Looking at the reading| life is not simple, try to be simple

01

I have an old classmate who works as a preschool teacher in the countryside, and my husband is a fisherman, who has two lovely sons and lives a very happy life.

In fact, in terms of economic conditions, with the income of their husband and wife, maintaining a family of four is certainly not much more than enough.

But in her, there is a very good quality, that is, not to compare.

Among our classmates, she was the only one who did not buy a house in the city, but she never felt that she was inferior to others, nor did she shy away from discussing the topic of house with everyone.

The same is true of the education of children.

When our other parents are higher than the grades and better than the school, she does not mind sharing her parenting experience, but she will not be affected by our anxiety and biased.

With her, you will feel very relaxed, because you can feel that she is sincerely accepting everything, and there is no limit to people and things.

From her, I often think of such a sentence.

"Let the world be troubled, I am confident to walk idly."

In this glitzy and noisy world, no one can have everything, but there are always people who learn to be content and live out to be rich.

The reason is that they really live a simple life with a simple mindset, not compared with others, only to be themselves.

Most of us live in the pursuit of the camp.

We are afraid of being left behind, always thinking that we must have more and get more in order to win the dignity and self-confidence we want.

But in fact, this is a road with no end.

True self-confidence is precisely the need to prove yourself to anyone.

There is such a story in "The New Language of the World".

Huan Wen and Yin Hao are both young and famous, and their fame is equal, but Huan Wen is very eager to compete with Yin Hao.

One day, Huan Wen finally met Yin Hao, and he asked Yin Hao, "Why is Qing like me?" ”

In just four words, Huan Wen's competitive spirit was completely exposed.

In this regard, Yin Hao replied: After a long time with me, I would rather be me!

Meaning, I've been dealing with myself for a long time and still prefer to be myself.

I have to say that this is really a wise answer.

How others see themselves is really not so important, what is important is that they know how to accept themselves.

With this firm attitude, even if you encounter more people and things, you can maintain calmness and ease, not alarmed, not disturbed, not vine.

It is not the world that complicates life, but the human heart.

How complicated your heart is, how complicated the life you face is.

Many times, we feel unable to grasp our own lives because we want more than we can.

In fact, most of us are ordinary people, with limited ability, limited energy, and limited things we can get.

To give up those that do not belong to oneself is precisely to recognize what is truly suitable for oneself.

It doesn't have to be compared to anyone, because everyone has different things.

As the saying goes:

God will not let all happiness be concentrated on someone, and having love does not necessarily have money, having money may not necessarily lead to happiness, getting happiness may not have health, and having health may not be what everything will be.

Happiness is not how much you get, but how much your heart is satisfied.

Cherishing everything you have in your hands, being content with the present, and not worrying about the future is the best arrangement.

Life is not simple, try to live it as simple as possible.

What should be opened should be opened, what should be let go, the excess burden should be cleared, and the footsteps can be relaxed.

The world is impermanent, and it rises and falls with fate.

It is enough to feel happy for the rest of your life. (Author Nian Nian Source Nian Mu Xin WeChat public account anchor Lian Xiaodong)
