Learn to embrace impermanence, accept parting with equanimity, and enjoy solitude.

Life is often filled with joys and sorrows, partings and reunions, which are hard to predict.

And by learning to accept, suffering cannot inflict more harm upon you.

The most enlightened way to live life is not through resistance, but through understanding and acceptance.

Acceptance of impermanence

Life is vast like the sea, and the underlying hue of life is impermanence.

For the complex and ever-changing nature of fate, those with a strong inner core can face the ups and downs of life with composure, accepting that things may not always go as planned.

The ancients said, "Misfortune and fortune come without a door, and the wind and clouds arrive unpredictably."

The vicissitudes of life are unpredictable; good and bad events often occur in alternation.

One moment may be smooth sailing and sunny skies, the next may be in disarray and overcast with sorrow.

So, it's better to keep a calm mind, accepting what comes with equanimity and letting go of what is lost with grace.

When you can face the various circumstances of life with peace, you will naturally receive the gifts of fate.

Accept parting

In this world, no matter how close someone is, they can only accompany you for a part of the journey.

The departure and separation of others are uncontrollable events and a normal part of life.

One of the essential lessons in life is learning to accept farewells.

The people around us, whether family or friends, cannot always be with us; sooner or later, we will face the day of parting.

The coming and going in life is beyond our control. When we are together, please treat each other well and do not let the other down. After parting, live well in the present and do not let yourself down.

Accept loneliness

A writer once wrote in a book: "Whether a person is their own friend can be seen by whether they can be alone and feel fulfilled when alone."

We have all had moments of walking alone in silence. When you learn to embrace solitude, you can achieve the harmony of life through being alone.

As life progresses, one comes to realize that prosperity is merely an outward appearance, and beyond the hustle and bustle lies real life.

Loneliness is a poetic soil that can evoke thoughts and experiences about the soul, propelling one to continually move towards oneself and towards the richness of life.

The truly powerful force in this world is not resistance, but acceptance.

Learn to embrace impermanence, accept parting with equanimity, and enjoy solitude.

Maintain an optimistic mindset, and even in the most painful days, you can find the meaning of living.
