Encounter the most beautiful scenery; as long as there is unyielding spirit, no journey has truly reached its end. Some things are done without being spoken of—that is the sign of growing maturity. No matter what you lose, never lose your inner peace; life has its ebbs and flows.
In fact, the best days are simply when you are being playful and they are smiling—a warmth that lasts a lifetime. It is only through loss that we realize preciousness, and only through possession that we realize scarcity. Do not flip through the pages of the past if you don't have to; dust from old pages may cloud your eyes and blur the truth. Obsession is a burden, even a torment; too much calculation becomes a shackle.
To use an analogy: if you were poor, you might fly into a rage when insulted; but if you were a billionaire, you would simply laugh it off. You only react when you share the same frequency or magnetic field. The reason others' words can ignite you instantly is that you happen to be the "fuel." When emotions are swayed by external circumstances, it is because there is something flammable within our hearts.
To avoid hurting others, the prerequisite is to hold no expectations of them; simultaneously, do not let others hold expectations of you. The latter is more difficult, as it means you must show your true stance at certain moments, without any selfish concealment or affectation. Upon reflection, many of life's difficulties and failures are merely discordant notes in the song of the years.
In this world, everything is like passing clouds. Whether gain or loss, it all passes. Think about it: regardless of yesterday, today, or tomorrow, being able to attain mental clarity makes it a beautiful day. The best way to live is to avoid overthinking; as you experience events and meet people, you are both choosing and being chosen. Life is short; do not leave regrets. Love when you should, and do not suppress yourself needlessly.
The reason for exhaustion is often wavering between persistence and giving up; the reason for confusion is a tendency toward negativity; the reason for unhappiness is not having too little, but desiring too much; and the reason for pain is having too good a memory, holding onto both what should and should not be remembered. In short, human troubles stem from: being unable to let go, being unable to think clearly, being unable to see through, and being unable to forget.
Regardless of whether this is absolutely true, if you face any hardship or misfortune with this mindset, you will certainly overcome more obstacles and gain the ability to master your own destiny.
The essence of life is pursuit, its philosophy is happiness, its attitude is positivity, its environment is harmony, its way is freedom, its purpose is value, and its standard is happiness.
Habits form nature, nature forms rules, rules form patterns, and patterns form life.
The beginning of success is belief, and the end of success is perseverance.
Don't be overly sentimental; life will not smile upon you just because you are young.
