There is a way that "gain by chance, loss is inevitable, go with the flow, plain and peaceful." ”
Whether by chance or necessity, they are like a pair of "contradictions" that surround us. Life is a process of combining chance and necessity.
To put it bluntly, the so-called accidents and necessities are just variables and definite numbers of life.
In your opinion, in this life, is it a "fixed number"? Or is it a "variable"?
In this regard, Zeng Guofan said that in order to achieve great things, people seek to live in half, and Providence lives in half.
If ordinary people want to achieve a great cause, they must have "human conspiracy" and more importantly, "providence". Only the combination of human intrigue and providence can constitute our complete life.
In short, the fixed number is half, and the variable is half. In this way, our lives can be complete.
Paying too much attention to "fixed numbers" will only make yourself negative. And being too concerned about "variables" will become arrogant and vulnerable to the beatings of life.
In fact, as long as people do their best and obey the destiny of heaven, it is enough.
Sooner or later, you will know that in this life, in addition to having a huge fixed number, there will be these 3 "variables", which should be well grasped.
02
In this life, there is a variable of "choice".
There is a saying that life is a program, and each choice is like adding letter symbols to the program until the day when the program becomes complete.
What kind of choice we have, what kind of result will be encountered.
From birth to the time of the college entrance examination at the age of 18, people choose to study hard or choose to drop out of school. All of this depends on our own intentions and pursuits.
After the age of 18, we are all adults, and powerful people can choose to further their studies, while ordinary people can choose to go out to work. Different choices, different professional life.
At the age of 30, do we choose to be single, or do we choose to get married and have children? Different choices will have a great impact on our future.
......
All the way down the choice, this "choice" is in our hands. While we don't know what will happen to the outcome, at least the "variables" of choice are in our hands.
People, if they want to live a better life, must be "cautious" in every choice. Otherwise, all misfortunes and tragedies will be borne by ourselves.
03
In this life, there are variables of "mentality".
In your opinion, what does the happiness of a person in this life have to do with it? There is no doubt that it has something to do with our mentality.
If we have money, then we live a small life of relative wealth; if we have no money, then we live a good mentality. At the very least, with a good mindset, everything will go uphill.
The reason why people are unhappy is because we do not choose a good mentality.
Mentality is something that outsiders cannot change, and the right to change is in our hands. What kind of mentality we have, what kind of life we will live.
There is naturally a gap in the material money that people have between people. And the mentality between people, good or bad, in fact, the gap is not large, the owner of it is still our own.
Some people choose to live this life "miserable", every day impatient, and even have a negative mentality, then he is not happy, it can only be a matter of mentality.
Some people are greedy, and it is not enough to earn 100,000 a month, or even want to earn 1 million, so that they can live unhappily. His misfortune is not actually material misfortune, but mental misfortune.
Therefore, the first way to get rid of the tragedy is to start with the "mentality". At least, on a sunny day, a thousand flowers bloom.
04
In this life, there are variables of "virtue".
As the saying goes: "Everything is fate, and half a point is not up to man." ”
These words illustrate a truth, our fortunes, that is fixed. However, this definite number is not absolute, but relative.
In this regard, Zeng Guofan has a saying: "Husbands should seek life in death, and seek blessings in misfortune; the ancients were troubled and cultivated morality, and poor and wrote books." ”
What can affect a person's definite number can only be the variable of "virtue."
Why is it that a large number of people who have won the 10 million lottery and become poor three years later cannot grasp the money? In a word, it is because their "virtue" is not enough.
"Zhou Yi" said that the terrain is kun, and the gentleman carries things with thick virtue.
Only thick virtue can carry great blessings and wealth. People who lack virtue, let alone have great wealth, may even have problems seizing opportunities.
Improving our virtues, making it as thick as the earth, is the effective way for us to change the future. Imagine if your virtue is enough to grasp billions of riches, then will you still be poor?
Human poverty is not only related to ability, but also to virtue. All good fortune will run to the side of the virtuous. This is the foundation of people's sustained development.
05
Write to the end
Choice, mindset, and virtue can change our lives. The reason why we are still bound by life is because we have not grasped these three points.
Being a person is a random choice, no planning, which will harm yourself; being a person with a bad mentality, being too pessimistic, and putting yourself in pain; being a person who lacks virtue and does no evil will eventually affect three generations of a family.
We must firmly believe that choosing a good mentality, choosing good virtues, standardizing our words and deeds, and calming down the hostility in our hearts, even if we are worse, we can stabilize our lives, plain to old age, and there is no big accident.
All variables are in your hands. All misfortune is born of oneself.
