Life is really hard, don't push yourself too hard.
Before you know it, your life is half over.
Gradually, no longer so sentimental, no longer dwell on gains and losses, facing life, more is from the obedience and respect of the years.
Zhuangzi said: "When things are smooth, joys and sorrows cannot enter."
When people reach middle age, they realize that the most comfortable way of life for the rest of their lives is to let nature take its course.

In recent years, morbid "health care fever" has become popular.
On the one hand, I can't help but endure the most expensive and deepest night, can't refuse all kinds of junk takeout, intermittently overeating, and continue to abuse myself;
On the one hand, there are medlar thermos bottles and medical health books, and health care products and health care instruments that can't stop. Be careful everywhere.
There is no restraint when indulging desires; Overprotection is unprincipled.
"Zhuangzi's Way of Keeping Healthy" said: "The governor thinks that classics can protect the body, can be whole-born, can support relatives and can last for years."
It means that people should conform to nature, deal with the relationship between people and foreign things reasonably, and don't desperately pursue foreign things, so as to protect their lives, preserve their nature, preserve their spirit and enjoy their lives.
Don't be forced, let nature take its course and be moderate, which is the real way to keep in good health.
Ji Xianlin, a master of Chinese studies who died at the age of 97, talked about the way of keeping in good health and bluntly said there were "three noes":
No picky eaters, no excessive exercise, no whispering.
He advocates treating himself "according to scientific laws and letting nature take its course".
Looking back on Ji Xianlin's life, there were good times and many ups and downs, and he was treated inhumanely.
It's hard to imagine that he could be so old if he didn't let nature take its course and cultivate his mind.
People who know how to let nature take its course, control their desires, treat their bodies scientifically and moderately, and are naturally healthy.
Contrary to the natural laws of physiology, overexertion is actually harmful to health.

Not every flower can blossom and bear fruit, and not every river can run to the sea.
Not everyone's life can be smooth sailing, and not every family can be happy.
Ups and downs are inevitable in one's life.
Learn to let nature take its course, in order to be safe and not chaotic, quiet and comfortable.
Wang Yangming is like this.
Born in a scholarly family, he studied in his early years, failed in the imperial examination, and finally entered the official career. However, he was sentenced to 40 years in prison for being outspoken.
After he was released from prison, he was demoted to Longchang, Guizhou, and became a small official.
Along the way, he escaped several assassinations sent by his political enemies and went through all the hardships to escape to Longchang.
At that time, the Dragon Farm was a terrible wild death, which was remote, with many boils and inconvenient transportation. Many people died here and could not come back.
Wang Yangming, on the other hand, doesn't complain at all. He is happy with the situation, but he is very calm in the face of difficulties.
As there was no place to live, he built a hut himself. As soon as it rained, the hut was wet and miserable. He lived in a cave, which was later called "Yangming Cave".
When three followers became ill, Wang Yangming took care of his followers, cooking, singing and telling stories for them.
Without food, he planted his own crops and brought many advanced agricultural and construction technologies of the Han nationality there.
Wang Yangming later recalled:
"I have been in the field for two years and I have been poisoned, but I am safe and sound. This is because I have always maintained a positive mood and an optimistic attitude, unlike others who are sad and depressed. "
Life is hard and tortuous.
Let nature take its course and live in the present, you can be more calm when you are frustrated and more calm when you are troubled.
Wang Yangming said: "Let nature take its course and do whatever you want without overstepping the bounds."
Look down on everything, let nature take its course, don't entangle, and your heart will be at ease.

Jiang Yang said, "If a person doesn't want to climb high, he is not afraid to fall. He doesn't have to run over others. He can embrace innocence, become natural and focus on what he can do. "
Life is like climbing a mountain. You keep looking up to the top of the mountain, but you can't walk well.
Only by letting nature take its course can we focus on the present in a down-to-earth manner.
Jiang Yang devoted himself to literary creation all his life, devoted himself to research and published many books, but rarely made "useless" propaganda.
Even if the publishing house intends to invite her out of the mountain, she will sternly refuse: "I handed in the manuscript, and how to sell the book is none of my business."
She doesn't want to argue with anyone, and she's too lazy to argue with anyone.
She calls herself "a drop of water" instead of "soapy water blowing bubbles", and only does what she can, regardless of vanity and fame.
The less things you care about, the less tangled desires, and the more focused you are, the more often things become.
Therefore, at the age of 96, Mr. Jiang Yang wrote such a masterpiece "Walking on the Edge of Life" with deliberation and passion.
Laozi once said, "There is nothing special about being talented."
However, in life, we always like to compete for fame and gain and face. ...
In fact, the more you fight, the more you care, the more you lose a pure heart, the more impure it is, and the more likely it is to fail.
Letting nature take its course has become the smartest way to find it.
Zuo, the minister of the Qing Dynasty, was unfamiliar with the power struggle all his life, didn't pull gangs, and only buried himself in his work.
Zuo is more interested in how to do things well than Li Hongzhang's means of doing whatever he wants in officialdom.
The final achievement of two people is different.
Zuo recovered Xinjiang and became a national hero praised by everyone in later generations. Li Hongzhang, on the other hand, was almost bankrupt.
Let go of unnecessary disputes, attach more importance to external things, respect your own heart and pay more attention to what you have done, so that the road of life can get wider and wider.
Don't think too much about everything, let nature take its course and the breeze will come.

Zen master Lv Hui once said, "When you are happy, you will find inner peace. Do my best and let nature take its course. "
Think what you think, do what you want, follow your heart, and don't force it deliberately. This is the most subtle way to be a man.
Life is really hard, don't push yourself too hard.
Gain and loss, sadness and pain, it is better to learn to laugh it off than to entangle sadness.
If you can't finish the work, let go;
Slow down endless entertainment;
Unfinished human feelings, stop;
You can't stop sulking and have a rest.
As hermann hesse said, "Let nature take its course, don't ask what you can get."
May you always have leisure for the rest of your life, watching the flowers fall in bloom before the court; Have an interest, look at the clouds in the sky.
