As we grow up, when we look back in a daze, we see ourselves when we were, perhaps we were shining in the past but now we are ordinary; accept it calmly and savor it carefully, and you will eventually realize the wonderful meaning.

In the process of growing up, when we look back in a trance, we see ourselves in the past. Perhaps we were shining in the past but now it is ordinary; or perhaps our past is as plain as water but now it is colorful. No matter how changes are, we should take it as joy but not as worrying. Accept it calmly and savor it carefully, and you will eventually realize the wonderful meaning.

When we look back suddenly, we realize that we are different from the boy we were in the past. We may panic, lose, be happy, and be proud. The former has no intention to change but has changed unconsciously, while the latter has the intention to change himself and will eventually succeed and be full of joy. If we were the latter, it would be delighted. If we are the former, how should we deal with ourselves? Before we knew it, we found that we were no longer the boy we were, and we were confused about our changes. Just like looking in a mirror, we can clearly see ourselves at the beginning, but over time, the mirror is covered with dust, and we can't see ourselves clearly. This confusion is like losing direction in the fog, suddenly losing positioning oneself, and the belief in the heart begins to shake and you will not be able to find your own direction. Such changes are silent, just like we are walking alone at night. At first, the moon is white and the wind is clear, but I don’t know when the moon has been covered by dark clouds and the stars are gone. We were panicked but powerless.

When we finally realize our changes but feel deeply confused, the first thing we have to do is to accept our changes. Accepting our own changes is like we wipe the dusty mirror clean and see our own process again. Accepting our own changes means that we begin to know ourselves again, understand ourselves, and accept ourselves, which means that we have made progress again. It also means that we have gradually gained a position on ourselves, understand what kind of person we want to become, and how we should work hard to become what we want. We no longer panic, face life calmly, and work harder, and the flower of luck that belongs to us will eventually bloom.

The era we are in is the best era, it gives people many opportunities; this is also the worst era, its information is fragmented and there are many temptations. In such an environment, we may go against ourselves, but no matter what we become, acceptance is always the first step to start over. Only by wiping the mirror clean first can we recognize ourselves and have the opportunity to make ourselves better. Accept your own changes, accept your all, learn to reconcile with yourself, and slowly become what you want.
