When the moon is full, it begins to wane; when the water is full, it begins to overflow. In gaining, we always lose something, which is a common principle in the world. Therefore, in life, facing what we have lost, we should be calm like water; and facing what we have gained, we should maintain an ordinary heart.
Life is like a play, and everyone is the unique director of their own life. Smiling at life allows us to possess a broad-minded realm of life. Life will not be too perfect, so we need to adjust our attitude towards bitterness and sweetness.
Sowing a kind of realm reaps a kind of attitude,
Sowing a kind of attitude reaps a kind of character,
Sowing a kind of character reaps a kind of behavior,
Sowing a kind of behavior reaps a kind of fate,
Sowing a kind of fate reaps a kind of result.
If we possess a positive attitude, we can gain happiness and change our fate. Optimistic and cheerful people can turn ordinary days into something full of interest, transform heavy living into something light and lively, turn difficult times into something sweet and precious, and make complicated matters simple and mature.
Qu Yuan sighed in "Li Sao": The road is long and far away, I will search up and down. On the journey of life, we will naturally obtain many experiences and lessons from others and ourselves. These lessons bring us some insights and reflections. Truth is often simple and clear, but because our hearts are obscured by dust, simple truths become complicated. Once we understand them clearly, our journey of life will no longer be aimless or confused. The world is vast, and life is short. If we do not direct ourselves well, how can we comprehend the meaning of life?
The meaning of life does not lie in how many winding roads we have walked, but in how much philosophy we have realized from them. These timeless worldly wisdoms will help us recognize true life and enjoy the happiness of life.
Pursuing hardship is human nature, but experiencing hardship is also inevitable in life. If a person does not experience setbacks and hardships, they cannot be strong, mature, extraordinary, or reach a higher realm of life. Remember the ancient teaching: "Heaven will impose great tasks on this person, and must first make his mind suffer, tire his muscles and bones, and leave him destitute," only then is it possible to reach the realm of "Silently looking back, that person is in the dimly lit corner." Therefore, don't daydream that life is always perfect. On the journey of life, encountering setbacks and confusion is not scary, as long as the belief in our hearts does not wither, even in the midst of harsh winds and rain, we will remain calm.
Falling petals drift in late spring, but next year they bloom brilliantly again;
Yellow leaves fall in the autumn wind, but in spring, they once again burst with vitality.
Isn't this a kind of optimism, a kind of transcendence, a maturity in life, and a sophistication in human relations? "Mountains and waters seem to lead to no way out, but there is suddenly a village with dark willows and bright flowers." Hardship is about to pass, and brightness lies ahead. "People have sourness, sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness; the moon has phases of shadow and light - such completeness is hard to achieve since ancient times." On the journey of life, hardship coexists with joy. Hardship makes one think, hardship makes one mature, hardship makes one strong, and hardship makes one cherish happiness. Joy exists within life, but we need to discover it, uncover it, develop it, and create it. We must be good directors of ourselves and perform well in our own lives. May joy accompany us, allowing us to live more freely, more extraordinarily, and more happily!
