The path to Tranquility (spring)
24. Living a fulfilling life
Throughout the journey of life, we will all encounter various challenges
that test whether we can realize the value of life. If we fail to pass these
tests, we will painfully look back on our past when facing death.
Everyone hopes to continue experiencing the world. We need health and longevity, so we must wake up from our dreams and satisfy the needs of life in a timely manner. Although longevity does not only mean living for a long time, a healthier life will undoubtedly provide us with a more fulfilling experience.
Things that bring us joy and peace of mind are beneficial to us. On the other hand, things that bring pain and restlessness, although they can also force us to grow, will always harm our life. Therefore, we need to learn to accept our past decisions and actions, learn from our experiences and lessons, forgive ourselves and others, and leave the past in the past forever.
We have overcome many obstacles in the past, and will face many uncertain factors in the future. By transforming fear and anxiety into cherishing and gratitude for life, increasing awareness, we can learn how to face death and prepare ourselves to enter the realm of death peacefully.
By learning how to face the past and the future, we can better understand the needs of the present. What life needs most is connection, but our unique feelings, emotions, imaginations, and desires are obstacles to connection. Everyone has their own feelings and experiences that cannot be replaced by others, and there is no specific unified way of doing things. Therefore, we must adapt to the various aspects of life and interact with others with respect.
The environment we are in, including our emotions and bodies, is like a school where we must pass the exam to receive a diploma. However, we must answer the questions ourselves because the answers provided by others do not apply to us, and the consequences of cheating are serious errors. Therefore, we need to work hard to learn and pass the exam, achieve good results, let the rich knowledge promote the growth of consciousness, and face more tests in life with enough wisdom and courage. If we fail the exam, we need to examine our shortcomings and work harder to keep up.
Laziness has its consequences, because we only have this one life. If we miss this time, we don’t know when we will get another chance. We must cherish life and try our best to live every moment well.
Every action in the present is the cause of the future, and only with consciousness can we predict the future based on the present. The questions on the life examination paper are to test our ability to predict, because the stronger our ability to predict, the more secure our life will be.
Being able to score high in the test of life is what makes a mature person. If we can live a healthy and happy life with awareness and wisdom, we can live a long life. By deeply experiencing life, we will feel no regrets when we die. In this way, we can pass the final test of life and live a fulfilling life.
