Home of the soul

Text/Xu Wenyan

I have been depressed and indignant because I have been misunderstood or met with injustice; I have been trapped in an island of my soul because of my life; I have also traveled against the current, wind and rain, and harvested full, but I have always made myself tired and tired and pretend to be strong.

Shouting in my heart countless times a day, I am tired, very tired... I always feel that there is no light in this world, and there is no end to darkness... Pain and trouble often torment themselves, every day struggle, helpless, confused, helpless, like a dandelion seed does not know where to fall...

After crawling and rolling in the rolling red dust, after going through the vicissitudes, I gradually understood that "this peace of mind is my hometown". If the heart is nowhere to be found, it is wandering everywhere.

I slowly learned to talk to my own heart, listen to my own inner voice, why can't I pretend to be more happy in my heart, but I have to be full of sorrow and deprive myself of happiness and happiness for no reason? I tried to break free from the confused emotions, and gradually found the sunny and happy self, and my world suddenly opened up! Since then, I have been relieved, bravely shook hands with myself, reconciled with the world, and understood how to go forward in the future.

I discerned the road ahead, full of enthusiasm for life, "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the South Mountain." Plough the field in your heart, open the window of your heart, let love nourish, plant happiness, and harvest the sunshine. There is love, there is joy, there is warmth – this is the home of my soul.

I carefully managed the hundred gardens of my soul, trying to make it flourish and bloom, and in the colorful and colorful, I heard the hundreds of voices of the "yellow oriole next leaf", and my heart was full of infinite comfort.

What really supports a person's long-term survival is the sunshine and self-confidence in the heart. To be the master of one's own destiny, "do not rejoice in things, do not grieve with yourself." With a firm belief in life, the soul has a destination, and it will no longer wander and wander. Even if you encounter unfairness or ups and downs, you can not be humble, and if you are at peace, no matter how much you pay, you will be willing to eat, no complaints, no regrets.

Guarding the hot land of the soul, you are firmly guarding the happiness that belongs to you.

Even if you are a nameless water weed on the bank of the river, you are not afraid of wind, frost, rain and snow, you still hold up your proud head, open your slender and weak arms, and embrace the splendid life of the four seasons! Live your own dexterous and moving appearance!
