順其自然的美好Let All Things Happen Naturally
     人生所有的事情，都來的很自然，人生百態，順其自然是最適當的心境。其實，萬事不必太在意，擁有時請珍惜，失去時不說遺憾，過多的在乎，會將人生的樂趣減半，看淡一切，也就增添生命的盎然。有緣無分、有分無緣，都是生命中不圓滿的缺憾，它不應成為我們人生的途中，走不出的困惑和茫然。有失敗，就會有成功，有完美，就會有遺憾，且讓一切順其自然，保持順其自然的心境面對生活，面對記憶，或面對正在發生的人事物吧！曾經擁有的，不要忘記，已經得到的，要更加珍惜，屬於自己的，不要放棄，已經失去的，就留作回憶，想要得到的，就要更加努力。
      順其自然，是處之泰然。人無完人，每一個人都是在失敗和錯誤中，不斷的摸索，變得更聰明，更成熟、睿智的。當然，萬事隨緣，並不是在看破紅塵後，一切無所謂，更不是遊戲人生，而是培養一種博大的淡薄情懷，開闊的平靜精神，樂觀向上的心態，溫柔善良的性格，和一顆寬容的心！
      順其自然，是把握每一個瞬間，試着去做，去面對每一個昨天、今天和明天。事情總是有因有果，人與事、事與人，總有千絲萬縷的聯繫。有些事情，並沒有我們想像中的那麼複雜，當然，也不都簡單快樂，只要我們過得開心，健康，平安，這才是最重要的。現代許多人，忙於生計，心情浮躁，晝夜顛倒，長時間超時工作，於是，便積勞成疾。我們要在這世界上，活得灑脫，當內心產生憂愁之際，順其自然，就是最佳的選擇，順乎本性，不失為聰明之舉。凡事順其自然，不必刻意強求，反倒能有一番收穫。俗話說：「有心栽花花不開，無心插柳柳成蔭。」順其自然，就是冥冥之中，自有天意的安排。
     有一個佛教故事中說，禪院裡的草地，有一大片枯黃了，小和尚有些著急，對他的師父說：「我們趕緊撒點草籽吧，實在是太難看了！」師父告訴他：「不急，甚麼時候都能撒，隨時！」中秋的時候，師父把草籽買了回來，交給小和尚去播種。秋風起了，草籽邊撒，就邊被風飄走了。小和尚這時十分焦急地對師父喊：「不好了，許多草籽，都被吹走了。」師父很平靜地說：「沒關係，吹走的多半是空的，撒下去也發不了芽。擔甚麼心呢？隨性！」撒完草籽，小和尚發現有許多小鳥飛來啄食。他非常驚慌地告訴師父：「草籽都會被小鳥吃了，這下沒戲唱了！」師父依然很平靜：「沒關係，種子多，吃不完！隨遇！」半夜的時候，下了一陣暴雨，小和尚一大早就衝進禪房，「師父，這下真的完了！好多草籽，被雨水沖走了！」師父說：「沖到哪兒，就在哪兒發芽。隨緣！」一個星期過去了，原本光禿禿的地面，居然長出許多青翠的草苗，一些原來沒播種的角落，也泛出綠意。小和尚高興得直拍手，師父點頭：「隨喜！」
     由此看來，當遇到困難之時，找不出好的解決辦法，就讓它順其自然。畢竟「謀事在人，成事在天。」老子在《道德經》中說：「人法地，地法天，天法道，道法自然」，意思是說，人受制於地，地受制於天，天受制於規則，規則受制於自然。自然就是客觀存在的世界，及不變的規律。道法自然，就是做事的方法，必須順應大自然的規律。古詩中說：「春有百花秋有月，夏有涼風冬有雪。若無閒事掛心頭，便是人間好時節。」一年四季都有很多讓人開心、喜悅的景色，但也有人絞盡腦汁，殫精竭慮，寢食難安，徹夜不眠。其實，與其百般思量，不如順其自然，反倒能柳暗花明又一村。「人算不如天算」，一切都是最好的安排。
We are doers, creators of our destiny, and we make things happen. But, imagine that, we might see a man who had his life turned upside down by a heart attack; the woman who lost her father to death and had to drop everything; the family who lost their home to a hurricane; the entrepreneur that was doing well until the economy collapsed, and the cyclist who was hit by a car. Things happen every day, where we think we’re in control but we’re really not. There’s so much out of our control that what we think is control is really an illusion.
Stepping back and allowing things to happen means things will take care of themselves, and our needs will also be met. And we’ve done no work. We don’t have to worry about shaping things, about controlling something that doesn’t want to be controlled. We don’t have to push, and fix leaks, and put out fires. We just let things work on their own. They happen. We might want things to go a certain way, to a certain outcome. But, things will happen, but it’s not the way we planned. The outcome might be completely different than what we’d hoped for. When we calm down, and accept that the outcome is different, it would even be wonderful and surprising. Surprises are good. Instead of trying to make things work the way we want them to work, we just watch them work. We’ve seen things work well without our controlling.
Let all things happen naturally. What we are looking for will naturally find us. Don’t force anything. Let all things unfold because that is the only way we can do. Letting things happen creates freedom, not force. There is no need to rush things, and no need to control the situation. Let the universe deal with it. If things are supposed to happen, they will happen. And if they aren’t meant to happen, they won’t. One of the biggest mistakes we make in life is that we try too hard to control situations and people. We worry about things like “When will he finally ask me out?” or “What am I going to say when she tells me she’s leaving the company?” We try to picture how a situation should go, or how someone should react, and then we set out to make those things happen. Life doesn’t work that way. Things don’t go according to our plans and they never will. We often upset others and wind up getting hurt by our own actions. And in the end, we have no one to blame but ourselves. The truth is that we have no way of knowing how a situation will unfold, so all we can do is trust ourselves and trust nature.
