In this impetuous society, everything depends on money, which has become a famous saying. Everyone has desires, which is a good thing and gives people motivation. But excessive desires will control people's thoughts and souls, and they will lose more than they gain.

I have a fellow countryman who works as a supervisor in a company and does a good job. The company thinks highly of him. Popular, serious about work, and fond of learning. The company plans to regard him as a key training target. At this time, his level of contact with people also increased, and he saw others wearing famous watches, carrying famous bags, and playing golf. He was so envious that he went crazy at this time, regardless of his own financial situation. Buying famous brands leads to high consumption. But what should I do if I am short of money? You can't do anything illegal. Then work part-time and find ways to make money. Life has become two lines, buying good things and working part-time and overtime to make money. Within three months, I was admitted to the hospital with high blood pressure and coronary heart disease, and the high blood pressure reached 180. The doctor told him to take a good rest, otherwise he might not be able to see the sun next year.

See how scary it is to be controlled by desire. We are not afraid of desires, appropriate desires can motivate us. But we must not be controlled by desire. Once controlled by desire, we become slaves of desire, no longer independent, no pioneering spirit. It's like being possessed by a demon in martial arts novels.

How to solve the problem of being controlled by desire?

1. Make a plan and execute it according to the plan. Work within a plan. Not participating in unplanned matters will leave more time for yourself, relax better, and reduce more work pressure.

2. Exercise. Take a walk for an hour every day. By taking a walk, you can better regulate your emotions and relax yourself. At the same time, physical fitness can be further improved.

3. Reading. Especially books about Taoism. Taoist culture is broad and profound, advocating doing nothing but doing everything. Can quickly improve one's cultural accomplishment and keep one's mind pure. You can suppress your desires and further eliminate them.

Let us cultivate our minds and nature, stay away from external temptations, and do not lose ourselves.
