Let Go of All Disappointments
Original: Ma Shitou
Flowers drift, water flows. Some disappointments in life will not affect our steps forward. However, if you stop to complain, it will truly affect you. Complaining about the unfairness of fate can only mean your mentality is immature. In fact, as long as we remain calm and work diligently, there will be a day when we are satisfied. When our inner self becomes as natural as flowing clouds and water, our mood will be calm and without waves, and a beautiful life will naturally come.

When we look back at the past, past confusion has become a laughing matter, and we have passed middle age. Yesterday's points and drips of sadness have turned into mist, and those passionate loves or unforgettable hates have all faded away, and we realized that time is the greatest magician in the world. The only thing to comfort ourselves is that the emotions we experienced, the sweet moments we experienced, are preserved intact in our consciousness, and whenever we recall them, we still feel a strong sense of happiness.

Calm down, you can hear the voice of your soul; when you have a sense of understanding in your heart, you can appreciate the grace of the Creator. Let go of all the disappointments, those are all past events that are not worth treasuring. Our hearts only keep those moments of inspiration. Faith provides us with a stable spiritual support, allowing us to have confidence in the future no matter how difficult we face. We know that everything is changing, good and bad alternate, and nothing can escape the predestination of the Creator.
Life is a hurried journey, and everyone is rushing. In fact, we should slow down, don't let those beautiful scenery pass us by. No matter how much effort you put into a plan, the outcome is something you cannot control. Therefore, always keep a grateful heart, and you will ultimately achieve peace and happiness. 'Human beings are born impatient, I will reveal my signs to you, so do not urge me' (21:37)
