Put it down, it's sunny.

There are a lot of troubles in life, some of them are unstoppable, and some of them are self-imposed on yourself.

There are many different kinds of worries in life, but after all, most of them are self-inflicted.

Sometimes there is no need to dwell on this obsession, which will inevitably cause problems for yourself, please be sure to put down this obsession, and have a different mindset to face it, which is a smart approach.

I once read a story about a mother and son who had two jasmine plants in their yard. Whenever the flowers opened, the whole yard was filled with the rich fragrance of jasmine, which smelled very good. But one year, when one of the jasmine plants was only half open, the leaves were already yellowing. The son was particularly sad and anxious when he saw it, and his mother reassured him, "It's okay, this is a case of peanut disease, we can rescue it, you go get a pair of scissors." The son heard his mother say to get scissors, but his heart was very reluctant, because of this jasmine plant he spent a lot of thought, spent a lot of time cultivating it, but he do not want to cut it.

The first thing you need to do is to be patient with your mother and explain to him. The reason for this is that you need to have a certain amount of nutrients to bloom, and the extra branches will also absorb a lot of nutrients, so if you don't prune it in time, it won't take long for the flower to wither due to malnutrition.

The fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. The first thing you need to do is to cut off the extra branches. It didn't take long for the jasmine plant to start blooming again.

The fact is that a lot of the time, we are like the little boy in the story, we can only see the immediate gains and losses and unknowingly lost a lot. The fact is that life is a lot like planting flowers, sometimes you need to cut off the extra branches to bloom a beautiful flower.

When you drop these obsessions that you think are important but are meaningless, you will find that proper letting go will instead make it easier to solve the problem away. It is better to let go wisely and at the right time than to cling to something meaningless.

If you want a lot of things, then the ties will also increase. It is important to let go of what you need to let go of so that the heart will let go of the pressure, and life will be more simple, and happy.

This reminds me of another story: there was an old woman who owned a candy house. One day, a rich businessman passed by the candy house, inadvertently saw the old woman's hands of tea cups and found that this is an extremely valuable antique tea cup. The rich merchant very much want to get this precious object, so offered a high price to buy this teacup. But the old woman was very shocked to hear that this was the cup she had been using to drink water, and she never thought that this seemingly ordinary cup was worth so much money. However, the teacup was indeed given to her by the old woman's grandmother and had some special meaning, so the old woman refused the rich merchant's request.

After the rich merchant left, the old woman deliberately looked at the teacup in her hand from time to time. In the past, when she drank tea, she casually put the teacup by her side and never took much care of this teacup. Now, she is always worried that she will accidentally knock on the teacup, and her whole mind is on the teacup, but she ignores the taste of the tea and forgets the scenery outside the window. What was even more troubling was that after the town heard that she had a very precious teacup, everyone came to see it. And the old woman was afraid that the teacup was stolen and did a lot of corresponding measures.

In this way, the old woman's life was completely changed. After living such a life for a long time, she could not stand this torture, so in front of many people, the teacup will be broken to pieces ......

Indeed, many worries are imposed on themselves, only to learn to let go of the obsession, will feel the world's enlightenment, and understand the life of the sprightly.

The road of life has all kinds of joy and sorrow. If you want to be calculating about every single thing, then why not choose to put it down and give yourself a release? The fact is that you'll be able to get a good deal on your own.

This is how life is, you need to let go of some things to get a new harvest.

May we all, in the future, can learn to let go and harvest more happiness and joy!
