You need to understand something.
The reason your life is miserable ultimately comes down to you yourself.
Because you’re not smart enough, not strong enough — you lack a clear way of thinking and the ability to create wealth. That is why misfortune keeps descending upon you again and again, and because you don’t have the wealth or capability to handle it, everything accumulates into the various sufferings of your life.
Think of a simple, kind-hearted herdsman who is constantly harassed by wild animals. Complaining endlessly and drowning in grief accomplishes nothing.
The steppe will always have wild beasts. That is simply reality.
So what the herdsman truly needs to do is train himself — sharpen his aim. That is the real answer.
This understanding, from me, Master Chi, applies to nearly every area of your life.
And when you truly grasp what I’ve just said, you will naturally begin to undergo tremendous change and growth.
From there, you will gradually stop caring about useless things and useless people.
Instead, with single-minded focus, you will pour all of your energy into four things: your growth, your wealth, your career, and your health. Get these four right, and your life will be prosperous, noble, and at peace.
