Marquis Zhuge Wuhou once said: "Quiet to cultivate the body, thrifty to cultivate morality." Non-indifference is not clear-sighted, non-tranquility is not far-reaching. ”
Throughout the ages, sages and sages have emphasized the word "jing" (静).
A quiet, spring flowers, autumn moon, mountains and rivers and moons; a movement, the north wind swept the ground thunder and thunder. Moving and static, combining yin and yang, attacking and retreating, is the way for people to live in the world.
It's just that people always emphasize "moving" and forget the importance of "stillness". If we only blindly agitate and do not know how to calm down the heart, it is easy to make the yin and yang unbalanced and make the heart become anxious.
The reason why there are endless disasters in this world is that the root cause is the "imbalance between yin and yang." The human world is like a balance, only the weight of the two sides, everything can develop steadily.
In the same way, if we want to succeed, or have a happy and satisfying life, then we must learn to "combine movement and static". When it is time to move, it is time to be quiet, so that it can stand in an invincible position.
However, modern people have finally gone to extremes. Especially middle-aged people, who always live in anxiety, do not know how to "meditate on self-cultivation." So how can they be mixed for a long time?
Moving, can make you have the power of thunder. Quiet, can make you have the state of sea light. When people reach middle age, people with a quiet mind and those who do not have a quiet heart often have a particularly large gap in their lives.

When people reach middle age, all disasters are based on "mania".
Some writers have written that this is an era of extreme restlessness, but also an era of hoping to ascend to the heavens one step at a time, which is particularly magical and strange.
When it comes to "making money", the first thing we think of is to get rich overnight and become an Internet celebrity within a few days.
When we talk about "success", the first thing we think of is to reach the top and become the protagonist of this world.
When it comes to "happiness", the first thing we think of is that we are rich and wealthy, and have countless fame and fortune.
Are these three pursuits really normal? Particularly abnormal. In particular, the two points of overnight wealth and great wealth can be seen in the impatience and greed of modern people.
Just think, who can ascend to the sky in one step? 99% of people can't climb to the sky in one step. Unless you are the child of a rich man, "ascending to heaven" can only become a luxury.
There have been education experts to investigate the school, today's primary and secondary school students, the dream is very "distorted", some want to become Internet celebrities, some want to become big singers, some want to become rich. This kind of dream will harm countless ordinary people and future generations.
Why do modern people always feel that they are "tired" of living? Because there are too many things to pursue, there are more things to get. Between gain and loss, we forget our own pursuits and go to extremes.
Restlessness is an extreme. Greed, on the other hand, is a blind extreme. If everyone can ascend to heaven in one step, then hard work and persistence, isn't there no meaning?

When people reach middle age, Wanfu is mainly "quiet".
Today's middle-aged people will face these two problems. First of all, I often can't sleep, I have insomnia and dreams every day, and I don't even have a good appetite for eating. Secondly, it is uneasy in the heart and loses hope in life.
The old Chen in the unit couldn't sleep every night, even if he kept counting sheep, he couldn't let him sleep peacefully. Why? Because he has too many troubles and too many expectations for the future.
Lao Chen wants to evaluate senior titles, wants to buy new cars, and wants to make a lot of money. These expectations have been haunting his mind, then he will have less inner stability and more anxiety about "asking for it".
Later, Lao Chen, who suffered from mild depression, went to see a psychologist, and the doctor told him to learn to "calm" his mind, which is the root of changing his mental state.
Nowadays, Lao Chen has developed the habit of "meditation". Every day in a fixed time in the "meditation", the unnecessary thoughts "empty", leaving some pure spiritual space for a better future. Slowly, his people also became cheerful, and his mentality improved a lot.
What does this mean? If the heart is quiet, all blessings will come. If the hearts of the people are restless, all kinds of disasters will come. A restless heart will only invite a lot of disasters. And the state of calm can teach people to control life and see through life.
Your blessings are hidden in your "stillness."

The so-called "quiet is the world's righteousness." ”
Tranquility is precisely the quality that people lack, and it is also the realm that modern people lack. Whether you can "be clear and righteous" is precisely the key to "breaking through the fog and seeing the blue sky".
When we talk about "Qingjing", we have to talk about Su Shi.
Su Shi, a person, even if he was excluded by his colleagues and degraded by the emperor, he could calm down and try to eliminate the influence of restlessness. In his opinion, looking back has always been in a depressed place, returning, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine.
Even if they are relegated to the swamp-covered Lingnan, they are all happy to do so, sighing "three hundred lychees a day, and they will not quit being Lingnanians.".
Life, no big deal. Whether you can make a lot of money or not, that is the time to decide. Whether or not you can become a high official is a matter of opportunity. If so, why can't it be calm?
Su Shi once said: "The world has been dusted, and the floating flowers in the air are in the dream." ”
The world is like a dream, life is like a dream, everything is the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror. Red dust is like yesterday, sake is like poetry, everything is happy and pure.
No matter how old people live, they may wish to be a person with a calm heart and a calm heart. Don't always be melancholy, but laugh, even in the waves, you must "the boat will pass away, the river and the sea will live for the rest of your life."
