Be Wise, Stay Calm

As you grow older, you begin to grasp life’s lessons. One important lesson is to handle situations with wisdom. If someone hasn’t shared something with you, it’s often better to act as if you’re unaware and avoid probing later.

Likewise, if you find yourself excluded from a gathering or event, it’s wise to gracefully accept it and not dwell on the matter.

In youth, being left out or uninformed can stir up feelings of disappointment or even anger, but with age comes an appreciation for simplicity and tranquility. You may start to prefer being left in the dark about certain matters or opting out of involvement in other people’s affairs.

Maintaining sobriety becomes crucial. Some individuals may only bring negativity into your life, and it’s essential to recognize this and distance yourself accordingly. As middle age approaches, shedding the burdens of obsession and attachment becomes paramount. Instead, strive for clarity and composure.

Understand your place as merely a small part of the grand scheme of others’ lives, and avoid arrogance or self-righteousness.

Throughout life, you’ll encounter a variety of people. Learn to cherish those who bring positivity and value, while gracefully disengaging from those who do not. Interacting with others is a straightforward affair: match their level of enthusiasm, refrain from being overly accommodating or confrontational, and maintain your sense of self in the process.

Embrace your solitude when necessary, and allow events to unfold naturally in the lives of others.
