THE

BOX

Inside the box is one of the tests. In this case it’s hardest one because the protagonist decides not to learn

We need to choose which path to take in order to draw out the learnings

There are only two possible paths

1. Choosing the path of the virtues of the soul = Learning

2. Choose weaknesses that lead us to being attacked or harmed by the aggressor = Revenge

The road of indecision is full of painful tests, becoming more painful every time

The test is there.

So is the pain¿Which decision

to take?

If you believe the test comes from the other you will respond with

wrath or revenge If you understand the test is for you: You only need to

overcome it and decide to forgive

This characteris in the middle of the test,he doesn’t have to fight against the WRATH, he only needs to accept and find PEACE. The detractor seduces him towards his desire for revenge

the decision:PEACEWRATH

THE PARTNERUnderstands the trap so he fills himself with understanding choosing: Humility, Peace, Generosity….

The aggressor:Passed his test earlier on and decides to attack

He doesn’t forgive his weakness: Envy

ExerciseHow to overcome desires

Choose from the STRENGTH1. WHAT IS YOUR STRENGTH?

We all have something perfect, something irrefutably good and positive that no one can question. It's there when we do, when we feel and when we think

2. DESIRE What is your desire, is it hard to get, and have you seen it in the someone else?

It is always right and good. Write it in positive. You can see it in the people closest to you.

The desire disappears when you have attained it because you become fulfilled

3.Now you have two options:

1.- Learn in order to achieve your desire and be in plenitude 2.- Let the revenge and weakness overcome and believe you can not

4.If you have difficulty exercising virtue, look around you.

The best master is near you. It is the person closest to you

Make a daily plan of learning 1% of that virtue and collaborate with yourself to reach a world of fulfillment without desires

and YOU?STRENGTH
