Finding your life’s mission and listening to your inner voice is far more important than the opinions and expectations of others. Return to your inner self, understand who you are, listen to your needs, and become the person you truly wish to be. To live is to become the master of oneself. — The Buddhist Wisdom on Being Human
Life is like a field: what you sow is what you reap, a cycle of karma from which none can escape. Life is also like a stage, full of alternating joy and sorrow, from which none can withdraw. Pain helps you understand yourself and see others more clearly. Failure teaches you to stand up and dust yourself off—few will truly care how many times you have fallen. Success allows you to raise a glass in gratitude and reflect on how many people you have helped, which is true greatness. After experiencing life, clarity comes, and the heart becomes calm.
Life is like a door: when one closes, another window opens. Losing something means gaining something elsewhere. The key is to remain optimistic and believe in the balance of gain and loss. Learn to let go and face loss properly, because loss often marks a new beginning. Great letting go brings great gain; small letting go brings small gain; without letting go, there is no gain.
Be a simple person—calm and determined. Every effort you make today becomes silent accumulation, paving the way for a better you. Do not deceive others, for those who are deceived are often those who trust you. There is nothing truly impossible to overcome, only emotions that cannot be overcome. Change your mindset, and the world will change completely.
When he no longer loves you, you turn away in tears and run, looking back as you go, hoping he is still there. You wish he were watching, and all your running feels like it is for him. But as you keep running, you move farther away. Eventually, you stop crying and stop loving. You are no longer running for him—you are running for yourself. Every heartbreak and every tearful run makes you stronger. When you become strong, you will meet someone stronger; when you become better, you deserve better.
If your finger is dirty, there is no need to cut it off; if a hat is too small, there is no need to cut off your head; to check whether an egg has gone bad, there is no need to eat the whole thing.
