The wisdom proverb in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon reminds us: "The clasped hands are often empty, but when the palms are unfolded, the whole world is in the palm of your hands." ”
This sentence profoundly reveals that the more you give up, the more abundant your inner sense of abundance becomes.
In the face of past regrets and misses, we should learn to let go and understand that every time we let go is a better welcome for the future.
And for those matters that are beyond one's control, embracing a mindset that comes with the situation is a bridge to inner peace.
Life is short, and if you want to transform yourself, you must first have the courage to give up.
What we mean here is to get rid of the obsessions and burdens that bind our minds.
Only in this way can we travel lightly and start the journey of transformation.
Knowing how to let go and follow fate is not only a philosophical insight into life, but also the key to inner freedom and abundance.
Throw away the complaining mentality
On Zhihu, a thought-provoking question: "Who is the most comfortable to be with?"
One of the most praised answers was succinct and powerful: "Those who never complain." ”
This is an apt statement, as some wise men said: "The sweetness of life is not given by good times, but by the tenacity of mind in adversity." ”
That's true. On the road of life, nothing is difficult to overcome, everything is the beginning and end, and the mentality is great.
Complaining, like a chronic poison, silently consumes enthusiasm and drains our positive energy.
People who are accustomed to complaining are surrounded by gloom and darkness, and there is no light or hope in sight.
On the contrary, those who choose to remain silent in the face of difficult situations, manage their emotions properly, and deal with challenges in a positive and objective manner will always have a sunny world.
There is an evocative story: an old man loved lotus flowers, and after retirement, he took a lotus pond and planted lotus flowers in the pond with his own hands.
In the scorching summer, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, attracting an endless stream of tourists, and the praise is endless.
When the old man saw this, he was satisfied.
However, the good times did not last long, a sudden rainstorm broke the tranquility, the lotus flowers were tragically destroyed, and the lotus pond was in shambles. The onlookers lamented again and again and lamented that the world was unpaid.
Some people were worried that the old man would be sad when he saw this scene, so he went to console: "The rainstorm is merciless, and it has ruined this beautiful scenery, which is really a failure of your hard work, and if you are resentful, you should complain a few words." ”
When the old man heard this, he smiled indifferently:
"There is no need to complain, let alone regret.
Planting lotus is supposed to please oneself, and the happiness in the process is enough.
The lotus is in full bloom, I have enjoyed its beauty, the flowers bloom and fall, the laws of nature, why be sentimental?
Thank you for your appreciation, it's an added joy. ”
"Xunzi Honor and Disgrace" has a cloud: "Those who complain are sleepy, and those who complain have no ambition." ”
The journey of life, many changes, is a foregone conclusion, changing perspectives, embracing new attitudes, far better than useless complaints.
The latter only adds to unnecessary worries and does not help.
In the second half of life, the depth of happiness begins with the abandonment of complaining.
In the face of injustice and challenges, we can smile at the wind and rain with an open-minded attitude, so as to start a brighter life journey.
Throw away the extra baggage
Zhou Guoping's wise words revealed: "Life needs to have the wisdom of not competing. ”
People who truly have a broad vision and profound wisdom will not indulge in the entanglement of gains and losses in the past. The past is gone, the end is decided, and too much thinking is a useless burden.
Only by learning to look to the future and abandon the redundant burdens can we easily embark on a new journey.
As Tao Yuanming said: "People are tired of things, and the heart is servant", the journey of life is often trapped by material desires and the shackles of fame and fortune, which limits the vision of a higher future.
As you enter middle age, the true path to liberation lies in learning to let go of burdens that are no longer necessary.
This is illustrated by a story about a practitioner who asks a Zen master for help, distressed by the obstacles in his heart and unable to let go.
The Zen master replied indifferently: "You can't let go of non-things, but it is the attachment and ideological shackles in your heart that make it so." ”
Still puzzled, the Zen master handed him a cup of hot tea and poured boiling water into it until the walker's hot hands were released.
The Zen master used the metaphor: "Life is like this cup of tea, when it is half full, it longs to be full, but when it is full, it can only bear the burning pain and let go." The same is true of the burden in the heart, and there is nothing to give up. ”
Only by abandoning obsessions, unloading burdens, and exploring the world with a pure heart can we see the beauty of all things and feel the clarity of the sky.
Life is a difficult journey, simplify distractions, return to the original, in order to find the original path, to avoid falling into the predicament of life.
Therefore, in the journey of life, learning to travel light is not only a wise choice, but also the only way to freedom of the soul.
The Buddha said, "If the mind is attached to one thought, it is limited by this thought; ”
As you get older, you should learn to reduce your burden, and useless things should be broken when you break them.
Only by having the courage to give up and keep the chaff from the chaff can we achieve self-transformation, go farther and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the world.
