Cultivating My Garden
Finding Peace and Power in Being Alone
I'm used to being alone, and I find it more fulfilling. If a movie interests me, I go see it by myself. Traveling alone can happen on a whim, without having to discuss the time and destination with others, let alone consider their preferences.
Loneliness isn't a problem for me, and friends aren't a dependence. I know myself well enough to know what I want and enjoy. That's enough, and I'm very happy in my self-knowledge.
Only by living a good life can one know what they truly need. Other people’s thoughts are just icing on the cake at most; there’s really no need to care too much about them.
Life has many happy and lively moments, but it also often includes loneliness that isn't understood, just as there is day and night in the world.
Loneliness is a normal part of life. As human beings, we all need to face it.
When you're alone, it's best to talk to your heart and be with your thoughts. Being alone is a form of practice in itself.
How one treats oneself is how the world often responds over time.
Life is a practice of constantly accepting and perfecting yourself. Only by reconciling with yourself again and again, facing your shortcomings and strengths, and accepting your abilities and situations, can you develop a stronger heart.
Life is short, so instead of spending time trying to please others, you might as well use your time and energy to improve yourself.
Enjoy your solitude when you are alone. Use your time alone to develop your hobbies and cultivate a personal space where you won’t be disturbed.
You should save some energy to study, exercise, love, and pursue the life you want. Don't waste your energy on painful social interactions or on people you dislike. Things that seem salvageable are often not worth it upon closer inspection. Clinging to past happiness is a fruitless endeavor. Let the past go. Love life, and do some happy little things.
