To be healthy, the body requires exercise; to be strong, the mind requires tempering. In life, we experience troubles, savor them, and gain insights from them. It is through these experiences that our lives become more vibrant and we are guided toward a more mature state of being.
You have come from the previous stop and are heading to the next. Standing at the turning corner, the past stretches out behind you, and the future is vague ahead. You may wonder where your old companions have gone and whether those happy or sad days of the past have faded away. How will the unknown future unfold? Dear friend, do not be melancholy. You have lost nothing; you are merely going through a turn. The centrifugal force at a turn naturally causes you to shed many old things, allowing you to be ready to accept new things as you move forward. Life has many such turns, each separating your previous station from the next. Therefore, walk through the turning corners with composure, free from regret, knowing only that the destination is still far and the road ahead is long.
