There is a lack of self-love that is hard for the world to notice. This phenomenon occurs mostly in the group of schoolboys.

The specific manifestation is that crazy hard work, extreme self-discipline, desperation. But inside very unhappy, unhappy. Outwardly glamorous, inwardly fragile, too strong, living screwed up.

Many of them will achieve some success and accomplishments in the worldly realm, but at heart they are still not self-loving.

Only, wrapped in the veneer of motivation, hard work, self-discipline, most people are very difficult to detect it, and thought they were living a very happy, happy life.

Most of the schoolboys are very eager to succeed and have such high expectations of themselves that it is hard to affirm themselves from the bottom of their hearts. Especially those young schoolmasters who have not yet awakened, most of them are in the madness of externalization and comparison.

Crazy external demand, comparison, is a common disease of the whole society, the unawakening of the school bully group is no exception.

For them, without the support of external success, they will feel that they are not good enough.

And the deeper reason for feeling not good enough is not enough self-love.

It is not that motivation, diligence, self-discipline is not good, but to look at the heart, look at the efforts of the underlying driving force in the end is what.

There are too many people in the academic community, desperate to work hard, are driven by fear to go.

So what is it that they fear?

Their fear is that they are not good enough to outperform their peers. On a deeper level, it's the fear that they don't deserve to be loved.

To put it more bluntly, they work hard to be loved. The desire to gain love is precisely because of the lack of self-love in their bones.

The truth, however, is that people who don't change their mindset, who haven't broken through their fear, cannot truly love themselves. Even if one achieves great success on a worldly level, one is still not self-loving at heart.

If you look outward for love, you will never find it. One must look inward and love oneself. Those who do not love themselves can never be happy, happy.

As to when one awakens, it is up to one's own creation.

Blessings, may the awakening come soon!

大地是美丽的,大地是值得的。 愿天地万物,众生吉祥,幸福安康!
