Human growth begins with self-awakening

The growth of life begins with self-awakening; the progress of life lies in self-change.

This is so true. A person's life, only a few decades, may seem long but short. In the long river of history, these short decades flash by like a frame in a movie, accounting for less than three seconds.

If you divide a person's life into details and calculate it based on a life span of 80 years, then the time that belongs to you is only 29,200 days and nights. The average person's life for the first 10 years before birth is basically in a state of ignorance. Everything is spent in ignorance and unconsciousness. There are no profound thoughts, no lofty goals, and even ignorance of one's own inner world. , of course it is impossible to take the initiative to go your own way.

During this period of youth, we are basically in a state of passive acceptance. We still need to be protected and guided. It feels like it is too early to talk about life at this time. Thinking back now, how we spent our time before we were ten years old, we probably seldom did anything meaningful.

In the last ten years of life, I basically feel that I am unable to do many things. Everything has become a thing of the past, and both the things I want to do and the unfulfilled wishes have become so out of reach.

In the intervening sixty years, if you are in good health and just go to school, you will basically be in your 20s. Counting on the fingers, the next working time will be 30 years at most. In the past 30 years, apart from eating, sleeping, work and entertainment, I have left very little time for myself.

Someone has already calculated this account clearly. Time is so stingy and ruthless in front of everyone. Looking back suddenly, life is like a dream. When I wake up from the dream, I don’t know what day it is.

I have grown up memorizing the classic lines from "How Steel Was Tempered" since I was a child. When a person looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor be ashamed of being inactive; How should one spend one's life? These two seemingly simple sentences are difficult to do. Ask yourself, how many good years have been wasted.

When a person's heart is not awakened, he may be in a state of doing nothing all day long and feeling good about himself without knowing it. Only when you wake up can you change, and only when you change can you make progress.

I feel that my life was like this in the first half of my life. I cared too much about other people's opinions, got too caught up in worldly triviality, had too much anxiety and entanglement about the future, and was too worried and hesitant about the current situation. Worrying about gain and loss, the heart of sadness and joy rises and falls.

Don’t be happy with things, don’t be sad with yourself. Watch the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court, and watch the clouds rolling in the sky. Slowly begin to appreciate your own feelings, no longer care about the eyes of others, and no longer live in the eyes of others. Instead, focus more on your own heart and find things you like.

What do people pursue in this life? It is inner stability and calmness, inner fullness and fullness, inner recognition of oneself, and inner satisfaction. When you feel confident and have a full feeling in your heart, you have become your true self.

No matter where you are, no matter what your pursuit is, you must stick to your original intention at all times, strive to be down-to-earth, and perform your duties persistently and conscientiously. Live for yourself. Only when you live clearly and wonderfully can you be able to take care of your relatives and friends around you.
