Let go of the past and reconcile with yourself.
Cangyang Gyatso once wrote in a poem:
"In the world, apart from life and death, which one is not idle."
Having said that, very few people in this world can really reach this realm.
Many times, we are troubled by various locks, worrying about the past and the future.
I never thought that a lot of sorrow and trouble in life are that I can't get along with myself, if I am always depressed about some small things, and I bind myself for no reason, how can I live without getting tired.
People live for a short life, right and wrong, success or failure, gain or loss, in fact, do not need to see so important.
Life is a passerby, there is no need to be too persistent.
01
Let go of the past, the past can not be traced.
Hayao Miyazaki wrote in Spirited Away:
"Life is a train to the grave, there will be many stations on the road, it is difficult for someone to accompany the whole journey from beginning to end;
When your companion is about to get off the bus, you should be grateful even if you don't give up, and then wave goodbye. ”
Man's life is to repeat the encounter and parting.
Some people are like feathers, just fluttering across the skin, leaving no trace;
Some people are like a thorn, stuck deep in the heart, sometimes stinging nerves.
And what we should do is to learn to pull out this thorn, let the inner wound slowly heal, and then be brave to love again.
Former British Prime Minister Lloyd George has a habit of closing the door behind him.
Once he was walking in the courtyard with a friend, and he also passed a door and closed it.
His friend asked him, "Do you think it's necessary to close these doors?" ”
Prime Minister Lloyd George said:
"Of course it's necessary, because that's what you're going to do for a lifetime. When you close the door, leave everything about the past behind, whether it's a good accomplishment or a frustrating mistake, and then you can start all over again. ”
Don't look back, don't fall in love with the old, leave the pain and trouble in the lost years.
Let go of the past and move forward, it will be more beautiful.
If you lose your self-confidence and hope for the future, it is really a cyclical torture.
Prosperity will eventually come to an end, and returning to the basics is beauty.

Cherish the moment and love yourself.
A scholar asked the Zen master, "Master, how long will it take for me to become enlightened?" ”
The Zen master said, "Ten years." ”
The monk asked, "Does it take ten years?" Master, how long will it take me to become enlightened if I redouble my asceticism? ”
The Zen master said, "Twenty years." ”
The monk then asked, "If I meditate day and night, without sleep, how long will it take to become enlightened?" ”
The Zen master said, "Then you will never have the day of enlightenment." ”
The monk asked confusedly, "Why?" ”
The Zen master said, "You only care about the results of your meditation, so how can you have time to pay attention to yourself?" ”
The things of the moment are the most precious things in our lives.
Live in the present moment, when things come, single-mindedly, do not think before and after, keep your mind calm and not messy.
To enjoy life, to embrace the present, to give yourself a little time alone.
There is a poem in Wang Wei's "Farewell to the South":
"Go to the bottom of the water and sit and watch the clouds rise."
There are too many things in the world, and only the present is the most important.
The rest of life is still long, do not panic, the future life, hidden in every day we have now, the present is the future.
A happy and simple life is worth experiencing.
Life is long, happy or unhappy is a lifetime, why not make yourself happy?
Leave the unpleasant to the past, and put the sunshine happily into the present.
Don't bother with the past, just laugh for the rest of your life.

Letting go is the cure for everything.
Mr. Inamori said:
"Facing difficulties and adversities with optimism is the iron rule of success in life."
I heard a story about a man who was troubled by the stresses of life and wanted to find a solution, so he found a wise man.
The wise man did not answer his question directly, but gave him a basket and asked him to pick up the stones on the road as he walked.
The man picked up various stones as he walked.
But as he walked, the stones on his body became heavier and heavier, causing him to have difficulty walking, and he eventually fell to the ground exhausted.
The wise man told him: In fact, you only need to pour out the stones in the basket, and you can go light.
Each of us comes into this world with an empty basket on our backs.
Then in the journey of life, while walking, put some things into the basket, when there are more and more things in the basket, we will feel more and more difficult.
Life is destined to let go of something, and what should not be remembered is completely abandoned, and too much nostalgia will only become a bondage.
There is nothing in the world, and the mediocre disturb themselves.
There is such a story.
A blacksmith whose family was very poor.
So the blacksmith often worried: What if I fell ill and could not work? What if I don't earn enough money to spend?
As a result, this series of worries was like a heavy burden that overwhelmed him, making him unable to eat well, sleep badly, and his health worse and worse.
One day the blacksmith went shopping on the street and suddenly passed out on the side of the road, just as a medical doctor passed by.
The Doctor, having sympathized with him after inquiring about the situation, gave him a gold necklace and said to him:
"Don't sell it unless you have to."
The blacksmith took the gold necklace and went home happily.
Since then, he has often thought about this necklace and comforted himself: "If I really have no money, I will sell this necklace." ”
In this way, he worked steadily during the day, slept peacefully at night, and gradually regained his health.
Later, his youngest son also grew up, and the blacksmith family's economy was also prosperous.
Later, he took the gold necklace to the jewelry store for valuation, and the boss told him that the necklace was copper and worth only one dollar.
The blacksmith suddenly realized, "What the doctor gave me was not a necklace, but a cure."
The writer Lin Qingxuan once said a passage:
"After sweeping today's fallen leaves, tomorrow's leaves will not fall today, don't worry about tomorrow, and try to live in this moment today."
In life, most of the troubles are because I think too much and can't let go.
In life, nothing is impossible to put down.
Only when there is a sacrifice can there be gain; only when there is a letting go can there be a harvest.

The Ten Deadly Sins says:
"The world is troubled, there are countless troubles, the reason is only three points, can not see through, can not open, can not put down."
May you not be trapped in the heart, not confused, not afraid of the future, not thinking about the past.
Gains and losses follow fate, and people are at ease with their hearts.
Life is a passerby, why be too persistent.
Click on the watch, may you:
Do not cling to the past, simple and casual, worry-free;
Do not entangle the deceased, the past is clear, love and hate at will;
Don't mess with the present, simplify the complex, love life.
