Suffering is a lifelong practice, a baptism of fate, a person growing in suffering, a kind of awakening after continuous refinement, a kind of strength, a kind of bravery, and a breakthrough in the ability to transform themselves.

Only those who have experienced boundless suffering can climb to the heights of life can live more transparently and can see life in one suffering after another.

The destiny of a person is like a flower seed, the direction of the wind is the home, seemingly free, but in fact, it is not in their own hands, were to fall, it will be what kind of fate.

A flower seed may fall into a courtyard carefully maintained by the owner of the flower garden, or float to the deep forest by the sun and rain to grow naturally, or fall into the ten thousand feet of rocky cliffs, in the crevice to survive.

Because of the different circumstances, will create a different fate for the flower seeds, and after the erosion of the years and the baptism of time, the flower seeds also show a very different fate.

You will find that the piece of good fortune at the beginning, by the owner of the care of the flower, grows well, delicate and delightful.

However, over time, accustomed to the comfort, accustomed to the care of the master, rely on the master to survive, when one day away from the shelter of the master, will gradually wither, lost the color of life, and even life.

The other flower seeds, although born on the cliff, but not afraid of the harsh growth environment, and by the clamping and oppression, a little growth, a little stretching, a little thriving, through the hardships, and finally open up stunningly beautiful flowers. And deep roots and leaves, long-lasting, in the stone cracks rooted in thousands of generations forever.

Therefore, living comfortably is not a good thing, it may make us develop the habit of relying on others, lose the basic ability to survive, and become decadent and unambitious.

As a normal person, living too comfortably is often undesirable.

Life is changeable, maybe you are in a brilliant and soaring high, sought after; maybe you fall into the low to the darkest moment, trampled by others. The important thing is not to be afraid of hardship, pick up the pieces in a difficult situation, get out of the hardship, and usher in happiness.

This life, the road is long and winding, life is not secure to say, happy life, can not be a lifetime, may also be a moment.

Similarly, the suffering of life may be suffering for a while, but not for life.

Some people are accustomed to a privileged life, it is difficult to achieve great things, the reason is a lack of social experience, is no ambitious goals short-sighted, not deeply involved in the world superficial, but also the lack of the spirit of suffering and resistance to stress, a little setback will make it retreat, can not bear the weight of life, a matter will easily give up, no persistence and perseverance.

Therefore, comfortable life does not make us strong, but suffering can make us discover our potential energy, polish our hearts and create infinite possibilities in life.

Maybe after hard work, you live a life you never thought of before.

03.

Some people are born poor, but we can't choose our origins, but we can choose what kind of life we live, what kind of life path we take, whether we are mediocre and do nothing, or work hard and make a big difference, everything is in our own heart and mind.

Dong Qing said: "In each of us on the road to growth, we encountered setbacks, failures, blows, challenges, and is not a gift? Sharpen our minds and complete our personalities."

Yes, living in this world, everyone will encounter different degrees of suffering, no one can live this life smoothly.

Throughout the ages, all those who have achieved are those who have gone through countless sufferings and have come out of confusion and hardship step by step to achieve success and fame.

For the suffering of life, some people shallowly think that suffering is the injustice of fate, but some people interpret the nature of suffering from another perspective, perhaps only those who have experienced suffering know more about the true meaning of life and the meaning of life.

Perhaps a smooth life is what everyone aspires to, but a calm, unchallenging, uneventful life is like a pool of stagnant water, without the vitality of life, not to mention wonderful.

Some people have been subjected to the hardships of life since childhood, but such people are often the ones who live the most abundantly.

04.

Life is a long and winding road, if fate is not good, do not be discouraged, work hard, against the current, and walk through the bumps, the rainbow can be seen after the storm.

When you break the shackles of fate, your life will be on a high level, your mind, and your life trajectory will change, you interact with people, your circle will be on a level, and your life will take a qualitative leap.

You are no longer limited to the original way of life, your mind will be transformed, your mental outlook will be new, and you are no longer the original self, you will be a new self.

Life is a symphony, interwoven with the bittersweetness and sorrow of life.

And the most beautiful music can be chimed out, must be after a thousand times the collision of fingers and strings, the perfect fusion of mind and music, to play the heart of the classic heirloom song.

Life is one stop after another to run, one burden after another, but also a spiritual journey of practice.

Do not be afraid of hardships, many difficulties can also practice true knowledge, sharpen the strong will, wise and contribute to talent.
