, reached for the church. One way or another, but deep down, everyone, even the most ardent atheist, feels that there is something higher than us - that guides and protects in difficult times, consoles in sorrow and gives peace to the soul. Someone calls this intuition, someone calls a guardian angel. From this, the essence of things does not change. So where is the truth hidden? How to find your bright path and learn to hear the inner voice?

"Do not believe, do not be afraid, do not ask" I must say that the title of the title is somewhat ambiguous. We explain each installation separately. "Do not believe" - this does not apply to faith itself, it refers to an attentive attitude towards people. Trust is good, but you don't have to trust everyone you meet. Listen carefully, try to understand. Empathy and empathy do amazing things (but empathy, not pity). We are all living people, therefore, we have vices and inner attitudes. Most often, it is the most amiable and courteous who turn out to be traitors, and vice versa - cold and restrained at first glance, when they are more intimate, they amaze with their hidden spiritual qualities: devotion, kindness, generosity. The first impression is often misleading. Friend is known in trouble! “Do not be afraid” - do not be afraid to live, to afford what you dream about, even if at first glance it seems impossible or unattainable. What are you really afraid of: condemnation, contempt, maliciousness on the part of such people? Not worth it. By and large - all the same to each other. And each of the ill-wishers, deep down, is afraid that you will succeed. The main task of everyone is to live life in such a way that later on do not regret the wasted years. Everyone has their own path, and no one except you knows how to be better. Fears often hide behind a mask of anger and sarcasm. Strong people are not evil. The path to happiness is not the easiest, however, stomping on the spot, cautiously looking around, you will not only achieve nothing, but also risk earning depression, apathy for everything that happens, not to mention self-esteem, which will rapidly begin to decline with the speed of a fighter shot down. "Do not ask". The requesting person puts himself in a subordinate position. The poor love to regret, but do not respect. Do not raise someone's self-esteem at their own expense. If a person wants to help, he will help, and there is no need to explain anything. If you want something to appear in life, start giving. Give people warmth, love, good mood, attention. Not immediately, but over time you will feel that the return has gone. As one good children's song says: "Share your smile, and she will come back to you more than once."

“Be mindful of your feelings.” Feelings are an excellent indicator of our condition and mood. They show what we really want. It is generally accepted that man is his own master. This is true, but only half true. Most beliefs are imposed by society, parents, the mentality of the country or place of residence. Everyone screams about freedom, but one way or another no one has it. Try to understand one simple truth: "what you feel is what you think, and not vice versa!" You can fool acquaintances, parents, even family, but how do you explain to your heart that the level of happiness tends to zero? You won’t run away from yourself. Only that which gives pleasure, gives joy and gives strength makes sense. Discarding fears, you can achieve unprecedented heights in any area of life. Therefore, forward to a brighter future. Just choose to achieve your goals - honest ways.

“Do not shift responsibility for your life to others” Sometimes it’s nice to return to childhood: cry, shout, blame anyone, but not yourself, for all misfortunes. However, this behavior is not only destructive, but also absolutely not effective. It turns out that at this moment you confirm personal insolvency, relieve yourself of any responsibility and, as a result, lose control of reality. All that was done not at gunpoint is a personal choice, and only you are fully responsible for all the consequences. True, at the gunpoint there is also a choice - either to obey or.. But let's not talk about sad things. As soon as you start thinking about what you are doing and saying, awareness will come, more confidence and options for further actions will appear. Any created situation requires a thorough analysis. Do not get excited, do not chop off the shoulder. Before doing something, several times weigh the pros and cons. Think about whether you will regret or rejoice that you did this and not otherwise. The proverb says: "Measure seven times, cut once." Actually in life in many ways it is. Any risk should be justified. Do not commit rash acts and do not expect anything from other people. No one owes nothing to nobody. All people are selfish, therefore they act in the best way for themselves. Is it possible to be angry with someone for the chosen path? This is a personal matter for everyone. Your task is to listen to yourself and act in good faith. Whatever the outcome, consider what happened as an experience, not a defeat. While a person is alive, you can change and replay anything you want, even if at first glance it seems impossible.
