Knowing what to do is far greater than what to do.
So to know what we should do in this life, we must first know "who I really am."
It is not difficult to observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that in today's society, many people are in a confused state, most people are confused, do not know what to do, even if the work is to solve life.
The root cause is the lack of self-awareness, the inability to correctly view their own strengths and weaknesses, so it is inevitable to find the wrong direction in life.
Imagine a person who has no direction and no sense of mission, who naturally does not know what to do, and who naturally does nothing, goes with the flow, and life will fall into a sense of meaninglessness. Even more extreme ways to end their lives.
Conversely, a person who really knows who I am, no matter how wealthy, will also keep a low profile. No matter how poor, there is still unremitting efforts. It is precisely because they have a clear understanding of themselves, as the saying goes: "People are valuable in self-knowledge."
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="29" > want to understand who you are, you may wish to analyze it from two perspectives. </h1>
The first angle is human nature, everyone will have a different disposition, there are advantages and disadvantages, born so, it is difficult to change.
For example, kindness, seriousness, good planning, paranoia, stubbornness, impatience, sloppiness, etc. These are all human dispositions. Only by fully understanding their own disposition can they make the most of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses and make more correct choices.
Some things are born and created by heaven, and only by following such laws can we have better development if we conform to our own disposition, and in the words of Lao Tzu, "Dao Fa Nature" has violated the principle of morality from ancient times to the present, and it is difficult to achieve great achievements.
For example, Liu Bang, who is considered to be the "rogue emperor", is originally a grass people who can sit in the world and become the emperor, because Liu Bang has a very clear understanding of himself.
Just as Liu Bang himself said, if I want to say that in the midst of strategizing, I am victorious over a thousand miles away, then I am inferior to Zhang Zifang Zhang Liang; if I want to manage the country, appease the people, and ensure the supply of materials and grain in the rear, then I am not as good as Xiao He; as for commanding a million troops, invincible and invincible, then I am even less than Han Xin. And I can use them correctly, which is called knowing people to make good use of them, which is the fundamental reason why I can seize the world.
But how do you discover your own disposition?
In fact, it is not difficult to find that when we do something in line with nature, we will find that we are not only happy in our hearts, but also familiar with it, and even smooth sailing.
On the contrary, when we do things that are not in line with nature, we will find ourselves depressed all day long, taking care of one or the other, and unable to find the center of gravity of doing things.
The reason why it is difficult for people to listen to the inner voice is because in this impetuous society, it gives us too many temptations, let these fame and fortune be entangled, let money blind the eyes, so that people do not know why, go with the flow.
Therefore, on the road of our lives, we must learn to do subtraction, to block out the external things that hinder our natural nature, in order to truly calm down and listen to the inner call.
The second angle is to be clear about your identity.
We people must not be just one identity in this life, and we need to switch between different identities in different environments.
We are children before our parents, we should do filial piety, we are husbands in front of our wives, we should do our husbands' ways, we should do our best in front of our brothers and sisters, and in the end we must fulfill the principles of the Tao.
For example, if we are teachers, then we must fulfill the teaching path in our work. Whether we are junior teachers, intermediate teachers, senior teachers, even expert professors, we are just a teacher.
If a teacher is immersed in fame and title, he is bound to be top-heavy and lose sight of the other. If a teacher pays attention to fame and fortune, then she will look for flowers and applause, if a teacher is out of the lecture for a day, instead of focusing on his own field of research, imagine how many good talents can a teacher who is far away from the students cultivate for society?
Therefore, such a person completely forgets "who I am" as a teacher, "preaching and being confused by karma is always the responsibility and responsibility of the teacher."
A person who knows who he is, knows how to be at ease with the situation, can treat life calmly and calmly, can treat fame and fortune calmly, never give in to the issue of principle, and never compete for fame and fortune.
Truly do not like things and do not grieve with yourself. When we really understand these things, we will also understand that Fan Zhongyan's "the world is worried and worried before the world, and the world is happy and happy after the world", and Gu Yanwu's "the rise and fall of the world is responsible".
Therefore, virtue can protect children and grandchildren, and fame and fortune will only hinder nature.
Fame and fortune are by no means wealth, as a family can be passed on from generation to generation is not material, knowing the principles of nature, is the value of life pursuit.
