Confucius said: Fifty and know the Destiny of Heaven.
Life is a process of continuous self-knowledge, knowing others is wise, and self-knowledge is clear.
The first half of life is a process of constantly trying to live, seeking breakthroughs, accumulating, and striving to achieve themselves;
In the second half of life, we must summarize our own successes and failures, redefine ourselves, start another life, and make our lives more valuable and meaningful.
Although people have passed fifty, although life has grown old, but our minds are the most mature age, have rich life experience, and have a clear understanding of themselves, life is new day by day, and new day by day, as long as there is an ageless mentality, we will live out the life we want.
The famous writer Mu Xin once said: "After I was fifty years old, I learned the taste of being a human being. ”
Life does not have to be tall, but it must have its own pursuit and heart direction, adhere to what you should insist on, and constantly surpass yourself, life can go to a higher level, people over fifty, do these four things well, and improve the pattern and realm of life.
01
Streamline your life and reduce unnecessary consumption.
I know that there is a question: Why do people feel tired?
There is a high praise of the answer, pointed out to the point: most of the exhaustion in life comes from interpersonal relationships, starting a relationship, maintaining a relationship, ending a relationship, human exchanges, are all consumption.
When we were young, we all believed: one more friend and one more road, more friends are better at things, in order to maintain feelings, always take out their own time and money, eat and drink with friends, sometimes for the sake of affection, even force themselves, smile at friends.
But the experience of life tells us that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests; some friends are destined to be passers-by in your life, and without interests tied together, they will gradually drift away from you, and even cross rivers and tear down bridges, ruthless and unjust.
There are wine and meat friends, suffering and seeing one person; there are many people who can't go into your heart, but they block your world and consume too much of your time and energy.
Sometimes, in order to maintain a relationship, people are not only exhausted, but even undesirable and tired; all relationships that make you feel uncomfortable are actually a burden and internal friction of the soul.
People over fifty, learn to streamline their lives, clean up their circle of friends, reduce the frequent exchange of interpersonal relationships, stay away from the wine bureau, and leave time for themselves and their families.
Keep your time to yourself, in order to make achievements and achieve yourself.
Leave time for your family to have real care and affection.
02
Continuous learning and self-improvement ability.
Learning is a lifelong thing, people who live until they are old and learn old can constantly enrich themselves and enrich themselves, a person with rich knowledge and mastering multiple skills will have his own way of survival wherever he goes.
People over fifty, with the increase of age, whether at work or in life, you will lose the advantage of competition, compared with young people, whether it is energy and physical strength or knowledge and education, will be far apart, if you do not know how to learn, it is not far from elimination.
There is only one way to invest in this world, that is, to read and learn; many people use the excuse of being older to stop reading and studying, which is just an excuse for their own lack of self-improvement, and many people know that they have no strengths, but they are not willing to calm down and read a book or learn a new skill.
People have no far-reaching worries, no one knows which one comes first tomorrow and accidents, the skills are not pressed, the opportunities are left to those who are prepared, the more knowledge and talents they have, the more they will deal with life and tomorrow's accidents.
People who are over fifty and are still good at learning see a broader world, life will still have infinite possibilities, and the pattern of life will be more extensive.
03
Keep exercising, a healthy body is the most important.
There is a saying: Fifty is not healthy, and when you are old, you must raise a doctor.
When people reach the age of fifty, it is a watershed between disease and health; the physiological functions of the body will feel a significant decline, at this time, we must know how to maintain health, maintain the health of the body, and then there will be happiness and well-being in the second half of life.
What is the most important thing in a person's life? A healthy body is paramount.
When I was young, in order to work, for my career, in order to support my family, it seemed that every day I was desperate, I had too much to do with my body, and I also buried hidden dangers for my health, many people have passed the age of fifty, and all kinds of physical problems have come.
The "I Ching" says: Tianxingjian, a gentleman who strives for self-improvement. Life lies in exercise, if you want to be healthy, you must let yourself move, learn to exercise yourself, and let your body return to health.
When a person passes fifty, he will not take his life to exchange for money, no matter how much money is earned, if you lose your health, it is an inverted thing, and in the end you will not only lose money, but also lose eternal happiness.
People over fifty, do not disobey the old, do not fight with young people to fight energy and physical strength, and do not stay up late or even all night like when they were young, that is a permanent harm to life and irresponsibility to themselves.
The "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" says: Diet is moderate, living is constant, and there is no vain work, so it can be shaped and divine.
After the age of fifty, you have to live a regular life, combine work and leisure, cultivate your own spirit, and be able to maintain your health, and you will have the blessing of the second half of your life.
04
Cultivate yourself and improve yourself.
One day's gain and loss depends on the dusk, and a lifetime of failure looks at the evening festival.
The older a person is, the more he must cherish his feathers, adhere to the principles and bottom line of being a person, do not do things that are immoral, and be said by others to be "bad people get old", he will erase all the good deeds and virtues of his life.
In the "Cai Gen Tan", it is written: "Pi is rich and I am benevolent, Pi Jue is righteous, and a gentleman is not imprisoned by the king." ”
Compared with money and power, benevolence and morality are more worthy of respect and respect by others, "the poor are good at themselves, and the good is good for the world", a person can not be rich, but can not be without the principles and moral ethics of being a man, this is what a gentleman does.
After the age of fifty, we must advocate "vegetarian" and "simple", live a simple life, and clean up the soul, so that life can be sublimated and life will be noble.
After the age of fifty, we must get rid of the shackles of material desires, reduce the desires of the soul, learn to be content and happy, be able to look down on everything, and live a life of enlightenment, which is the sublimation of the mind, and the improvement is one's own thoughts and realms.
People over fifty, is the most mature thinking, the most intelligent age, "a gentleman does something and does not do", actively strive to be good, adhere to the positive energy of life, will enhance the pattern of life and ideological realm.
