Sow a Good Thought, Reap a Good Conscience
Life is impermanent, and the world is unpredictable. Don't retreat because of hardship, and don't lose yourself in fleeting praise. Only then do you truly display the spirit of a hero.
With age comes wisdom, health is all that matters. Appearance doesn't matter, harmony is key. Wealth or poverty, it's about goodwill. The size of a house, as long as it's livable. All worries, if resolved, are better. Let go of stubbornness, embrace serenity, and act with unwavering determination rather than blindly following trends. Life's challenges will become lighter with each step. No matter how much pain life brings, I simply laugh it off.
A thing, no matter how beautiful, should be let go if it doesn't bear fruit. Prolonged attachment leads to exhaustion and heartbreak. A person, if unrecoverable, should be released in time, preventing mental anguish and shattered hearts. Sometimes, giving up is another form of perseverance. Everything and everyone will eventually become the past.
Planting a good thought yields moral awareness; cultivating moral awareness brings forth morality; nurturing morality instills habit; developing habits shapes character; and character determines one's life.
