Xi Murong said: "Wading through the river, there are thousands of hibiscus, the poem is simple, and the heart is simple. ”
That's pretty much what life looks like.
When we were young, we worked hard in the red dust, for life, for fame and fortune.
But I slowly realized that the more I wanted, the more I often lost myself.
Wang Yangming once said: "My generation works hard, only seeking to decrease day by day, not to increase day by day." To reduce a point of human desire is to regain a point of heavenly reason, how brisk and free, how simple!"
A person's best way to live is actually two words: simple.
There are 1,000 quintals of grain, and there are three meals a day; there is a lot of money, and it is also a day in black and white; and there are 10 bungalows, and there is also one bed.
In this life, there is actually too little that can be accommodated.
Only by giving up unnecessary desires and burdens can we live the true taste.
The road to simplicity and quality of life is not to go to the complex world, but to return to simple innocence.
If you are in a simple state of mind, you will be at ease
There is such a story:
Someone asked an enlightened master: What is the secret method of meditation?
The master said: Eat when you are hungry, and sleep when you are sleepy.
The man wondered: "Eating and sleeping is human nature, what kind of method is it?"
The master replied: "Ordinary people pick fat and thin when they eat, and they think crankily when they sleep. ”
Eating and sleeping is a very simple thing, but it is difficult to eat comfortably and sleep soundly, so as long as you are happy and full and sleep peacefully, it can be regarded as a kind of practice.
People suddenly realized: don't think about it, the mood is simple, and people will be happy.
Zhuangzi said: "The higher the level, the more simple the state of mind, do not care, do not argue, do not be disturbed by external objects. ”
In the TV series "Tiandao", there is such a clip that has confused the audience for a long time:
Rui Xiaodan went to Beijing to see Han Chufeng, and Han Chufeng told her: "Ding Yuanying is a person who is not obsessed with getting ahead, and he can be content if he has something to eat." ”
There is a comment on the barrage with the highest likes:
Ding Yuanying is fully capable of making her life more comfortable. In that class, enjoy the quality of life that he should enjoy.
The reason why others are puzzled is because they have too many concerns.
But Ding Yuanying is a master, and such a person can see through the essence of life better.
Life is a practice, after all, dust to dust, soil to earth, in the increasingly complex modern society, to be a simple state of mind, is the real realm.
There are many troubles in the world, all because they want too much, pursue too much, and are too complicated.
Complex desires can disturb the mind, and if you can't calm down, you will fall into endless troubles.
And a simple state of mind will make people jump out of the confinement and suddenly open up.
As the wise man said: life is simple and charming, and a simple mood is happiness. Learning to be simple is actually not simple.
The circle is simple, so that you can focus on yourself
Su Cen once said: "You don't have to invite too many people into your life, otherwise it will only disturb your life and make it crowded." ”
I think so.
People have to go through many people and many things in this life. But in fact, in this world, there may be only one place where you are most comfortable, and only one or two people know you best.
So, instead of wasting your energy in useless circles, you should spend your mind on running yourself.
The author, Jia Pingwa, is a person who likes to be lively and good at making friends, and when friends visit his family, he will give them a warm welcome and talk with them about the past and the present.
So much so that many times, because of interpersonal communication, the new book that was originally to be written was delayed.
But Jia Pingwa didn't think so, he felt that making friends all over the world was a worthwhile thing.
But as time went on, he found that many of the guests who came to visit him did not really make friends with him, but had other purposes.
So, since then, someone knocked on the door, Jia Pingwa no longer cheered, and even pushed away a lot of dispensable entertainment.
Giving up unnecessary social interactions, he began to focus on reading and writing.
Without the interference of the outside world, Jia Ping's pen is like a god, creating many masterpieces and becoming a generation of famous artists.
There is a saying that says: "Happiness begins with simplicity, pain comes from complexity, and if you want to live happily, you don't want to add to life, but to simplify it." ”
That's exactly what interpersonal communication is all about.
When you reach a certain age, you will find that your so-called acquaintance with many people and extensive contacts is just a false illusion.
You don't need too many friends, just one or two sincere ones.
Socializing is like salt, and complex circles will be salty.
The better the person, the easier it is to socialize, and those who don't matter will not solve your problems, but will become a fetters on your way to growth.
So, keep the circle clean, leave some time and energy to read and learn, and embrace a better version of yourself.
The goal is simple, and it can be achieved
Writer Haruki Murakami once said:
"Effort means moving towards what can be achieved. If a person always wants to achieve something beyond his ability, then there is adversity at all times. ”
In short, life is only 36,000 days, and trying to achieve too many goals in a limited time will distract you and end up with nothing.
The younger brother of Zeng Guofan, the "first minister of the late Qing Dynasty", served as the commander of the Hunan army.
But he always felt that he was born as a jinshi and was inferior.
So, during his tenure, he led the troops and prepared for the exam, wanting to become the leader with the highest academic qualifications.
But after Zeng Guofan found out, he warned his younger brother that he would either lead the troops to fight, or concentrate on preparing for the exam, and it would be useless to concentrate on two things.
This is insight.
Sure enough, after the younger brother gave up the idea of preparing for the exam, he focused on leading the troops, and highlighted his excellent military ability in the military camp, and even the eldest brother Zeng Guofan was ashamed of himself.
It can be seen that people's energy and ability are limited, rather than being greedy for more than chewing, it is better to concentrate on doing one thing well.
Li Dazhao said: "If you have a complicated mind, you can only turn your ideals into fantasies, and if you have a simple goal and work hard, you can accumulate something smaller than a big achievement." ”
The reason why many people give up halfway is because they set too high and too complicated goals for themselves, and they will feel frustrated if they do not complete them.
In fact, the right way to increase happiness is to set yourself minimalist goals in a limited amount of time.
It may seem like "self-motivated", but in fact, the simpler the goal, the easier it is to achieve, and after getting used to this state, you will inadvertently increase the intensity, and it will be easy to achieve expectations.
"There is nothing in the world, and mediocrity disturbs itself", it is clear that doing the things in front of you is safe, but you have to lose yourself in the overly rich ideal.
As everyone knows, simple goals and an orderly life are the best life.
The Tao Te Ching has clouds:
"The five colors make people blind, the five tones make people deaf, the five flavors make people feel refreshed, the galloping hunt makes people mad, and the rare goods make people walk in the way." ”
Life is long, the world is complicated, and simplicity is the smartest way to live.
As Yu Hua said, "People live for the sake of life itself, not for anything other than life." ”
Therefore, learn to clean up your bags and travel lightly, so that life can move forward better.
The rest of your life is not long, you must know how to cherish it, cut the complicated and simplify, don't think too complicated about everything, the noisy world, the simpler the happier.
In the second half of life, may we all live simply, live a quality life, and be happy ourselves.
