The second realm of "keeping" can be called the central axis of the three realms. After clearing the clouds and seeing the Tianshan Mountains, you need a spirit that can endure loneliness and perseverance, even if the road ahead is difficult. It’s difficult, so we should work hard and forge ahead. Only if you can endure loneliness can you maintain prosperity; only if you can endure the cold winter can you wait for flowers to bloom.
Withstand temptation and stick to principles
Romain Rolland once realized that there is only one kind of heroism in the world, which is to still love life after seeing the truth of life clearly. There are all kinds of temptations in life, and when facing temptations, if you can remain rational, calm, and responsible, then you are the one who can truly see the truth of life. Human nature is greedy, and desire is a black hole that cannot be filled. We always want to get better. This is the weakness of human beings and the richness of human beings. But the most important thing is whether you can withstand temptation and stick to your principles.
Loneliness is the biggest enemy of prosperity. Often when there is prosperity, the mentality is easy to wander. You will feel that you are already very powerful, and you will lose awe in many things. This mentality also makes us more likely to lose the sense of respect. Lonely, it is very likely that you will make a mistake due to loneliness in some aspect. Once you make a mistake, you will be regretted forever. Many previous efforts and perseverance will be in vain, and prosperity will become a fleeting cloud due to a temporary mistake. There are many such examples, such as Fan Bingbing and Luo Zhixiang, who were very popular for a while. They relied on their own efforts, talents, and persistence in their own hearts to step into the door of prosperity. The word success may not be at all in them. The feeling of disobedience is that they are supposed to devote their youth to the career they love, let more people know them, and enjoy the golden age that their career and life give them back. However, they are defeated in the face of temptation and loneliness. Faced with the temptation of money and the loneliness of sex, they chose to abandon the bottom line of law or morality and lost their sense of awe. One mistake caused their temporary fame to quickly cool down. Therefore, only by enduring loneliness can we maintain prosperity.
I admire those who choose to stick to their moral bottom line in the face of money, those who choose loyalty in relationships, those who have a sense of responsibility for themselves and others, and those who face temptation in the midst of prosperity. Sometimes, it is really not easy to stick to your principles. You can face it with a kind and simple heart and defeat yourself. Such people are the truly charming ones who can remain calm in the face of temptation and loneliness, laugh it off, and turn to do what they should do.
Look at life with a normal mind
For you and me, life is like an amusement park crowded with people during peak holidays, "queue for two hours and have fun for five minutes." Most of the time is dull. If your life is full of climaxes and excitements, you are either hallucinating or addicted to drugs. When we realize this, we can take the first step to face temptation and endure loneliness. By looking at life with a normal mind, figuring out what we should do now, firming up our goals, and working hard for them persistently, at least we will not aimlessly hunt for novelties and have fun, and it will also reduce the attraction of temptation to us. There are too many temptations in life, just like Medusa's eyes, seeking the goal. We look at life with a normal mind, figure out what we should do now, learn to turn a deaf ear and turn a blind eye, and Medusa's gaze will not fall on us. In the body, the temptations gradually become positive temptations, driving us to achieve higher-level goals, and life becomes more and more fulfilling, and the feeling of loneliness will slowly fade away as you become more fulfilled, allowing us to truly Only by facing loneliness squarely can we develop a temperament that can withstand loneliness. We must have enough reasons to believe that everyone will get the happiest love in the world. In this process, everyone will face those attractive temptations and boring loneliness, choose loneliness, and hone the ability to tolerate loneliness. A good temperament will make us happier when prosperity comes. Fruits will only be sweet when they are ripe, and the same is true for happiness.
Only by guarding can you gain
? Today is cruel, tomorrow will be even crueler, and the day after tomorrow will be beautiful, but most people will die tomorrow night. Ma Yun has taken the college entrance examination three times. Mathematics has always been his top problem. He was not interested in mathematics and he only got one point in the first college entrance examination. During the third college entrance examination, a mathematics teacher named Yu said to Ma Yun, your mathematics is really a mess. If you can even pass the exam, then my character "Yu" will be written backwards. Ma Yun used his perseverance to make Teacher Yu was shocked. By relying on memorized formulas, Ma Yun actually scored 79 points (the full score was 120 points in mathematics) and successfully entered Hangzhou Normal University. After going through various twists and turns in entrepreneurship, he started his future career. A hanging life. If Jack Ma faced the pressure of life and failed to hold on to his ideals and true intentions, and chose to learn a craft and live a comfortable working life temporarily, perhaps the name Jack Ma would be just one of the popular names, and we would not be related to this person at all. The big guys are connected.
"Have you ever seen Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning?" Kobe asked when facing reporters' questions. The sky full of stars, the few lights, and the few pedestrians in Los Angeles are the best answer to why Kobe is so successful. In the quietest time in Los Angeles, when everyone was still asleep, the sweaty Kobe stayed true to his heart and shot the thousandth goal he would score today. If Kobe didn't keep his heart and instead slept at home or often went to nightclubs, then there wouldn't be such an excellent and perfect Kobe.
Anyone who is successful often has to go through a period of dark years with no one to support or help them, and this period of time is precisely the critical stage for self-preservation. Just like the darkness before dawn, when you get past it, the sky will light up. Whether it is Jack Ma or Kobe, they are able to stand out in their respective fields not because they go fast enough, but because they keep walking and go long enough. If you can't fly, then run; if you can't run, then walk; if you can't walk, then crawl; but whatever you do, keep moving forward.
