When life is in a mess, don't blame others or feel sad. Instead, learn to change your perspective and mend your own heart. Then, life will become smoother and smoother.
"All the events that occur in life are drawn to us by our own inner desires." This is a sentence from the preface of the book "The Heart" by Daisan Wafu.
The quality of life, whether it is good or bad, happy or sad, does not depend on the current circumstances, but on each person's inner state.
In "Living the Meaning of Life", there is a sentence: "People cannot control the environment, but they can control their attitude towards it. When we cannot change the situation, we should change ourselves."
Cultivate a simple heart
In "The Heart", Katsuaki Yanagiwa repeatedly mentions a single word: simplicity.
He said, "People with simple minds are far more likely to achieve their goals than those with complicated minds."
When life becomes a tangled mess, we always want to grasp all the threads, but often the more we try to sort them out, the more chaotic it becomes. Gradually, the peace within us is lost in this chaos.
A simple heart can enable one to forget fear and directly step into the realm of victory.
We always think that success requires complex strategies, but in fact, it's the opposite.
When a person is fully engaged in something, they will enter a state of selflessness, with distractions disappearing and efficiency increasing significantly.
Cultivate a kind heart
When people are in a low mood, they always want to search for a lighthouse, but they forget to steady the rudder in their hearts. In life, 90% of the outcomes depend on your attitude towards the 10% uncontrollable events.
We are both ordinary people. We don't have magical powers and it's impossible for us to turn stones into gold or have a perfectly smooth life throughout our entire lives. But life will force you to heal yourself, to move forward, and to be fearless.
Do good deeds from the bottom of your heart, be kind to others, and the love you give will be returned to you. Good fortune will come to you as well. All of these will be reciprocated to you.
In psychology, there is a concept called the "Attractiveness Law": The energy you emit will attract the corresponding circumstances. People who constantly complain tend to attract more unpleasantness; while those who are grateful are more likely to receive continuous assistance from good people.
Cultivate a calm and composed mind
Oda Yasuhiro once said: "As long as one has a heart full of altruism and does altruistic deeds, one's fate will naturally improve."
Kindness is not sacrifice; it is the mutual warmth of a two-way embrace.If we act and behave in a way that overly focuses on seeking benefits and avoiding harm, only caring about ourselves, we will end up losing more than we gain.
Face the predicament head-on, with a calm and composed mind, and overcome the difficulties. Later, when you look back, it will merely be a stepping stone on your life journey.
Thoughts determine mindset, and mindset determines destiny.
What determines a person's fate is not what kind of events they encounter, but how they approach those events with their mindset.
