Fortune and misfortune are all fought for by themselves
Strive for it and go with the flow. Everyone has the right to pursue what they want, instead of passively waiting for fate to be arranged. In the turbulent times in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, Li Mi seized the opportunity and became the leader of the Wagang army, but his fate ended in tragedy, which fully embodies the principle of "good and bad go together".
Whether it is a blessing or a curse, it has its roots, and it is all related to one's own behavior. The help of outsiders can, but it can't be decided. The key lies in how to fight and how to grasp it.
Remember, no matter how greedy you are, you can't get more than you know.
01 Only by being aggressive, wise and kind, can we accumulate blessings. It has been said, "A person who lacks initiative means degenerate." Only by pioneering and competing can we be invincible. ”
No matter what kind of family you are born in, you must study hard and actively accept the influence of positive social energy. Reading from an early age, aspiring, helping others, being filial to your parents, and maintaining emotional stability are all manifestations of accumulating virtue and blessings.
As an aristocratic background, Li Mi, under the influence of his elders, has always taken it as his responsibility to save the world and help the people. He used to study hard, hung books on the horns of the ox, and read as he walked, and his words and deeds were appreciated by Yang Su, the prince of Yueguo, and then became friends with Yang Su's son Yang Xuangan.
After succeeding in his studies, he helped Yang Xuangan raise troops against the Sui Dynasty and overthrow the Sui Dynasty. However, after the defeat, he went to Wagangzhai again and began the work of robbing the rich and helping the poor. In 617, the rebel army of Wagangzhai occupied the granary Luocang and gave the grain to the people of the world.
At this time, people from all over the world came to join Li Mi, and he became the recognized leader of Wagangzhai, and his life reached its peak. On the road of life, you can't do it without fighting or grabbing, and if you keep turning on the "non-fighting" mode, you will be seen as weak and powerless.
If you're in troubled times, you might even lose a place to live. "Fighting" is a positive force, which will allow you to win opportunities, and also strive for the material and wisdom you deserve.
As long as the object and direction of contention are right, develop synchronously with destiny and the times, and conform to the law of social development, then the more you fight, the more blessings you will have.
02 Being too enthusiastic about fame and ambition will only make you lose your blessings and invite disaster. The poet Lin Kui once said: "Those who are victorious will fight, and those who are greedy and brave will be humiliated." "When a person pursues too much what is beyond his control, blessings begin to fade and disasters follow.
The saddest thing is that there are those who are unaware that disaster has befallen them, and think that they should be so. This is the manifestation of being blinded by desire. In order to stabilize his position in Wagangzhai, Li Mi set up a Hongmen banquet and killed Zhai Rang, the important founder of Wagangzhai, and others.
In order to elevate his status, he cooperated with the Sui Dynasty to resist the rebellion of Yu Wenhua; Then I wanted to pacify Luoyang once and for all. As a result, the soldiers in Wagangzhai suffered numerous casualties and fled in all directions.
The saddest thing is that after he took the remnants of his defeated army to join Li Yuan, he still did not want to send people under the fence and launched a rebellion, but the East Window Incident happened. This is "if you do many acts of injustice, you will be killed."
The reason why many people can't keep their blessings is not because their position is not good enough, their wealth is not enough, and the people around them are not good enough, but because they are greedy. It's like a person who has climbed to the top of a mountain and wants to pursue a higher status, so he starts to do something whimsical.
However, life is like this, you always need to take root, no matter how full your wings are, you will eventually return to the ground. If you're in the workplace, you have to work hard, get results, and then keep moving up the ladder and getting raises.
At the age of fifty, the ceiling in the workplace will appear, and this is when it is necessary to take the initiative to go downhill. When you reach the age of sixty, you can retire with peace of mind and live an ordinary life, so that the blessing can last.
If you don't "fight" according to the laws of life, you won't be able to control your own destiny, but you will harm yourself.
The way of heaven is difficult to disobey, and if you follow the sky, you will get good rewards. Although Xu Shiyun was an important figure in Wagangzhai when he was young, he volunteered to guard the granary under the exclusion of Li Mi. When Li Mi took refuge in Li Yuan, he not only offered the granary in the name of Li Mi, but also took the initiative to wear filial piety, and was finally named the Duke of England, starting and ending well.
Doing good deeds without asking for anything in return will win the gratitude of the other party and the improvement of moral quality.
As gentlemen, we must not only know that "a gentleman has nothing to fight, but he must also shoot!" and put it into practice. Disputes are not for the sake of fighting for life and death, but for improving one's skills and cultivation.
In disputes, we must learn to respect each other, learn from each other, and make progress together. The academic performance, employment opportunities, work performance, beautiful family, the truth of life, and the action of helping others are all blessings.
We must learn to recognize fate, follow the trend, and be at peace with what happens. Let's pay attention to the words of cloth and coarse food, enter our hearts, and pursue a better life together.
