If someone asks me: What do you think is the most important thing you have lived until now?
I still need to think about it before answering, but now I will answer without hesitation:
Life is like an investment product, with an average regression. The mean value of
is the deepest impulse in your heart, the most original appearance you are, and the most want to be in your heart. No matter what we encounter or experience, we will eventually return in this direction.
In a society where economic freedom is getting higher and higher, the concrete threshold is increasingly hindering a person's development. What exactly determines the way you are going?
Think about the people around you: What exactly is it that makes some people who look particularly outstanding in their students, but later become particularly ordinary people? And then those who were ordinary when they were young later made unexpected achievements.
is actually two words: Real self.
However, the "true self" is suppressed. When we were born, we were all fooled by God, or were given a closed injection, and tied the "true self" firmly.
Plus, after we arrive in society, we are always driven to walk, live in the eyes of others, live in the secular framework, and live in the standards set by society, so we are getting further and further away from the "true self".
And if a person can awaken the deep "true self" in his heart, he will definitely become a very outstanding person.
The true self includes two parts, one is talent and the other is mission.
The so-called "talent" means that there is always one thing that you can do better than others when you are born. You don't need to practice more or think about anything. You can be better than others in this regard.
The so-called "mission" is that there is one thing that you want to do when you are born, and you want to do it in your soul and dreams. Even if no one gives you money, you still want to do it.
What defines your final destination must be the "true self" that combines talent and mission.
Even if you graduate with excellent grades and get a high salary and high pressure job, if that job is not what you want to do the most, sooner or later you will leave the job because of boredom and pressure;
Even if you are studying science and engineering, if you love creation the most, sooner or later, you will use your spare time to create and give up your original job because you do well.
This is the return of the true self.
Unfortunately, most Chinese people cannot get this reminder from schools, teachers, and parents: the most important thing in life is to know themselves.
Who am I? What is my personality? What is my talent?
We are all cultivated as standard parts. Our hobbies, specialties, talents, and personality are polished little by little, and then they are swept into the big machine of society and shattered...
And everything happens in society seems to be designed to crush our personality. If you want to grow according to the standards of society, you must ignore your own characteristics.
In fact, many Chinese people have struggled all their lives to hope to escape from this sense of oppression. Of course, the few will always succeed in the end, and most of them are victims.
How to find the true self? Two words : Introspective , introspective.
learned to be visceral and be aware of yourself at all times, and learned to be self-reflective and correct yourself at all times.These two actions help us reach our true self. Let us clearly see our obstacles, become the best self, and reach our other shore.
The so-called enlightenment of the mind and seeing the nature, becoming a Buddha. A person’s life is to brighten his inner eyes and constantly see his truest self.
All passers-by and experiences are to help us find ourselves, find our mission, find our talents, and find our own home, collectively called finding our "true self".
The ultimate mission of life is to be yourself. Before becoming yourself, there seem to be countless choices and possibilities, but they are just tricks to test your mind.
When you truly understand your mission, they disappear immediately.
All things happening are to guide us to know ourselves.
The sooner a person knows who he is, the sooner he lives out his value and meaning.
People's lives are looking for themselves.
The longest road in the world is to find your own way.
The most rare thing in life is "sober in the world"
The master is profound and relaxed, the mediocre people are superficial and painful!
