Life requires continuous climbing of the peak, constantly improving oneself, improving one's mind and nature, and slowly reaching the state of perfection through the cultivation of blessings and wisdom. At this point, we should not pause or be content.
This is completely different from constantly satisfying one's own greed. If you are too greedy, you will fall into the abyss and enter the completely opposite situation. If you have the following four characteristics, it means that you have entered a very high state of wisdom.
First, life is fulfilling, ideals and goals. The reason why there is a huge gap between people is that the difference in words and deeds caused by different ways of thinking, and eventually different results are produced.
If anyone wants to change his destiny, he must first set a goal for himself and be targeted. Then he will work hard for it every day and live a fulfilling life. Not only will he not feel tired, but he will also enjoy it and become very enjoyable. Because your goals are meaningful and valuable.
On the contrary, for people who have no goals and no pursuits, their lives are equivalent to being completely wasted and meaningless.
Second, know how to live in the present and not be attached to the past and the future. We will never be able to change the past, and we cannot predict what the future will become. Even if we have put in enough effort, the final result may still be unsatisfactory, but what does it matter?
Because during the entire struggle, we have already got what we want, and it has even been greatly unexpected. Therefore, focusing your thoughts on the present, working hard for future ideals, constantly making contributions, and living in every moment of the present is the best state of life.
Third, don’t care about gains and losses, just care about whether self-cultivation and moral cultivation are complete. A truly enlightened person definitely does not aim at getting much benefit. What he cares more about is whether his character is complete and whether his self-cultivation is perfect, because these are the key cornerstones for a person to truly achieve growth.
Once the virtue is perfected, the so-called fame and fortune will naturally follow, and you cannot refuse it if you want to. Because these are just accessories, and they will change impermanently, and there is no need to be attached to them at all.
4, you can keep your own mind without being influenced by external environment. A truly powerful person does not rely on how much wealth and status he has outside, but whether he has a strong heart. If you can take gains and losses lightly, not be happy with things or sad with yourself, and deal with them calmly and freely, your realm has risen to a higher level.
