A Peaceful and Unruffled Mind, Reflecting the Natural Order of All Things
When rejoicing, learn to remind yourself not to be intoxicated by victory; when failing, learn to regulate yourself not to let decadence erode your spirit; when wealthy, learn to protect yourself not to let wealth become a burden; when impoverished, learn to be resilient not to let your final days become your dead end; when in pain, learn to comfort yourself not to let sadness crush your body and mind.
Life, being alive, is a mindset. The weight of life may be just a grain of dust, so small that it can be forgotten and buried. In the world of life and death, we are all fleeting moments. One second of life, one instant – this may be the true essence of life. The happiest thing in life should be knowing that you are still alive.
There is no life that can exist without worries about life. Perhaps it is because life has its disappointments, therefore it is more worthy of our expectations, it allows us to expect the life we want, letting us live with hope.
When your heart is calm, you can hear your inner voice; when your mind is clear, you can see the true nature of all things. What you don't let go of is often not worth cherishing; what you desperately chase is not what life needs. Life's steps are often too hurried, so we must learn to stop, laugh at the clouds, sit down and appreciate the flowers blooming, sink down and be calm like the sea, and settle down to quietly observe the self. A serene and undisturbed state of mind reflects all things; when the heart is completely still, it becomes eternal in an instant.
