Is True Strength Found in Acceptance?

There is no permanent peak and no eternal trough. True strength isn't about forgetting, but about accepting. Accept the impermanence of the world, embrace loneliness and frustration, welcome the sudden sense of powerlessness, acknowledge your own imperfections, and make peace with confusion, anxiety, and regrets.

Life is like a dream, and nothing in the world is eternal. There's no everlasting peak, nor an everlasting trough. Life is a magnificent journey, with both high mountains and steep cliffs, as well as shallow streams. True strength doesn't mean forgetting hardships and pains, but learning to accept and face them calmly.

Life is like a game of chess, ever-changing. We must learn to accept its impermanence, just as we accept the natural changing of seasons and the alternation of day and night. Loneliness and frustration are like wind and rain on a journey; though they make people feel cold, they also teach resilience. The sudden feeling of powerlessness is like the darkness under the night sky; though it's confusing, it also breeds new hope.

We also need to accept our own imperfections, because perfection is just an unattainable fantasy. Everyone has their flaws and defects, and it's these imperfections that form our unique personalities. Accept the anxiety, confusion, and regrets, because they are the marks of growth and the only way for us to mature.

In life, if you can be open-minded, it's heaven; if you cannot, it's hell. What you care about often becomes a shackle that tortures you; what you worry about often becomes a burden that troubles you. In fact, no matter how big the matter is, as long as you let nature take its course, it will be nothing but a passing cloud.

The reason you suffer is often because you're too persistent; the reason you're confused is because you care too much about gains and losses. Losing in one place means gaining in another; gains and losses in life are nothing but a cycle. Do your best and leave the rest to fate. If I get it, it's my luck. If I lose it, it's my destiny. Expecting too much will only lead you into endless pain.

Choosing to let go isn't about forgiving others, but about freeing yourself. In this world, no one can trap you except yourself. The ups and downs in the outside world may make you uneasy, but as long as you have firm beliefs, you can overcome all difficulties.

No one being interested in you or your skills not being as good as others shouldn't be reasons for you to give up. You must learn to calm down, do your own thing, and let your inner passion and determination become your driving force to move forward.

Yesterday's abyss, today's shallow talk. Although the road is far, you will reach your destination if you keep walking; although the task is difficult, you can accomplish it if you keep trying. As long as we're not afraid of difficulties and move forward courageously, we can leave our own wonderful chapter in the journey of life.
