The most comfortable way of life

Ordinary is the foundation of life.

Things in the world, nine times out of ten, backfire, often making people feel helpless.

Blindly colliding with life, if you have to hit the south wall, it will only increase the pain and troubles.

People who really live a transparent life know that the most comfortable way of life in the second half of their life is "not competing".

To be open, to let go, to learn to shake hands with oneself to make peace, can you get the liberation of your heart.

not competing with the body

When we are young, we always compete with ourselves. We always think that we are in good physical condition and energetic, so we overeat, stay up late and drink alcohol, and live irregularly, as if there is no limit to health.

It was not until a sudden serious illness that I suddenly realized that no matter how thick the foundation is, there will be a day when it will be squandered.

The achievements made by overdrafting life can really not buy the health list.

Uncle Li in the community worked hard in the commercial sea when he was young, and traveled from south to north, and saved a rich family.

At the end of last year, Uncle Li was admitted to the hospital due to a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and saved his life from the gate of hell. Not long after he was discharged from the hospital, he heard the news of the death of a close friend.

Since then, he has quit all drinking and handed over most of his work to the team. Whenever he is free, he will go climbing, fishing, and self-cultivation.

Uncle Li said that when he was old, he had to bow his head to his body, and pointed to it to accompany him for more time.

Maintaining health is a lifelong career. Only a healthy body and strong energy can have a more lasting motivation to pursue the happiness you want.

The good and bad of the body have cause and effect, if you do not cherish it, it will surely punish you.

The rest of your life is very long, don't compete with your body, don't be so busy that you don't have time to sleep well, and don't let your mood suffocate.

It is a great blessing to be free from disease.

do not compete with fate

It is said that:

"A person will meet 8,263,563 people in his life, greet 39,778 people, get acquainted with 3,619 people, and get close to 275 people, but they will eventually be lost in the sea of ​​people."

We met by fate. Some people accompany us through this life, some people leave early.

Life is ushered in, and it is inevitable to gather, separate, and reunite.

Do not compete with fate, the fate is deep and gathers together, the fate is shallow with him.

There was such a story:

During dog days, the grass in the Zen courtyard was dry and yellow.

The little monk said, "Sprinkle some grass seeds! It's so ugly!"

The master waved his hand and said, "Wait until it gets cold."

In autumn, the master asked the little monk to sow seeds. As a result, the autumn wind picked up, and the grass seeds were scattered and floating.

The little monk shouted: "Not good! Many seeds have been blown away."

The master said, "It doesn't matter. Most of the blown away is empty, and if you sprinkle it, it won't sprout."

There was a shower in the middle of the night, and the little monk rushed into the meditation room in the morning: "Master! This is really over! A lot of grass seeds were washed away by the rain!"

The master said: "Wherever you go, send it where you are!"

A week later, the originally bare ground actually grew many green grass seedlings. Some corners that had not been planted before also appeared green.

The little monk clapped his hands happily.

All things in the world have their own fixed numbers. Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it.

People suffer because they can't let go, they can't ask for it.

But according to fate, don't ask about the future; flowers don't bloom without fate, and people who are destined come spontaneously.

When we say goodbye, we cherish each other; when fate is gone, we greet each other with a smile.

Do not compete with the ordinary

Liang Shuming said: "The biggest deception in this era is to regard desire as ambition."

We are raised to chase success, superficially listing the signs of success as visible houses, cars, and money.

But few people teach us how to accept failure, how to accept our ordinary. Until one day I realized:

It turns out that ninety-nine percent of the people in this world came from ordinary people and eventually returned to ordinary people.

In the movie "The Unknown", Ma Xianyong always wanted to make achievements and paid a heavy price for this obsession.

He did not hesitate to take risks and was addicted to his work, but neglected his concern for his family;

He loves to be brave. He was involved in a drunk driving accident, his wife was killed, his sister was paralyzed, and his daughter broke with him.

What he didn't understand was that the daughter just needed a father.

Later, when he understood the ordinary reconciliation with himself, his daughter returned to him.

How many people strive to pursue the extraordinary, but in the end, they will lose a lot of ordinary happiness.

I heard a sentence:

"Everything in the world is extraordinary, and in the end, it must return to the ordinary, and its value must be measured by ordinary life.

Greatness, splendor, and success are nothing. Only by truly living an ordinary life well can life be complete. "

A person's deep maturity is to accept one's ordinaryness calmly.

Ordinary is the foundation of life.

Zhou Guoping wrote in the book "Life is Not Competitive": "An important aspect of life wisdom is to distinguish what you can control."

People who live transparently know their limitations and no longer overdraw themselves.

Free and easy to admit one's own incompetence, look down on gains and losses, unhurried self-precipitation, clearly find the life you want, and move forward calmly without distractions.

Be the master of your own destiny and don't yield to it; if you can't, be the friend of your destiny and don't contend with it.
