In terms of doing things, many of Wang Yangming's views often break through the mysteries in one word, and those problems that have plagued us for many years can be answered in Wang Yangming's words. For example, in Wang Yangming's view, if a person stops moving forward, most of them cannot be relieved on 3 issues, so that they cannot move forward.
01
A matter of thought
Don't ask about the past, live in the present
Wang Yangming said: "What is the benefit of thinking about the past and future events? Rest assured. "What is the use of thinking about the past and the future, but it is just to increase the trouble."
The past and the future are actually unreal, the past is a foregone conclusion, we think no more to help, the future has not yet come, for the future fantasy, is nothing more than their own imagination.
So, the most important and real thing is the present moment. But we are always mistaken in the present moment to miss the past and look forward to the future.
Occasionally, this is not to blame, because memories and longings are normal human emotions. But to dwell on the past, or to hope too much for the future, is a waste of one's life.
Your past is caused by the present moments before the past, and your future is also determined by what you do in the present. So, between the past, the future, and the present, the only thing we can grasp is the present.
Work, no matter how good it was before, can't come back, don't wait for the arrival of good work, the current work is your business.
People, the deceased, no matter how many grievances and beauty, are no longer real, cherishing the people in front of you is the right thing to do. Otherwise, the person in front of you will also become your deceased.
Cherishing the present is a simple sentence, but many people do not cherish it at all.

Matter of things
But be unashamed, don't seek everything as you wish
Wang Yangming said: "It is beneficial for people to grind in things." ”
You must have had this experience, you have not yet started working, you are worried about whether you can do a good job, what to do if you can't do it well? If you do it well, what will happen? What will I get? When doing things, even hesitate, this thing is not worth doing, did not do no results are not done in vain? Well done, with flowers applause and so on. However, the mind to really do things is used very little, even hastily, ending the task.
In fact, when you think about it, these worries are meaningless, they don't help you to do anything, but it will consume our energy, which will bring more complaints and troubles.
One thing, more worries, more can not be executed, more hopes, and in the end may be more disappointed, hitting confidence. So, no matter what you do, the process is always the most important. But do good deeds, don't ask the future is roughly what it means.
Just like going to travel, the feeling of really seeing the scenery is actually like that, but on the way to the scenic spot, it is the happiest. And what we want to enjoy is precisely the process of "seeing the scenery", not the end of the "scenic spot".

People's problems
Those who know their destiny do not complain about heaven, and those who know themselves do not complain about others
Wang Yangming said: "Those who know their destiny do not complain about heaven, and those who know themselves do not complain about others." ”
When people encounter injustice, unhappiness, and setbacks, they are most likely to complain about this and complain about that: Why am I so unlucky? Why is my luck so bad? It's all your fault... In fact, the hardest thing we can ask is, "By what am I?" ”
Everything you want, wealth, health, family and so on. Whatever it is, it needs an equivalent exchange, and what can you exchange for it?
Wealth needs to be exchanged for self-worth, health needs to be exchanged for exercise and dietary rules, and family needs companionship to exchange.
For a general reason, we will only look at one outcome, but not what we can pay for that outcome. When you know you haven't done enough, you don't blame others.
I am the reason for everything, all the unsatisfactory, is that I have not done a good job, which is to find the root of the problem. Start with yourself to solve the problem.
