The civilizations that preceded us treasured great wisdom, and many of their discoveries and teachings are with us today, in different ways. An example of this is the Mayan culture, which developed a very particular way of seeing and understanding the world. Thus, he established his own numerology and his own calendar.
The proverbs of the Mayans are also a legacy of their great wisdom, revealing a little about what the world meant to them so many years ago. Here we share some of his ancestral advice so that your spirit connects with the deepest senses of this culture.
“Mirror yourself so you can see how you are”
Relationships with others show us how we are as much as if we were looking in a mirror. What we like, what catches us, and even what annoys and irritates us about the other, is part of ourselves. Therefore, change always begins with one.
“You can’t put corn in a basket with holes”
It is impossible to fill a broken basket with something very small. Similarly, why do we often get stuck on what is not worth it? We must learn that when things do not flow, it is better not to force them.
“Look at what you do first, so you don’t regret it later”
This proverb reminds us how important it is to be aware of what we say or do; be consistent with our actions, feelings, thoughts and words. Regret comes after not having been present and connected with that internal harmony.
“With cocoa you pay for cocoa, with money for money and with corn for corn”
Each thing has its value and it makes no sense to compare it with another with which it has little to do. Don’t get confused: give each thing its place and the importance it has.
“Don’t start beating around the bush, tell the truth”
This Mayan proverb reminds us of the importance of being genuine and sincere, of speaking from love and with one’s own truth.
“Be constant and have courage in your work”
If you want to meet your goals, take action. The Universe conspires in your favor when you make intentions, but that desire must be activated for it to materialize, it needs you and your energy in motion.
