In the past, I had various goals, I wanted to be brilliant and prosperous, and I wanted to live better than others.
I tried a lot of things, but none of them worked. Later, I heard that it was the highest thought, and I thought that if I cultivated the Tao, I would be able to become a fish in water in the world, so I went to the Tao. In the process of cultivating, I got rid of my desires, and I didn't want to live a luxurious life at all, I used to want to live better than others, and I wanted others to envy me. It turned out to be just my own delusion, and I lived in the eyes of the world.
Now I know that the external perception is not important, the inner feeling is the most important, and as long as the feeling is happy, it is worth it. Life is a process of experience, and nothing else matters.
If people pursue too high goals, the process will be very hard, and finally the goal will be reached, but the whole life will be spent in hard work.
I now feel that the pursuit of any goal is to live a confused life, and the pursuit of happiness is the real life.
Now I don't have any goals, just meet the basic food and clothing, no longer have material needs, and no longer compare.
Everything is just a dream, and when you put it down, you find that it is nothing. What we think is important is actually just what we think is important, and there is nothing that we can't let go.
In fact, a person can also live happily, we don't need others at all, when the heart is complete, we lack nothing, and if the heart is not perfect, we always want to go outside to make up for it. Everything is a matter of our hearts, and if we cultivate our minds to perfection, we will lack nothing.
