Some time ago, I discussed the child's growth with my family, and found that suddenly the child was enlightened, and he did not need to work hard to supervise the study, but was self-driven. For a long time, we have been doing one thing with our children, every time we encounter a problem, or participate in a competition, school exam, regardless of success or failure, we will do a review, first reflect on ourselves, and then discuss with the whole family, the focus is to sum up the experience and find the key to the problem...... In this way, over time, it seems that the child has begun to awaken in terms of learning.
In the journey of life, we are often faced with alternating good times and bad times. Sometimes, we are like a fish in water in good times, living comfortably and contently; Sometimes, adversity is like a sharp blade, making us feel the ruthlessness of life. Some people say that it's too smooth, and it's not a good thing. We must be vigilant in good times and seize opportunities for growth in adversity. A few years ago, a company invested in a company that developed rapidly after the investment, and even reached a shocking level of single-day revenue, at that time, a senior investor said that such a smooth thing is not necessarily a good thing, and sure enough, a few months later, a policy caused the business to stagnate and fall off a cliff. In the face of the ups and downs of life or business, introspection and awakening are particularly important, only through self-reflection and awakening, we can continue to grow, and eventually move towards a more independent and fulfilling life. 01 Reflect on yourself: find your inner direction
Self-reflection is the first step in a person's growth. Whether in life, work or relationships, introspection allows us to discover our own shortcomings and flaws. As the old saying goes, "No one is perfect, no gold is perfect." "We can't be perfect, but we can learn about our limitations through introspection and try to improve. When we begin to reflect on our lives, we find many problems. For example, why do we always fail at something? Why do we always get into the same predicament? By thinking deeply, we can get to the root of the problem and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. Wang Yangming once said: "If you learn to be against yourself, if you blame others in vain, you will only see that others are not, and you will not see yourself wrong." "It is only through self-reflection that we can truly recognize our shortcomings and mistakes, and then continue to improve ourselves. Introspection is not only a way of thinking, but also a habit of life. Developing the habit of introspection can help us grow in constant thinking. Many years ago, I went to visit a successful person (a former colleague) who had grown by leaps and bounds over the years, and I asked him how he did it over lunch. He said that every night set aside 30 minutes to reflect, think about the day's work, or a hot event, and think about what you would do if it were you? Since then, I have been practicing and telling everyone on different occasions that it is really useful to reflect on yourself. Taking a little time every night to summarize our performance for the day and record our successes and failures will make us more mature in our future lives. In three months or half a year, you will find a metamorphosis of yourself.
02 Awakening the self: break through the shackles of inertial thinking
Introspection is important, but it is not enough to stay at the level of introspection. We also need to be able to "wake up" ourselves and push ourselves out of our comfort zone. Many people are so accustomed to relying on past experiences or so used to the current state of life that they tend to back down when faced with challenges. Lu Yao once said: "It is very difficult to wake yourself up. "People tend to be drunk in comfort and lack the motivation to aim higher. In order to break through this habitual thinking, we first need to clarify our goals and constantly challenge ourselves. It's like playing a game, setting levels and allowing yourself to grow through difficulties. Many successful people have achieved success through continuous self-challenge, they are willing to accept new things, adapt to change, and strive to surpass themselves. Remember: "The gentleman asks for himself, and the villain asks for others." "Only by relying on your own strength can you achieve true growth. In addition, we can also use external forces to awaken ourselves. Try attending some training, learning new skills, or networking with like-minded people. In interacting with others, we not only gain new ways of thinking, but we also bring out our inner potential and push ourselves forward. In recent years, many entrepreneurs have joined the Creek Species Growth Camp, and one of the common phrases they hear is that it would be nice if they could join earlier. Many people ignited and inspired their entrepreneurial dreams here, and many people shattered their inherent cognition and began to awaken here. 03 Let go of the past: live in the present and embrace the future
Letting go of past obsessions is an important topic in life. In life, we will always encounter some things that cannot be changed, whether it is a lost relationship, or an unfulfilled goal, which will become a burden on our hearts. How to let go of these burdens and let yourself travel lightly is a challenge that everyone needs to face. It is mentioned in the Four Precepts of Lifan: "In the past, all kinds of things were like yesterday's death; From the latter, such as today, to be born. "For some entrepreneurs, one of the things I often say in the Creek Species class is "Don't fall in love with war"! In the start-up stage, we must quickly try and make mistakes and iterate quickly, instead of being all in at every turn, or even stuck in it and unable to extricate ourselves, we must learn to fail quickly, fail at low cost, fail early, and know how to let go before we can start again. The past is history, and we cannot afford to be held back by the pain of the past. A truly brave person is one who is able to accept everything in life, even pain, and learn and grow from it. Instead of being haunted by the shadows of the past, they will focus on the present and strive to create the future. Learning to let go is actually learning to cherish the life of the moment. As Mr. Ji Xianlin said: "If you want to open up your life in the world, if you can't 'forget', then the pain will always be fresh and vivid." "We might as well remind ourselves from time to time that every day of life is new, and there is no today after today. Therefore, cherish the people and things in front of you, and don't let yourself fall into unnecessary comparisons and anxieties. 04 Continuous growth: Perseverance and self-cultivation
Introspection, awakening, and letting go are a gradual process, but they don't happen overnight. It requires us to constantly practice and constantly adjust our mindset in every day of our lives. Only with perseverance can we truly achieve self-growth. In this process, we need to learn to be self-motivated, set reasonable goals, and work hard for them. Try creating an annual, quarterly, or monthly plan that clarifies your goals and steps. In the process of achieving the goal, summarize the experience in time, adjust the strategy, and constantly improve yourself. Life is a process of continuous learning and growth. We can't change the past, but we can shape the future through introspection, awakening, and letting go. Only in this way can we walk more firmly and calmly in the journey of life. Only by learning to self-reflect and maintain a state of awakening can we truly achieve spiritual freedom and move towards a more fulfilling and happy life. Life is like a dream, reflection is the key to sobriety, awakening is the driving force for growth, and letting go is the power to move towards the future. Let us cherish every opportunity for introspection, bravely face every awakening, learn to let go of the past, and welcome a better tomorrow. Only in this way can we see the rainbow-like future after the storm.
Wish, better and better.
