Cultivate the mind
Beautiful morning light, accompany you to read.
all things are the projection of the human heart, and everything is in the human heart.
A person is strong enough to deal with whatever happens to the outside world.
and a strong heart needs a little bit of spiritual practice. As the saying goes:
to achieve these six points, life can be mentally strong and invincible.
01
practice your mind when you are in trouble

in the hawking sound of vendors, sometimes read aloud, sometimes meditate, as if no one was there.
therefore, Mao Zedong developed a kung fu that could settle his mind at any time.
in the days that followed, amid gunfire on the march, he was able to concentrate on his studies.
many young people can't settle down and always look for external causes, feeling that they are affected by the outside world.
I don't know, "it's not waking up, it's your heart."
Don't always blame the outside world for not having a quiet environment.
temper yourself in the noise and seek strength inward, so that a person can be really strong.

only by keeping quiet can one relax and be calm.

calm down, a person has time to precipitate, reflect, to sublimate.
the ancients said: stillness gives birth to wisdom.
only when you are quiet can you have the wisdom to deal with complexity.
only when the mind is quiet can it be possible to observe all things.
03
keep your heart while sitting
the ancients thought that being alone could "keep the spirit from getting turbid" and sitting silently could "keep the heart from getting turbid".
when you are alone, you should keep your inner clarity.
when others don't know, stick to your inner rules and the bottom line of your life.

when he was a child, Su Shi aspired to be as sincere and upright as Fan Kui.
when he grew up, he did not forget his ideal, whether in the court or the countryside.
even though he is demoted thousands of miles and wandered all his life, he still does not stand in line, does not form a party, and always maintains sincerity and kindness.
Don't go so far that you forget why you started.
check yourself all the time, remind yourself, and think about why you left in the first place.
Don't forget your original mind and don't deviate from your course.
there is only one life. You can't start over again. Be sure to live what you look like.

after experiencing this incident, Zeng Guofan became more and more cautious in his words and deeds, always paying attention to his words and deeds and leaving no information on others.
when Zeng Guofan goes home every day, he records his words and deeds in his diary, reflects on himself, and corrects himself.
do not act willfully, do not speak freely.
be sure to go through it in your head before you speak.
being able to speak is not a skill, knowing how to speak carefully and being silent at the right time is the way to protect yourself.
