Middle-aged

What is the best state for a person after middle age?

By LunaPublished 8 months ago 1 min read

If your first half of life was a complete mess, then in the second half of your life, you need to reshuffle and find your original self.

A person has only two strokes: one stroke writes the first half of life, and the other stroke writes the second half.

The first half of one's life is about persistence, while the second half is about letting go.

The best state for a person over middle age is to allow others to be others and to allow oneself to be oneself.

True strength is not about confrontation but about allowing everything to happen naturally. The path is different from others; why be moved by the wind?

In the second half of life, what matters is health, not money; what counts is mindset, not desire. In the first half of one's life, one doesn't know much; in the second half, there is much that one doesn't need to understand.

Whatever life gives you, take it on.

Whatever life takes away, just watch.

Let go of those groundless obsessions, and from then on, every day will be a good day.

In a hundred years of life, there is no need to rush. When you reach the halfway point,

Match your life with low standards and your soul with high standards.

Let the wind blow and let the rain fall.

In the gentle passage of time, every step brings peace.

May everyone remain unworldly, unambitious, and enjoy the lofty breeze.
