Facing one's own reality is the foundation of being a real person, and it is the starting line for self-discovery, self-exploration, and the pursuit of spiritual maturity. It enables you to face up to your own shortcomings, adjust your expectations, and prevent you from being too ambitious when you are a person and doing things.

Everyone has their own life, whether you are fat, thin, tall, short, poor, cheap, rich, or expensive, you must face yourself calmly and choose your own life and career. A person who dares to face reality will see himself more clearly, which is not only the starting point of your life and work, but also a door and window of your soul.

There is such a story:

A young man goes to visit a man who is known as a saint. He lived in a secluded forest on the side of the mountain. Just as they were talking about what virtue was. A bandit struggles to climb the mountain with crutches. Kneel before the saint and say, "O saint, help me to be freed from my sins, which are so sinful." ”

The saint replied, "My sins are just as great. ”

The bandit said, "But I'm a thief and a murderer." ”

The saint said, "I am also a thief and a murderer." ”

The bandits said: "I have committed countless crimes. ”

The saint replied: "The crimes I have committed cannot be counted either." ”

The bandit stood up, his eyes fixed on the saint with a strange look. Then he left him and went down the hill disappointed.

The young man turned to the saint and asked, "Why have you accused yourself of a trumped-up crime?" Don't you see that this person has lost trust in you when he leaves? ”

"Yes," said the saint, "he no longer trusts me, but he is relieved and relieved when he leaves, and what he needs is to see himself clearly." ”

At this moment, they heard the bandits singing in the distance.

Since then, this young man has learned to face reality, pursue spiritual maturity in continuous self-discovery and self-exploration, and walk more steadily and faster on the tortuous road of life.

Another example, at a weekend dance party, a slim sophomore with beautiful hair and a shawl danced on the boiling dance floor, like a new lotus in June.

After being surrounded by countless gazes and endlessly spinning, she got tired and sat aside to rest.

At this time, a boy came over and bowed slightly to her and stretched out his hand: "Can I ask you to do a dance?" "He was polite, like an ancient prince, and people couldn't bear to refuse.

Although the girl was already a little tired, she stood up and stretched out her hand in the face of the invitation of the "prince". As the two of them stood face to face on the dance floor, waiting for the music to play for a moment, she suddenly realized that the boy was a little shorter than her. The girl thinks that if any boy is as tall as her, it is already very short. "I'm taller than you!" The girl spoke softly and smiled, like the joy of victory when she was a child and her friends were taller and shorter. But the boy in front of him is not his friend, just a dance partner he occasionally meets at the ball. The girl immediately regretted that she had no way to hold back. Her face flushed.

This happened a little unexpectedly, the boy was a little caught off guard, he was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face didn't have time to fade, and a new wave of laughter actually floated up. He was not annoyed and said, "Really? Then I'm up for the challenge. ”

The last four words are a little heavier. The girl was speechless and smiled apologetically, avoiding his gaze, but a little nervously catching the message from him. I saw that he subconsciously straightened his waist and said proudly: "Put the articles I have published under my feet, and I will be taller than you." ”

After the ball, they became lovers.

Later, although they were not able to get together because of a mistake, the girl never forgot him, and did not forget the scene at the dance that year, especially the two words that were neither humble nor arrogant: "Then I will meet the challenge." "Put my published articles under my feet, and I'll be taller than you."

People should face up to their own shortcomings, adjust their expectations, pursue a healthy mentality, and face themselves calmly, which is the greatest gain.

Everyone may have this experience: when throwing the shot put, if you want to throw far, don't throw too high, the person who throws too high is often not the farthest throw, when crossing the road, you have to look forward, always look around, and look up to the sky from time to time, the car to you you don't know. Being a man and doing things can't be like throwing a shot put, thinking about "high" and forgetting the distance, looking around like crossing the street.

A true person does not shy away from his flaws, but can face them squarely. To be a man is to face your own reality, so that you can live your own style!
