Life management lessons of choice and abandonment

Chapter 1 Preface: The Relativity of Choosing and Letting Go

The Buddhists say: "If you are willing, if you are willing, you will gain if you are willing." You have chosen something, but it also means that you have to let go of something.Choosing and letting go, like hustle and bustle and silence, are relative relationships.

The famous British writer Swift, who was hailed as "the world's great literary creator" by Gorky, once wrote such a poem:

Animals understand their own characteristics:
Bears don't try to fly,

A poor horse hesitates when jumping over a high fence,

Dogs will turn away when they see a deep and wide ditch.

But man is the only animal that knows no fun,
Swayed by foolish and self-important natures,
Yelling loudly at what is out of reach—keep it up!
Out of blindness and obstinacy,
He's ridiculously obsessed with what he's least good at,

Put yourself through hardships, but gain little.

Are you that obsessive person who has gone through hardships but gained little?

Choosing requires wisdom, and so is letting go.The reason why you are struggling is because you are carrying too much weight, and the reason why you are carrying too much weight is because you still don't know the beauty of letting go.

Only when the plum blossoms let go of the warm season can they get the magnificence of Xiaoao Frost and Snow; only when the earth let go of the gorgeous dusk will the dawn of the rising sun come; only when the ships let go of the safe harbor can they harvest fish and shrimp in the deep sea , the sky puts down the sun to make a beautiful colorful bridge.If you want to appreciate the realm of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely", you have to let go of the temptation of Vanity Fair; If you want to have the pride of "when the wind and waves break, hang on the clouds and sail to help the sea", you have to let go of your nostalgia for a comfortable life; You have to let go of the attraction of three thousand weak waters.

You are the master of your life, and all the choices are yours.If you choose to let go today, you will have a pleasant surprise tomorrow.Those who achieve great things don't care about temporary gains and losses, they will keep thinking about how to let go and what to let go.

On the road of life, each of us is carrying all kinds of luggage and moving forward with difficulty.These luggage, maybe our work, maybe our past, maybe our feelings.They constitute the reason and value of our existence in this world.However, too heavy luggage will become a cross in your life.

Learn to choose, learn to let go, and look at gains and losses with an optimistic attitude.

Learn to choose, learn to let go, letting go may be a kind of pain, but it may be another kind of happiness.

Learn to choose, learn to let go, the feeling of happiness is just a thought of yours.

Cherish your right to choose freely, and at the same time don't waste your right to let go, grow up in the choice and let go, and your life will become more beautiful and splendid.
