Understanding the heart Successful - The Rike

There is no big or small success in this life, but only momentary emotions or genuine happiness values.

When we are asked about success, we often think of our jobs. This is understandable. Because income and position in society have a huge impact on the quality of life of most people. Especially now that the global economy is in deep recession, many companies have closed, many corporations have gone bankrupt and countless people are unemployed, the word "success" has become the top sensitive thing that no one dares to mention. But why don't we ask the other person again or ask ourselves what success is about? Success must have its object, namely any field, not everything that is successful to be called success.

Whether we have expensive luxury amenities, or a social position that so many people dream of, it's okay not to claim to have succeeded. But while we have these things, family happiness breaks down, loved ones are alienated, friends don't trust each other, do we call it success? Yes, we have succeeded materially, but our emotional lives have completely failed. Or we think that love is the best in the world, so we defy everything to rush after it like a moth. We spend countless hours, money, and energy to grasp it. We neglect ourselves, not caring about our jobs or the intimate relationships around us to nurture them. We get into the habit of being jealous, narrow-minded, or willing to lose with others in order to own it. Assuming he already belongs to us, are we really successful? Yes, we have succeeded in our ability to conquer others but failed in our own.

Now stepping out into the street, we can't help but be amazed by the crowd of people, but everyone is full of tension and hustle as if they are running for something. They don't know where they're going, who just passed them, how they can look at each other with affectionate eyes or give each other friendly smiles. Sitting next to each other on the bus for hours but no one would talk to anyone, because everyone seemed to be very busy with the plans in their heads. Meeting each other every day at work but not being able to stop to ask and wait for answers, because they feel like losing a few precious moments. Instead, they plunged headlong into daily newspapers, going on the internet to search for information. Because they believe that it is a practical useful job, an inevitable part of life. What an anomaly!

Many people don't like people asking about them. They always think the presence of others is unnecessary and can hinder their freedom. They don't want to tell others about their failures, or they suspect the other person may be looking to compete or take them down. Therefore, the market has now become a fierce battlefield, in which those who do not have enough wisdom and sophisticated moves must accept to become defeated. Since then, humans have increasingly turned themselves into inanimate machines and lost their love for each other. When the time comes when they can no longer endure such mechanical and superficial living, they fall into the guise of loneliness, coldness and make very wrong decisions. Such success already carries with it the character of destruction.

If our possessions are dissipated, we still have many opportunities to find them, or there are still many other meaningful things to live. But once spiritual qualities such as peace, mercy, honesty, and humility are broken, we may not be able to rebuild them all our lives. A man who lives without morals is truly a miserable failure. Living without being able to love or being loved is different from hungry ghosts. So let's not get too alarmed or bored when we're a loser in the economic battlefield. If we still have the ability to sit still and drink cups of hot tea and confide in friends, still have the patience to listen to our loved ones share their difficulties, still be touched by the conflicts of life, still zealously stand up for the weak, then let's celebrate. For this family, society and even heaven and earth, we have succeeded in the mission of human life.

Currently, many young people have already completed their university degrees but do not dare to enter life. They think they must continue to equip themselves with more knowledge, have to get a few more certificates, to confidently enter the threshold of success. Meanwhile, sociologists often remind us that school only gives us 25% of knowledge, while experiential life gives us 75% of the knowledge we need to accumulate. It is the confusion about the means of life and the purpose of life, that many generations of graduates have been confused to the point of crisis about choosing the direction for their lives. They do not dare to enter life because they are afraid of losing to others, afraid that they are not the optimal choice of reputable companies, afraid that they will not easily conquer powerful objects in society. For them, entering life is about success. So how many young people have dedicated themselves to the search for the value of true happiness, or to ways to protect the environment and help the hungry, or how to preserve national cultural traditions and strengthen their communities?

Those questions have always been seen as far-fetched, unrealistic. In the minds of most young people, they always think about making a lot of money or proving to others their talent. That's what counts. Many of you have the opportunity to advance is to catch it right away. Those who are not strong enough also try to step in and find ways to burnish their names. They even dare to cause shocking scandals to attract the attention of the masses. For them, getting a lot of attention is already a great success. But, friends, where will that success take us? Granted, everyone's life needs those comforts. But if we cannot touch and cherish the mysterious values in our hearts, we will find this life tasteless and empty. Because that feeling of success will also pass quickly, it will leave us a terrible void of loneliness that nothing can share and compensate.

Looking at the many layers of people passing by, let us carefully reflect on our current purpose and attitude to life. Let us wisely return to discover ourselves in order to take control of our lives. That's the most necessary success. Learn to quiet your mind, don't let your mind wander or worry in vain. Try to practice mastering angry emotions, or learn and transform some toxic energies such as greed, selfishness, calculating habits, irresponsible lifestyle. Find ways to unleash hidden and precious energies that can bring us moments of comfort and peace in the present. Successfully practice leisurely steps, warm meals with family, or attentiveness when listening to the difficulties of others. Let's start with those close successes. In truth, this life has no big or small successes, only momentary emotions or genuine happiness values.

The mountain is eternally strong
Wearing the dew-capped
snow I have found a foothold
Or is there still promiscuity?
