Enjoy your life

Everything has an intrinsic (= essential and natural) value as well as everyone has individual abilities and values. Most of us rarely undertake self-observation, therefore, we do not notice the importance of our role, our own abilities and the value of these. Sometimes, we are depressed and unsatisfied with our life as we are not aware of the significance of our role.

We sometimes focus on and are impressed by other people’s roles. We need to impress other people as well as we also must know who we are and our value. Awareness of our significance and loving our own intrinsic nature can improve us and gift us with self-confidence, satisfaction and happiness in a long life.

This short-animated film gives a message about knowing our individual role and enjoying our life.
