One Must Rely on Oneself; Judgments Behind Are Made by Others
Success hinges on self, judgments behind are by others. We often get caught up in the opinions of others, leading to indecisiveness, hesitant action, and ultimately, a weary spirit. Even if you excel, criticism will arise; and even if you fail, praise may be heard. The only thing that can save you is yourself – don't dwell on external judgments, don't fall into the gaze of others, and don't distort yourself to please them.
Life's journey becomes long, filled with encounters and experiences. Inadvertently, we discover that life's most beautiful scenery lies within – a calm and composed heart, insightful and clear thinking. Life's most precious possession is an ageless spirit, an unwavering belief, a healthy body, and a loving connection. A free mindset, a job you enjoy, a comfortable sleep, and a joyful appreciation of life.
Cultivation isn't about striving for perfection; it's about accepting imperfection. The practice of life is to use wisdom to see the world's black and white and to achieve all goodness with a kind heart. With a tolerant heart, we openly accept what we cannot change. Cultivation is about forgiveness—allowing criticism, enduring hardship, and letting go of lost beauty.
Wind and rain, autumn leaves falling. Life is a succession of blooming and fading flowers; life is a journey of regretless crossing. Walk quietly, observe silently, regardless of wind and hardship, savor the bitterness and maturity of life. After experiencing hardship and splendor, always believe that effort brings rewards, that giving brings receiving. With an unwavering heart, quietly seek your spiritual haven, and let your state of mind flourish a field of blessings amidst hardship.
