In my life, I very often deal with things with the nature of up and down, though I believe by myself that there are many things I can absolutely accomplish.
For example, I could study and be successful in the field, but a few years later, I could not be interested in any more in studying. I could begin to work on a project and, in the beginning, that could be highly successful and before the project has finished, I could change my mind to stop it.
There are many similar matters like I write above examples in my life. And I don’t totally like by myself for it. So, why have been those things happening? I was asking and answering this question for several years, already. This morning, I found the Zone! It is because of my mind, which is based in the Buddha’s teachings. How? Let me explain you. First of all, I am not a social religious person but I deeply read and learn the religions thoughts, especially the Buddha’s teachings. And then, the Buddha’s teachings are always based upon things like – ‘loving-kindness,’ ‘tolerance,’ ‘sympathy,’ ‘empathy,’ ‘middle path,’ ‘everything is impermanent,’ and so on and so forth.
All of those things are also painful truths and badly good enough. For example, I totally believe and it is also universal truth that – ‘Everything is impermanent.’ While I am working on something so hard and also having highly successes, alternatively, I begin to consider the idea of ‘nothing is permanent.’ Whatever it happened, that will be erased one day; whatever it rise, that will fall one day; whatever I gain today, I will lose it one day, sooner or later; etc. So, what I gonna do? I have to try almost nothing because any success will be gone one day. Even by myself, I will die any time, any day, sooner or later. When that idea comes into my mind, I often begin to stop whatever I am doing, happening, being successful, gaining or losing. This becomes key reason for me to stop almost all my works.
Alright. As the next step, what I realize is – though I deeply concern with religious thoughts, I am not a priest or a monk, for the time being. I am a man, a married man with three children, which means I must think and act like a man. I have to do what I have to do. I have to try on things what I want to accomplish till the last second of my life. The important thing is, to remember by myself that - to distinguish between real, practical life matters and religious thoughts.
Though it will be impermanent one day, there are many things to try to accomplish (in the bottom line) to be permanent at present. I will prepare to enter into the ring.
Thank you and have a good day!
