Happy with 'where to stand' but not forget 'where to go

Look low to "Heal Jai," look high to "go on."..Where is the thin line between 'self-sufficiency' and 'greed'?

We are often taught to be "satisfied with what is available" (to be happy).

But we are also pressured to be "ambitious" (not to lag behind).

Until many people are confused that...

Okay, should I sit smiling with curry on the side of the road, or should I run hard to eat steak on a high-rise?

If satisfied...Does that mean I'm lazy?

If you want more...Does that mean I'm greedy?

Let me clarify this thin line:

1.The line between "contentment" vs "inertia"

Contentment: It's happiness on the way. You keep walking, but you walk with a smile, not with distress. You know the goal is far away, but you're happy with the old shoes you're wearing right now.

Laziness is the use of the word "enough" as an excuse to stop walking, when you have the strength, the potential, and the responsibility.

2. The line between "driving force" vs "greed"

Ambition: The urge to make life better, to take care of loved ones, to make good, to grow, to compete with "yesterday."

Greed: It is the desire, the endless, to fill a black hole in a heart that is never full, it is a race against "others" and is ready to destroy others to gain it, which brings heat.

Summary of the secret formula of balance:

Use "high eye" to determine the direction.

But use "low-minded" to recharge.

"Don't take pleasure as an excuse to be lazy."

"Don't use ambition as an excuse for selfishness."

A balanced life is...

The "leg" is a relentless step forward.

But "heart" is indispensably satisfied with the present.

This is it...The Art of Living a Real Life

# Looking high to keep going # Look low to be satisfied # Life balance # Heal heart # Self-improvement article# Consciousness

Look low...To know how 'lucky' we are to have today.

Look high...To know we're more 'good' tomorrow.

Don't let 'self-sufficiency' become an excuse for 'lazy people'.

And don't let 'craving' become the trap of 'insatiable people.
