4. Come what may, u must never tolerate evil
Lord Shiva was known as the destroyer of evil. He couldn't tolerate injustice & destroyed rakshasas in a fair manner. Similarly, we should try to keep zero tolerance for the evil happening around us & take a stand against injustice.

7. U must control ur ego and let go off pride
Ur ego is the only thing that prevents u from attaining greatness. It is ur ego that comes between ur goals and ur dreams, and makes u a less loving person.

It is said that Shiva carried his trishul to keep his ego in check. He never let his ego get the better of himself. On the other hand, nor did he tolerate anyone else’s ego.
8. Do thorough research on something you're likely to get into
The Ganga in Shiva’s hair symbolises the end of ignorance. This implies that u should know what u’re getting into. Being in denial about facts is not going to help.

9. Respect your better half
Shiva was ‘Ardhanarishwar’, where half of him was Parvati. He treated Parvati with utmost respect and care. She was his ‘shakti’ and he gave her the importance she deserved.
So remember to RESPECT YOUR BETTER HALF.

10. Understand that everything is temporary
Maha yogis don’t fall for ‘moh maya’. They know that life is ephemeral and WHAT HAPPENS TODAY IS NOT GOING TO EXIST FOREVER.
Time changes and so do we.

11. Dance
Shiva is known as Nataraja or the King of Dance. Shiva’s dance is said to take place at the center of the universe, which represents the heart. What is the use of that? We must control what we can, which is ourselves, and accept what we cannot, which is everything else
