人生不如意十之八九,如意一二,很多人都对现在的生活不满,不如意,这是为什么呢?很多人苦苦思索,穷尽一生未有答案,其实这都是有原因的。 Life is often unsatisfactory, with only one or two moments of contentment. Many people are dissatisfied with their current lives, wondering why. Despite much contemplation throughout their lives, some never find an answer. In reality, there are reasons for this discontent.
一命 One Fate: Fate is predetermined at birth. As the saying goes, 'In life, there is a time for everything. It is essential to accept one's fate, as it is determined by birthdate and time, commonly known as the 'Ba Zi' or Eight Characters. It is unchangeable. It is crucial not to fight against fate but to work with it.
二运 Two Opportunities: Fortunes can change. Having good fate does not necessarily mean having good fortune. Fortune, like the seasons, varies throughout life. Some may experience prosperity in early, middle, or late years. Opportunities are akin to luck, with ups and downs. It's crucial to wait for the right time, seize opportunities, and progress positively during peak times, stepping back during challenging times. Major life cycles occur every ten years, with smaller cycles every five years. Overall, waiting for the right moment and seizing opportunities is the key to success.
三风水 Three Feng Shui: Feng Shui is the wonder of nature. Good Feng Shui nurtures, while bad Feng Shui harms. It emphasizes the significance of a favorable environment. Learning basic Feng Shui knowledge is essential to understand the impact of one's surroundings.
四积阴德 Four Accumulate Virtue: Establishing accomplishments through goodness. Good deeds bring good rewards, and virtue attracts companionship. A virtuous life ensures the support of others. The saying 'A thousand people's accusations, not sick but dead' underscores the importance of accumulating virtue. By doing good and avoiding evil, one can extend life, increase wealth, and protect future generations.
五读书 Five Read Books: Knowledge changes destiny. In today's society, knowledge plays a vital role. Reading enriches one with knowledge and culture, guiding them away from life's pitfalls. Reading is a powerful tool for personal and societal improvement.
六名 Six Name: Names and titles. A bestowed name can be as valuable as treasures. Famous individuals often have names that reflect their virtues or characteristics. Reflect on your own name and its significance.
七相 Seven Appearance: Facial features and demeanor. One's appearance is influenced by their inner qualities. Facial features indicate the present and future state of an individual.
八敬神 Eight Respect the Divine: Lift your head three feet, and there are gods. Gods represent higher beings, existing in the universe or in higher dimensions. The universe is like the Tai Chi, vast and boundless.
九交贵人 Nine Connect with Influential People: Associating with virtuous and influential individuals. Moral, wise, powerful, wealthy, healthy, beautiful, and well-informed people are considered influential. Building connections with such individuals depends on fate and shared encounters.
十养生 Ten Health Maintenance: The way of nurturing life. Diet, exercise, meditation, sleep, emotions, daily routines, clothing, massage, bathing, habits, and hobbies all contribute to maintaining good health.

人生不如意十之八九,如意一二,很多人都对现在的生活不满,不如意,这是为什么呢?很多人苦苦思索,穷尽一生未有答案,其实这都是有原因的。
一命 命是先天注定。******正所谓命里有时终须有,命里无时莫强求。命就是一个人的出生年月日时,也叫生辰八字,是更改不了的,十年寒窗无人问,一朝成名天下知。所以与天斗与地斗千万不要与命斗。
二运 运势可以变化,命好不如运好。********运气犹如春夏秋冬,人有旦夕祸福,有人一生旺,有人一声衰,早年旺,中年旺,晚年旺。甘罗十二为秦相,姜太公八十遇文王。孔明初出茅庐,范蠡泛舟西湖。机不可失失不再来。旺运积极奋进,衰运退避三舍。十年一大运,五年一小运。总之等待时机,抓住机遇,功成身退。
三风水 风水是自然之妙。********地吉苗旺,宅吉人旺。山清水秀出美人,穷山恶水出刁民,说的都是风水的重要性,好的风水养人,坏的风水害人,所以我们要学习一些基础风水知识。
四积阴德 建立功业积善成德。*****善有善报恶有恶报,德不孤必有邻,千夫所指,不病而死,积德行善,必有余庆,莫以善小而不为,莫以恶小而为之,积阴德可以助人长寿,增加你的财富,甚至庇佑子孙后代。
五读书 知识改变命运。******我们都知道现在的社会知识的重要性,读好书有知识有文化,就能有很好的前途,人生也能少走很多弯路,万般皆下品,惟有读书高。
六名 名字称号,赐子千金,不如赐子一名。******刘德华:德才兼备。宋美龄:美好年龄。董建华,何厚铧:港澳归华,问问自己什么名。
七相 相貌仪表,相由心生,善心生善相。******骨骼定一生之荣枯,气色看行年之休囚。所以人的面相可以看出一个人目前和未来的状态。
八敬神 举头三尺有神灵。******比人高级的存在就是神,神其实就是宇宙中高于人类的存在,或者在更高维度的空间,或者在更深层次的太空,宇宙就是太极,其大无外,其小无内。
九交贵人 结交贵人你就会出类拔萃。******有道德,有智慧,有权利,有财富,有健康,有美丽,有信息等这些人都是贵人,交贵人要看缘分,有缘千里来相会,无缘对面不相逢。
十养生 养生之道。******饮食,运动,静坐,夜卧,情绪,起居,衣着,按摩洗澡,习惯爱好都是养生之道。

I lost 50% of my smell to covid lately (still improving). At the time I lost my sense of smell it was devastating because eating good food is a little joy in my life. And I thought about the time I am complaining about my husband's body ordour and smelly roadside stalls and toilets. I would give almost anything to smell those again.

I always thought of Jesus' word "Live a Day at a Time". Live everyday slowly, in the moment. Come what may. Enjoy the simple things, both good and bad.

I also read that human brains are basically made out of 2 variations. Optimistic or pessimistic. There's no way to change it because it is genetic neural structure. Optimistic people are driven by want. Pessimistic people are driven by fear.

Unfortunately I inherit a pessimist brain. Critical thinking but with an overthinking mental that always imagine the worst just so I don't lose my mind. Then I learn about amor fati. To embrace my fate, because I have no choice, this is the card you are given, brooding will not help. Time still passes.

The point here is, just find what works for you. That gives you peace. Some people compare themselves to less fortunate people to feel happy and calm. Some just focus on sensual enjoyment, trying to drown out themselves until they can accept their fate. Some keep themselves busy so they don't spend time thinking about meaning of life. Some hit the lottery ticket, they are simple minded, and they don't think much of things just on the day or week or month, what their current want is.

Point is, find your ikigai, or not. doesn't matter. Just do what works for you, there is no fixed KPI. not everyone wants to he happy. some wants to be fulfilled. some wants to be angry, or any strong emotion cause they like the thrill of feeling alive. our parents give us this life, we just run with it. What is there to think about. Everything is random, nothing matters, except what you focus on now.
