。Over the past two years, I have undergone a magnificent transformation. Looking back on the past youth, I realized that the glitz and vanity I had been pursuing had long been a thing of the past. And now, I have finally found the way to true happiness.
Before the age of 50, I always liked to spend lavishly. Food, clothing, shelter and transportation, everything is better than others, and they often spend extravagantly in order to satisfy their own desires. And now, after years of baptism, I understand the value of frugality and the importance of seeking inner satisfaction. So I started cutting back on unnecessary expenses, spending a little less and having a bigger pocket.
I started shopping more rationally, buying only what I really need, focusing only on practicality rather than branding. I went from clothes and food to everyday lifeHousehold items, all of which are carefully chosen. Gradually, I learned to work with the longevity of things and paid more attention to saving energy and resources. This way, I will not only be able to control my consumer spending, but I will also be able to save more and feel safe. While controlling my expenses, I also gained a sense of satisfaction and understood that these so-called material things are not what we are pursuingThe ultimate goalAnd true joy and happiness come from the heartTranquilityand satisfied.
When I was younger, I always loved to get together with a group of sisters and enjoy the hustle and bustle. However, as the years went by, I realized that socializing should be valuable, not just a matter of killing time. Before the age of 50, I was often busy with the hustle and bustle of social circles for socializing, but I neglected the real meaningful relationships. As a result, I began to cut back on those ineffective social interactions and devote more time and energy to socializing with friends and family.
I chose people who are also rational and positive to grow together. I believe that true friendship is not about quantity, but about quality. By reducing meaningless socializing, I save time and effort and place more emphasis on authentic and deep communication between myself and others. With people who genuinely treat me, we grow together, our relationship is stronger, and it also gives me unlimited strength and courage.
Troubles are often the burden we ourselves give to life, a kind of senseless self-abuse. And I've learned to reduce my worries and say goodbye to the self-inflicted pain. Before I turned 50, I was always entangled in all kinds of trivial and troublesome things, complaining about the unfairness of my fate and the unsatisfactory life. But from an intellectual point of view, we will find that the vast majority of our troubles are given by ourselves, and they are all a state of our heart.
So I started to say goodbye to my worries and to complain. I have learned to change my attitude, to take a positive view of problems, and to face challenges with a more optimistic attitude. When I encounter troubles, I try to downplay its existence and bring myself back to my heart through meditation and relaxationTranquility。Through this change, I found that my inner disturbances gradually disappeared, and my life became easier and happier.
After the age of 50, I gradually increased my self-confidence. I've found that self-confidence is an important strength, both at work and in life. By dressing myself up to work, I gradually felt my worth and ability. I focus on my job and face every task with seriousness and dedication. The employer's appreciation and affirmation of me made me more confident and motivated.
In my work, I gradually developed my professional skills, from an ordinary part-time worker, to an employee who was trusted and relied on by my employer. This kind of self-confidence not only comes from external praise and affirmation, but more importantly, from one's own heart. I firmly believe in the abilities and potential I have, and I am no longer timid and withdrawn. Self-confidence allows me to excel at work and be more relaxed and good in interpersonal interactions.
Before I turned 50, I always complained that this was not good and that was not good, and I was worried about every plant and tree around me. However, after the baptism of the years, I gradually understood a truth: complaining is useless, only acceptance and release can bring the heartTranquilityand open-minded.
So, I started to change myself and be open-minded and open-minded about everything. Whether I am misunderstood or frustrated, I am able to face it calmly and no longer struggle with small things. I learned to be tolerant and understanding, and instead of arguing with others, I chose to solve problems calmly. At the same time, I gradually learned to let go of the unwillingness and resentment in my heart, and faced the ups and downs of life with an open-minded attitude. This open-mindedness has brought me more freedom and happiness, and it has made me feel insideTranquilitywith peace.
As the years went by, I began to realize that a single job income would not satisfy my pursuit of life. So, I added a side hustle and became the self-** creator of Toutiao. As a newbie, I was lost and confused at first. However, through continuous study and hard work, I gradually mastered the skills of writing and began my creative journey.
In more than two years, I have earned more than 50,000 yuan through the creation of Toutiao. While that may not be a lot, more importantly, I have more than 80,000 loyal fans. These fans have given me endless joy and support, and I feel a real sense of accomplishment. During this time, I not only enriched my knowledge and thinking through writing, but also met more interesting and wise friends. This side hustle has brought me financial benefits, and it has also given me a platform to use my talents and express myself.
By subtracting unnecessary expenses and ineffective social interactions, I have gained financial wisdom and sincere friendship; By reducing my worries, I have my inner selfTranquilityand joy; By increasing my self-confidence and open-mindedness, I found the motivation in life and the balance of my mindset; By adding a side hustle, I realized financial freedom and opportunities for personal growth. These two events changed the trajectory of my life after I turned 50 and allowed me to live a happy and meaningful life. The accumulation of years has made me understand the true meaning of life and understand what I am really pursuing. Through constant change and learning, I have grown into a stronger and more mature person. I believe that as long as we are willing to learn to do subtraction and addition, we can find our own happiness and fulfillment at any age.
