There is a self-discipline

When a person reaches middle age, he or she has an old man and a young one, and is the backbone of the family, as well as the backbone of the business, and has to maintain a decent life.

Gradually found that there are too many emotions nowhere to discharge, and there are too many relationships that need to be unblocked

Philosopher Henry David Thoreau once said, "A man's wealth is proportional to the number of things he can give up."

At a certain age, people should learn to "recycle" their lives, to get back the beauty they have neglected, their lost selves, and the happiness they have missed.

01

Slow down, recycle life

We all know that in the track and field race, the key to winning the race is to get to the finish line quickly.

And on the track of life, stop when you are tired, only to renew your body and mind, life can be more beautiful.

There is a fable-like this.

In the forest, there was a squirrel who was running fast.

The sparrow saw it and said, "Little squirrel, little squirrel, why are you running so fast? Give your legs a rest!"

The squirrel ran back and said, "I can't stop, I want to see what the end of the road looks like."

After a while, he met a turtle, who asked him, "Why are you running so fast? Let's get some sun!"

The squirrel replied, "No, I am anxious to go to the end of the road and see what it looks like."

So the little squirrel ran without stopping, thinking only of reaching the end of the road quickly.

One day, as it was running, it was suddenly hit by something and had to stop.

When it looked up, it found a big tree, it had reached the end of the road unknowingly.

To its great remorse, it was already old at this time.

However, on this journey only cared about running, but forgot to look at the scenery along the road.

Our life is also the same, to live, busy running around, in the end, or tired of life.

Slow down the pace, perhaps the loss of some of the immediate benefits, but can enjoy the beauty of life.

French sculptor Rodin once said, "Life is not the lack of beauty, but the lack of eyes to find the beauty."

The mountains of life are not only the beauty of standing at the top of the mountain with an unobstructed view but also the beauty of being in the landscape on the way up.

Slow down, know how to appreciate the scenery along the way, to find the joy of life, life can be more beautiful.

02

Put down the past, recycle yourself

I'm sure many people have heard the story of the historian Tan Ian.

After several years of hard work and many revisions of the Ming dynasty chronicles of Tan, Ian was stolen overnight, so his years of hard work turned into nothing.

Imagine if Tan Ian had just wallowed in his pain, there would have been no possibility of making the new "State Question" and himself famous for thousands of years.

Tan Ian's experience makes it clear that the only way to rediscover ourselves is to let go of the past and not cling to it.

Many times we think we are not lucky enough to rise above ourselves, is it because we are not capable of doing so?

No, it is not.

It's because we don't know how to let go of the past that we should have let go of in our hearts.

German writer Herman Hesse said, "Some people think that holding on makes us stronger, but sometimes letting go does too."

A mature person knows that only by letting go of the past can he or she reclaim a happy self.

After experiencing all the things in life, we will find that reconciliation with ourselves is the best blessing in the second half of our lives.

03

Let go of desires and recycle happiness

The Russian writer Tolstoy wrote a story like this.

There was a hardworking farmer Pah om, to get a piece of land of his own, and he sold part of his property. He sold part of his property and bought a piece of land for himself by drawing money in advance from his son's work as a long laborer and borrowing money from his relatives.

But he was still not satisfied, and after some time he sold all his land and went across the Volga River to buy cheap land.

Soon after, he heard that in Bashing he could buy even more cheap land by giving gifts to the chief.

So Pah om and his servant came to see the Bashing chief with a heavy gift.

The chief was pleased and said to him, "We have plenty of lands here, so choose whichever land you want."

The chief also told him, "If you pay 1000 rubles, you can walk as far as you want in a day, and all the land you walk through will be yours. But before the sun sets, you must return to the place where you started."

Pahom was very happy to hear this. The next day at dawn, he began to scramble to hurry, not a moment's rest.

He tried to get as far as he could, but when he reached the fourth edge of the land, he looked up and realized that the sun was going down.

He ran desperately toward the starting point, but unfortunately, he died of exhaustion when he was two steps away from the starting point.

It has been said, "Satisfaction lies not in adding more fuel, but in reducing the fire, not in accumulating wealth, but in reducing lust."

The root cause of most people's distress in life is the loss of balance between what they get and what they want.

Those who live happy life do not desperately pursue those things that do not belong to them but meditate and enjoy what they already have.

People live a life, but a hundred years, instead of struggling in the ocean of desire, why not reduce expectations, calm the mind, and let happiness take root in the heart?

In between the years, which is not painful, as long as we slow down the pace, let ourselves walk with time; let go of the past, let our mind to zero; let go of desire, and let ourselves live free.

For the rest of our lives, let's cherish the happiness of the moment and "recycle" the small blessings of life, so that life can be full of warmth and beauty.
