As the saying goes, one's greatest enemy is oneself. If a person cannot overcome his own weakness and control his own character, he will never be the best self.
1. The human brain is constantly evolving
Emotions are a barometer around us. It allows us to experience all kinds of tastes and feelings in life. And the biggest enemy of people is themselves, but also because sometimes people are very emotional. If this emotionality cannot be effectively overcome, then we are controlled by emotions and unable to make the most effective decisions.
Psychology has found that controlling our emotions is the instinctual brain. It is a kind of primary thinking that we have evolved over the years in harsh environments. For example, we are happy and happy because the environment gives us new experiences and stimulation.
And we are sad and happy because some unpleasant things happen around us. Emotions automatically regulate our brains, allowing us to form initial self-feelings and judgments.
With the development of people’s minds and the improvement of the safety of our surrounding environment, our brains are also evolving, and then the crawling brain is derived. The crawling brain is more rational and rational, and it allows us to deal with things around us more complexly. It requires us to mobilize more mind and energy to deal with it, and help us make the most correct judgment at the moment in a complex environment.
If a person cannot manage his emotions well, then our brain stays at the stage of the instinctive brain. Only when we continue to think and understand our emotions will we have a more developed mind and will not be troubled by emotions. .
The crawling brain is the perception and control of emotions. When we can understand the deep motivations behind our emotions, we will not be confused by the superficial emotions, but find our inner motivations and needs through emotions. It is us. Emotional engine and system power.
2. The greatest enemy of man is himself, because many human weaknesses need to be overcome
Secondly, the reason why a person's greatest enemy is himself is, in essence, it is also due to the weakness of human nature. There are seven weaknesses in Buddhism, greed, anger, ignorance, anger, and slowness. Each weakness is a stumbling block to our growth and progress.
To grow up, one must overcome these weaknesses so that we can control ourselves step by step and move towards a higher mind. Lao Tzu also said that the five colors are blinding; the five tones are deaf; the five flavors are refreshing.
In the environment where people live, they are actually faced with various temptations. If we are blindly immersed in the world of the senses without deep thinking, we will be controlled by desires, and we will feel a kind of emptiness, loneliness and boredom.
Perhaps we have all seen the movie "Spirited Away". The parents of Spirited Away were too greedy at the time and turned into pigs. When we lose awe of the surrounding environment, we cannot control our own desires. You will become drifting with the flow and lose your own wisdom.
And if we want to overcome our weaknesses, we must learn to be cautious and meditate. This is an important way for us to improve ourselves and overcome human weakness. The reason why people need to meditate is essentially to allow blind thoughts to settle down, and to find the root of what happened, we can find the corresponding exit and the way to solve the problem.
3. Control one's own xinxing: one's life is to practice
A person’s life is practice. Perhaps this sentence sounds a little fictitious. The essence of this sentence is to control the process of self-discipline and let the heart dominate our lives, instead of letting our weakness and emotions control our life.
The reason why many people fail and become more and more mediocre is that they cannot control their own hearts. The mind is flexible and flexible. The mind is connected to the surrounding environment one by one. When our heart and the surrounding environment merge into one, that is, we live in the present, we will not be anxious, let alone panic, but water. When you come to cover, you will stand in the future, and you will automatically and spontaneously have wisdom.
This is surrender. First learn to accept and accept everything that happens, and then on the basis of acceptance, do not escape, accuse, fear, or fear, but face it bravely. The presence of gods on the scene emphasizes that it is brought to the present Our strength and greatness.
If a person can conquer ourselves, we can conquer our weaknesses, learn to be responsible for ourselves, and gradually improve ourselves. We can become extremely powerful from the environment of dealing with things around us again and again, and moreover, we will have a keen mind and a sharp mind due to the tempering of the environment. Judgment, this is to let the xinxing gradually play a role.
Life is a practice. It also means that we learn to let go and ignore any honors and achievements, hurts and failures, but understand that this is a hurried moment in life and does not mean anything, and the only thing we have is the heart. The guidance leads us to a holy place of peace.
