In this life of ours, we will inevitably fall into confusion and have moments of hesitation, standing at a crossroads and looking left and right, not knowing where to go.
This is all normal. Even the great writer Balzac once complained like this:
I need to rest and rejuvenate my brain. Traveling can help me rest, but to be able to travel, I must have money. To make money, I must work… I am trapped in a vicious cycle. It is impossible to escape from the clutches of the devil.
Life will be difficult for everyone, but some people can get out of it quickly, while others will always struggle in the whirlpool.
If you are confused at this moment, you might as well listen to the following sentences and think about them, they may make your eyes light up.
1. The road up is difficult
What is difficult to do and what should be done are often the same thing.
This is the first thing I want to share.
If you feel that the road you are currently on is difficult and you are considering whether to give up, I suggest you not to decide in a hurry.
First, think carefully and seek verification to see if the path you are currently taking is in the right direction and if the method is correct.
If there is indeed a problem with the direction or idea, then give up as soon as possible. This is called “stop loss in time”, but if there is no problem, then please persist.
Many times, the reason why some things are difficult to do, and the reason why some roads are difficult to walk, is because you are doing what you should do and heading towards the upper road.
Meaningful things are often not easy, and valuable things are usually difficult. That’s why “effort” and “persistence” are so valuable.
2. Live your own life
You don’t have to use other people’s standards to frame your life.
This is the second sentence I want to share.
Many people are often confused when it comes to career choices, marriage, having children, etc. They don’t know how to choose. They may have their ideas in mind, but they are incompatible with family or worldly standards.
My suggestion is to live the life you want. There is no need to use other people’s standards to measure your life.
Although this sentence sounds silly and even a bit selfish, after all, such behavior may hurt those who care about us.
But I still feel that it is necessary to be selfish. If we spend our whole lives living what others expect instead of what we want, it will be so painful and boring.
Moreover, you often don’t make the people around you truly satisfied.
On the other hand, when you are truly passionate and live happily, people who once opposed you will also stand with you again.
People are born towards death. It is quite scary and helpless to think about coming to this world, taking a look around, and then disappearing and leaving. That’s why we have to live according to our wishes.
3. Let go of unnecessary face
People truly become strong not when they protect their self-esteem, but when they put aside their self-esteem.
This is the third sentence I want to share.
This year is destined to be a difficult year, and it is also a year that makes many people anxious, confused, and hesitant. This is not only a test of the hard power of many individuals and companies, but also a big mental test.
Some time ago, I saw a report that the vice president of a well-known domestic company started selling underwear in his circle of friends.
This incident once caused a heated discussion on the Internet. Let’s not delve into the business model of this company. I think “the vice president of a well-known company buys underwear” is nothing and there is no need to ridicule.
A lot of things, once you think about it, really don’t matter.
When a person truly becomes powerful, he often starts by being “shameless”. The more shameless he is, the faster he grows and the easier it is to accomplish things.
Of course, I am not saying that you can abandon dignity, principles, and bottom lines to achieve a certain goal. What I want to say is that some things that you cling to don’t mean much. The real hero is the one who can bend and stretch.
Sometimes, we should be cruel to ourselves and not pity ourselves too much, otherwise, it will be easy to develop a fragile body that is vulnerable to a blow.
4. Ability is the sharp sword that kills confusion
There are three things in this world that cannot be taken away by others: first, the food that goes into the stomach; second, the dreams hidden in the heart; third, the books that are put into the brain;
This is the fourth sentence I want to share.
Many times, the reason why we are confused and hesitant is simply because we have too little ability and too many desires. To use a popular saying nowadays: Ability cannot support ambition.
So, how is ability developed?
Four words: hard work and persistence.
The books you have read, the skills you have learned, and the hard work you have put in through gritted teeth will often not be in vain. They will be transformed into a sharp sword for the future, cleaving thorns and cutting off confusion.
The more confused people are, the more they need to calm down and grow. The faster they grow, the faster they can get out of confusion.
5. Be a happy pirate
Now that you’ve boarded the pirate ship of life, let’s be a happy pirate.
This is the fifth sentence I want to share.
In everyone’s life, there are dark clouds, lightning, and thunder, but of course, there are also clear skies and spring flowers blooming. People with different mentalities will have different lives.
As the saying goes, when it comes, let it go.
The original meaning of this sentence is that they have been recruited and it is time to settle them down. Later it was gradually interpreted as: Now that you are here, you can feel at ease here.
Although over-interpreted, this truth is worth hearing.
We always say that the background of life is pain and sadness, but now that we have started the journey of life and boarded the pirate ship of life, we might as well be a happy pirate, humming a ditty no matter how big the storm is, Smiling face.
In life, if you look away and calm down, the dark clouds above your head will disappear.
These six sentences are written to you, and also to myself, to encourage each other!
May we all live this life in vain in the end!
