The road of life is not smooth, and the frequent encounters of setbacks and difficulties constitute the normal state of life.
Some individuals may permanently lose confidence due to setbacks, while others are able to bounce back from the bottom and regain success.
Does the proverb "auspicious people have their own blessings" mean that there is indeed a difference in fortune between people?
What is the success of those who can turn disasters into opportunities and turn disadvantages into advantages?
In this day we will explore the traits of those who are considered to have good luck.
01
It's all good
Many individuals approach life with unexpected joy when things are going well, and blame Providence or others when they encounter adversity.
This kind of willful and willful approach is not robust and therefore difficult to achieve significant results.
Lack of reverence leads to self-reflection and delves into the inner logic of events.
The awe-inspiring individual will reflect on why fate has caused such an event to happen, what message it is sending to themselves, and use this as an opportunity to improve themselves and analyze the problem holistically.
The Book of Changes states: "One yin and one yang is the Tao", indicating that good things can turn into bad things, and bad things can also be expected to become good things, and every individual has the opportunity to learn from them, regardless of the outcome.
In exploring the complexity of all things in the world, we cannot but mention the duality of things, a nature that requires us to master and apply the philosophy of yin and yang in order to transform events into good results in a constant cycle.
As the old saying goes: "People can promote the Tao, but not the Tao", which shows that in a specific environment, the development of events is restricted by the macro environment.
Although the good and evil of things may not be immediately apparent, if we deeply understand and practice the path of yin and yang, we will realize that everything that happens in the universe, especially in things related to the individual, is good and there is no misfortune.
If anything is seen as a good thing, its trajectory will tend to be positive, and conversely, if it is seen as unfortunate, its direction will also be negative, which is shaped by personal attitudes.
We often say that "all wishes come true" because things themselves have the duality of yin and yang. When we focus on the positive aspects and respond with a positive attitude, things will naturally turn for the better.
This process is to think about good, work in a good direction, and finally achieve the goal of avoiding evil and striving for good.
When we revere the laws of nature, we remind ourselves to be in awe of things and to conform to them, so as to reveal the beneficial side of things and translate them into positive results, which will make us invincible on the road of life.
02
Do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and seek more happiness and blessings through self-cultivation and improvement.
On the stage of life, our fundamental pursuit is to constantly improve ourselves and shape a better destiny, so that we can finally return home successfully. The only way to achieve this is to do good, and there is no other way to do it.
It is undeniable that everyone is not immune to mistakes in their journey in life. It is impossible to find an individual who has never done evil in his life, who has always been good. Therefore, the karma that we accumulate from life to life must be a mixture of good and malice.
There will always be some unsatisfactory fate, and the length of life is unpredictable. Therefore, we must immediately and positively reflect and identify our own mistakes, which is the way to pursue happiness.
Although many people believe in the principle of doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, they often question: Why have they done many good deeds but their fate has not improved? This can only show that they lack confidence and sincerity, and naturally they cannot see significant results.
As long as we work harder and work harder, the effect will naturally be evident when our efforts reach a sufficient level. If we are not strong enough to change the constants of fate, then fate will proceed according to the original law. However, when our efforts go beyond this constant, the effect of avoiding evil and seeking good will be significant.
In the professional field, we often emphasize a point of view: "But seek no fault, not merit." At the heart of this philosophy is the idea that individuals should focus on avoiding mistakes and preventing mistakes, which requires a great deal of concentration and vigilance. Whether or not significant achievements or moral gains have been achieved is usually best evaluated by an authority or by others.
When a person consciously pursues to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, he may have fallen into an illusory state of mind. From a professional point of view, unconscious lapses may be forgiven to some extent, however, the conscious pursuit of merit can violate certain insurmountable boundaries that are difficult for anyone to bear.
The I Ching, an ancient classic text, expounds the concepts of auspiciousness, danger, and regret and repentance. According to the book's teachings, to turn a bad into a good, it is necessary through remorse and change. "Remorse" and "miserliness" are two key elements in this process, and they represent the psychological response after making a mistake. However, both of these words, while related to fault, have different meanings. The word "repentance" originates from the heart and expresses sincere remorse after making a mistake and seeks to correct it, while the word "miserly" refers to words, which represents verbal repentance, but there is a lack of sincerity in the heart, and even looking for excuses to cover up or shirk responsibility.
Professional analysis shows that sincere repentance usually leads to positive results, while mere verbal repentance often leads to negative outcomes. Because mistakes are not confronted and corrected in good faith, small oversights can turn into bigger mistakes with adverse consequences.

Only by being good at making up for mistakes can you be blameless
In "Uploading Words", there is a passage: "Those who regret miserliness are also small flaws." Those who are not to blame will make up for their mistakes. This statement makes it clear that whenever we face regret or regret, it stems from our small mistakes. However, as long as we are good at repairing these mistakes, we can avoid the consequences of "blamelessness."
In the context of morality and ethics, regret, regret, and danger can all be regarded as faults, collectively referred to as "blame". However, by effectively mending these faults, we can transform them into "blamelessness." Therefore, the importance of repentance is self-evident.
When people are in good times, they tend to get carried away. In this state, they may ignore their small mistakes, and instead of sincerely correcting them, they may choose to shirk responsibility, which leads to the appearance of danger, and then regret it. This process of moving from good to dangerous, and then regretting in danger, is worthy of our deep thought and improvement. Because once the danger comes, it is too late to regret it.
Lao Tzu once said: "Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking." Most people just recite this phrase mechanically without understanding its deeper meaning. In life, nine times out of ten, things go unsatisfactory, and we should all learn to be patient and prevent. In other words, when we are in good times, we should anticipate possible problems, repent in advance, and give full play to the auspiciousness of correcting mistakes, so that we can reap the benefits from them, gradually tend to be auspicious, and stay away from dangers. Isn't this the process of slowly moving from danger to auspiciousness?
