Su Shi once sighed: "Life is like a reverse journey, and I am also a pedestrian." ”
Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, most of my life has passed.
In the past, we were busy in the world for fame and fortune, but now we understand the true meaning of life.
Life is not only about endless pursuits, but also about inner growth and soul sublimation.
The first half has come to an end, and if you want to live a good life in the second half, you have to stick to these two things.
01 Stay healthy.
After deciding to become a professional writer, the famous writer Haruki Murakami insisted on running every morning.
He believes that a healthy body is the foundation of creation.
One day, the weather was bad and the wind was stormy, but Haruki Murakami did not give up running because of this.
He put on a raincoat and resolutely went out.
In the wind and rain, he ran hard, sweat and rain intertwined.
When he got home, he felt empowered and his mind clearer.
As Haruki Murakami said, "The body is the temple of the soul." ”
He understands that only by maintaining a healthy body can he go further on the road of creation.
Today, Haruki Murakami is not only an acclaimed writer, but also a role model for many people to live a healthy life.
As the saying goes, "Health is the cornerstone of happiness." ”
A person's health in the second half of his life largely determines his quality of life.
Some people are born with good physical fitness, but their physical condition gradually declines due to a lack of attention to health and mobility.
Others may have a lower starting point, but with a determined drive to action and a persistent pursuit of health, they continue to improve their lifestyle and eventually have better health.
Without healthy execution, all plans are just empty buildings.
In the second half of life, let's take action first to pursue a healthy life, so that the happiness we expect will come as scheduled.
02 Stay calm.
Wang Yangming once said: "This heart is bright, and there is nothing to say." ”
This phrase speaks to the power of inner peace.
In the second half of life, we have experienced ups and downs and understood that the world is impermanent.
At this time, peace of mind becomes our most precious treasure.
Uncle Zhang is a retired old man, and the first half of his life can be described as magnificent.
He has made great achievements in the workplace.
However, in the second half of his life, he chose a completely different life.
After retiring, Uncle Zhang did not immerse himself in the glory of the past, but began to learn calligraphy and painting.
He goes for a walk in the park every morning to feel the beauty of nature.
In the afternoon, he would sit in front of the window and splash ink.
Once, Uncle Zhang's paintings were well received at a community exhibition.
But instead of being complacent, he was even more indifferent.
"I don't paint to win awards, I paint to enjoy peace of mind," he says. ”
In the second half of his life, Uncle Zhang found inner peace.
He is no longer bothered by fame and fortune, but focuses on inner growth and spiritual fulfillment.
In life, we are often troubled by trivial matters and burdened by fame and fortune.
However, as we enter the second half of life, we should understand that inner peace is true happiness.
Like Uncle Zhang, we must learn to let go of impetuousness and utilitarianism, to discover the beauty in life, and to feel the peace of mind.
When we have peace of mind, we are able to face the ups and downs of life with a peaceful mind.
No more anxiety because of a little setback, no more complacent because of a little achievement.
We will know how to cherish the people and things around us more and be grateful for the gift of life.
In the second half of life, let us pursue inner peace and let the soul be nourished in tranquility.
In this way, we can live a truly fulfilling and happy life in our old age.
