Life is like a castle, with countless doors and windows, each of which represents a possibility and choice in life.
However, when we enter the age of 60, no matter how much we have been able to do in the past, we need to start paying attention to and closing the following "doors".
These "doors" are not actual doors, but symbolize attitudes and behaviors that we should let go, converge on, or change in our lives.
Only in this way can we enjoy true peace and happiness in our old age.
The first "door": the door of work.
Sixty years old, for most people, is the age of retirement.
This "door to work" represents our lifelong career and hard work.
No matter how much you have accomplished in your work, when you enter your sixties, you need to consider closing this "door".
This is not to say that you can't continue to work or use your spare energy, but it does mean that you should psychologically let go of excessive attachment and pursuit of work.
Life after retirement should have more attention and enjoyment of self, family, and life itself.
The second "door": the door of the children.
There is an old Chinese saying: "Children are the debt of their parents".
For many Chinese parents, they spend their lives giving and running for their children.
However, as we enter our sixties, we need to consider closing this "door to our children."
This is not to say that we should cut ties with our children or stop caring for them, but that we need to shift our focus from our children to ourselves and our spouses.
We need to learn to let go and let our children face life independently, while also leaving more time and space for ourselves to enjoy their old age.
The third "door": the door of the past.
Everyone has their own past, there are joys and sorrows, successes and failures.
This "door to the past" represents our past experiences and memories.
As we enter our sixties, we need to consider closing the door to the past.
This is not to say that we should forget the past, but that we need to learn to let go of the baggage of the past and stop letting the shadow of the past affect our present and future.
We should face the past with a positive and optimistic attitude, cherish those good memories, and at the same time not be afraid of those unpleasant experiences.
Only in this way can we truly live in the present and enjoy the beauty of life in old age.
The fourth "door": the door of health.
Health is the cornerstone of life. This "health door" represents our physical condition and healthy lifestyle.
As we enter our sixties, we need to pay more attention to the closing of this "door".
This means that we need to pay more attention to healthy lifestyles such as exercise, eating right, and having a regular schedule.
At the same time, we also need to have regular physical check-ups so that possible health problems can be detected and addressed in a timely manner.
By closing this "door to health", we can lay a solid foundation for our later life.
Finally, when we close these four "doors", we will also open a new "door" for ourselves - the door of happiness.
We will have more time and energy to focus on our inner needs, enjoy life's beautiful moments, and spend time with family and friends.
We will learn to cherish the present, embrace the future, and welcome the arrival of old age with a peaceful and open-minded mind.
In short, turning 60 is an important turning point in life.
At this stage, we need to close the "doors" of work, children, past and health in order to better open a new chapter of happy life in old age.
Let's work together towards a fulfilling, happy and healthy old age!
