James's wisdom lies in his profound insight: "Your present situation is a sculpture of yesterday's thoughts; And the road ahead will be guided by your thoughts today. ”
The journey of life finally comes to simplicity, like looking back at the setting sun, and the soul longs for tranquility and indifference.
The years are long, the years are getting older, and the people's hearts are longing, but one side is quiet, so that the soul can rest, find peace and calm.
In such tranquility, troubles are like fine dust in the wind, gently dissipated; Concern and obsession gradually faded out of the heart.
There is a cloud in Buddhism: "Troubles have no roots, and they do not disappear after themselves; Confusion is invisible, and it is not self-solving. ”
Learn to forgive yourself, treat yourself with compassion, close the door to complaining, extinguish the flame of desire, and abandon arrogance.
In this way, not only can the self be sublimated and the scars can be repaired, but in the process, a complete self is achieved and a splendid picture of life is drawn.
Close the door to complaining
If complaining can really change fate, there will be no suffering in the world.
Unfortunately, complaining is like a corrosive agent of life, which makes people unconsciously fall into endless distractions and frustrations.
People who are accustomed to complaining often have weak emotional control and lose control of their lives.
The stage of their minds is forever a script of dissatisfaction and lamentation, rather than an active search for solutions.
As Will Bowen insightfully insighted in The World Without Complaining: "Complaining focuses our attention on the injustices and difficulties in front of us, rather than on the way to break the situation." This is a flood of negative energy that will only make the situation worse. ”
Whether it is venting external dissatisfaction or internal self-criticism, complaining not only does not help solve the problem, but worsens it, consuming one's energy and time.
Wise men never complain, they know that internal friction is useless, and complaining is not the solution to the problem.
Instead, they choose to close the door to complaining and devote their precious energy to self-improvement and transformation.
When you devote yourself wholeheartedly to self-growth, life will naturally return to you smoothly and beautifully, get on the right track, and move towards a higher place.
This path is not only the right direction, but also the only way to self-sublimation.
Through unremitting efforts and personal growth, we will eventually usher in a glorious chapter of our own.
Benjamin Franklin said, "Constant complaining is the greatest disadvantage to the ease of life we enjoy." "Complaining, in fact, is a senseless consumption of one's own energy, voluntarily giving up the initiative of fate.
Over time, the quality of life of the complainer deteriorated, the spiritual journey became heavier, and finally life became miserable.
Only by giving up complaining can we regain inner peace and tenacity.
Emotions return to tranquility, mentality tends to be stable, go all out in the present, cherish and enjoy every moment, be kind to yourself, and walk the journey of life gracefully.
In short, quitting complaining is the first step to embracing the beauty of life, and it is also the only way to self-realization and happiness.
Close the door of desire
If the desires are too numerous and strong, they often become a burden on life.
After all, managing and reconciling these desires requires a lot of time and energy.
It is a big mistake to think that you are constantly enjoying the fruits of your desires, rather than being consumed by them.
At every moment of life, our mental activities are secretly consuming inner energy, and desire is this invisible source of energy.
As Mark Twain said, "Desire is like a loan, at first it is like a friend, and finally it becomes a suffocating debt." ”
Trying to control desires with one's own energy is actually easy to be passive, but it is consumed by it, and finally exhausted.
Lao Tzu Youyun: "There is no greater misfortune than discontentment, and there is no greater blame than desire." ”
A wise man is adept at discerning and controlling desires, keeping only what is truly needed and desired.
In this way, we can harness the power of desire to make the journey of life more calm, firm, rich and peaceful.
Mencius taught, "There is nothing more to nourish the mind than to reduce desires." ”
A truly strong person makes good use of his own ability to improve himself, continues to control his life, and leads himself forward.
Only in this way can we skillfully lay out our lives, dominate the overall situation of our lives, and achieve true self-mastery.
Close the door to arrogance
The real obstacle to growth, the root of personal destruction, is not ignorance, but arrogance.
The arrogant are trapped in the cage of their own world, believing that they are flawless and claiming to be the top of everything.
However, the mountains of the world are connected, and the higher ones are eternal. Those who live a clear and firm life will have a brighter world and a more stable heart.
The key is that the truly strong have the courage to reflect on themselves at any time, and humbly revise and reinvent themselves.
In this way, we can gradually perceive our inner flaws and continue to explore ways to improve ourselves.
With a positive and enterprising heart and a humble attitude, we can drive growth independently and move towards strength.
"Caigen Tan" has a teaching: "The heart of a gentleman is like a sunny blank day, open and hidden; The talent of a gentleman, the pearl of jade, is deeply hidden. ”
Traveling in the world, only those who are strong in their hearts can rely on perseverance and perseverance to gain insight into the world in the midst of interpersonal turmoil and have an open mind.
In this way, we can deeply understand the essence and true meaning of life, feel the smallness and fragility of life, and give birth to a sincere heart of reverence for life, leading us to move forward steadily.
In the book, there is another cloud: "The world is dustless, the sea is not bitter, and the dust and bitterness are born from the heart." ”
Although we are insignificant in the vast universe, we can face challenges with hope and responsibility.
It is this hard work and growth that has shaped the trajectory of our lives, enriching and perfecting our existence, and even treating every moment with kindness.
