In this era of extreme complexity, everyone is suffering, and everyone is Live in a fast paced life.
Fast pace, is it a good thing or a bad thing? It’s definitely a good thing for the development of the city. And for personal life, it’s not a good thing.
Life requires moderation, not a pointless fast pace. Moreover, once you live more and more fast-paced, I believe you will live like a “walking dead”.
We only need to look at the living conditions of modern people to understand.
Young people are getting more impatient as they live. You have to press the fast-forward button to watch a show. How can the quality of life be so high?
Middle-aged people are getting more anxious as they live. They can’t sleep every night. . What’s the point of living like this?
Older people worry more and more as they live. They are not only afraid that their children will not be filial, but they are also afraid that there will be problems with their health, and they are even more afraid that they will not have enough money. Are you really happy at such an old age?
Although it is said that modern people are rich in material things, the more they live, the less happy they are. The root cause is that there is a problem with the “heart”, too fast, and do not know how to “quiet”.
Perhaps, the essence of a high-quality life is “quietness”.

Lao Tzu wrote in Tao Te Ching Said: “Quiet beats impatience, cold beats heat. Quietness is the world’s righteousness.”
A person can be suppressed only when he has calmness. Stop the restlessness in your heart; only by calming your heart can you drive out meaningless blind enthusiasm. Perhaps, the state of tranquility is the right way in the world.
Qing and Jing are always twins.
A glass of dirty water, as long as you put it on the table and let it settle, trusting that the dirt in the water will sink to the bottom of the cup. Finally, the water above is clean.
On the contrary, if you always shake this glass of water, the dirt in it will just keep floating, There will never be a day when it sinks to the bottom of the cup. In the end, the water is still sewage, nothing has changed.
Why is the gap so big?
Actually, we need to adopt different methods to deal with different life, and we must not generalize. When it comes to work, we can be appropriately enthusiastic. As for life, we need to calm down and live a good life.
When we were young, we always thought that the “restless” days were the best, and we despised the quiet life at all. No way, we can only suffer.
As we get older, we will fully understand that the restlessness and disobedience of the past are ultimately unfortunate the root of . Only by combining movement and stillness, allowing the heart to calm down slowly, will the happiness of life arise spontaneously.

Modern people, if they want to live a happy life, how do they do it? Do these two things quietly.
First of all, cultivate your inner self, improve your personal self-cultivation and ideological pattern.
I like a sentence in “The Grand Master”: “See yourself, see the world, see all beings.”
Seeing yourself is to know what you need, not to follow others blindly. Seeing the world is to better define one’s own position, not to be too selfish, and not to regard oneself as the center of the world.
The greatest skill should be “seeing all beings”. All living beings are suffering and cannot feel happiness at all. In this way, we should learn from experience, let tranquility become our life criterion, and stop being blind all the time.
It is his skill and luck that he can make a lot of money. We should not envy others, nor force ourselves too much. Do your best, and you can be at ease.
Cultivation of the mind is a lifelong pursuit of a person.
Secondly, stay down-to-earth, look to the future, and live the rest of your life down-to-earth.
I’m sure we’ve all heard the word “down to earth”. In fact, many people don’t know how to be down-to-earth, and feel that doing this will not be a big deal or make a lot of money.
Extreme thoughts like this will only harm you. We just need to understand a little bit.We are just ordinary people. There is no need to force too much.
To be pretentious and only end up with the result that “life is thinner than paper”. The catastrophe is not given to you by others, but given to you by yourself.

If the heart is peaceful, God will bless it.
A senior told us a story.
When he came out to work hard when he was young, he always had a calm heart and felt that he would do his best to do things, and there was no need to worry about it. Realistic desires and fantasies.
However, one of his brothers from the same village thinks that he wants to make a lot of money. What to do first, what to do next.
After many years, this old man has achieved something, step by step To be successful, to win his own fame and career.
On the other hand, his brother from the same village, whose heart is higher than the sky, ended up being “insanity”. Nowadays, he can only walk around the village foolishly, neither married nor children, and can only worry his parents in his seventies.
It’s the same sentence, If people are calm, step by step, achievement is only a matter of time. And people are impatient, and after all, their hearts are higher than the sky, their lives are thinner than paper, it is difficult to achieve things, and they even lose their lives.
Don’t look at others who can earn 100,000 a month, we just need to cherish our own life with a monthly income of over 10,000.
Don’t look at others who can earn more than 10,000 a month, we just need to cherish our safe and secure days.
In life, there is no need to compare too much. As long as you can recognize yourself, go with the flow, be calm and healthy, that happiness will come unexpectedly at some point in the future.
