There is a ballet company in New York, and a veteran reporter once interviewed the lead female ballet star of the company. When asked by a reporter what is your favorite food, the beautiful dancer excitedly replied: "Ice cream!" The reporter was very surprised by this answer, because the sweet food of ice cream contains high calories, and eating too much will stimulate weight gain, which is the most fatal blow for dancers! So the reporter asked again: "So how often do you let yourself indulge once in a while?" The female dancer replied, "I haven't tasted that in at least 18 years!"
A soul that lacks restraint is empty and wandering, just like a soul that has lost its homeland, a tree that has lost its roots, a river that has lost its source, can only fall, can only wither, can only dry up...
In a person's life, there are always many unpredictable things to experience, but to hold the last line of defense, be pure in heart, and not be a betrayer of the soul, this is what we should learn and stick to.
Resist the temptation with a normal heart, let yourself have time to think about life, plan your life, and let yourself get a peace of mind!
"Walk to the bottom of the water and sit and watch the clouds rise." Life needs a quiet heart, an indifferent transcendence, a calm and calm.
Calm, that is, the sum of soothing, peaceful, simple, calm, generous, and idyllic. Calmness is a kind of strength, not indifference or anger. It can make people look at life from a higher perspective, without being fooled by life and not being entangled in the world. From ancient times to the present. For too many people, this is a rare realm and temperament. People who are calm do not hurry or slow, do not rush, do not rush, do not rush, are orderly, and do not feel angry, not frightened, not violent, not abandoned in the face of various changes in the external environment. Despite setbacks without despair, though successful without ecstasy.
Circumstances are born of the heart, and fate is in their own hands. There is nothing to lose by looking at things with an optimistic and positive attitude. When the environment can't be changed, it's better to change your eyes to look at it, adapt to it, and then benefit from it. There are too many unpredictable factors in life, and if everything is calculated, the emotions are inevitably full of joy and sorrow, and the ups and downs are uncertain.
There are unpredictable storms in the sky, and people have bad luck and bad luck. The transformation of blessings and misfortunes is like the vagaries of this storm, so whether it is a blessing or a calamity, as long as you maintain the peace of mind and treat everything calmly, then whether it is a blessing or a disaster, how can it destroy the calmness of your heart?
Lao Tzu said, "Woe is where blessings depend; blessings lie where misfortunes lie." "In the midst of calamities, happiness is not necessarily hidden, and in happiness, it is inevitable that the root cause of calamity is implied. Things in the world are always mixed, and things of good fortune and misfortune are always transformed into each other, and if we can recognize this early, then the worries may no longer disturb the body and mind, so that we are more likely to face life calmly.
A poem says it well: "The twilight sky looks strong and loose, and the chaotic clouds are still calm." "The calmness of the chaotic clouds flying under the jinsong is admirable and praised. If you want to live without being captured by impetuosity, you must learn to be calm. Only calmly can we create a quiet life, have the stability of sitting in peace, and have the momentum of huge energy bursting at key moments.
