Everyone who ventures abroad hopes for a smooth journey, preferably earning as much money as possible to justify the challenges faced along the way. However, reality is often a mix of simplicity and difficulty, and things may not always unfold as expected.
For ordinary individuals like us, there are three major concerns when striving abroad.
The numerous challenges faced when striving abroad are undeniable. Leaving behind family and venturing to a distant land inevitably brings worries and anxieties.
But for the sake of earning a living and providing a better life for our loved ones, we endure. However, if after overcoming various obstacles to reach abroad, one finds themselves unable to earn a decent income, it's the most heartbreaking scenario.
Despite the common saying that jobs are hard to come by, sometimes even lowering one's job standards doesn't guarantee financial stability. This can lead to despair, questioning why despite all efforts, success remains elusive. Yet, those who still hold onto hope may give themselves more time, wondering if perseverance might eventually lead to financial success.
The second concern when abroad is when one's health unexpectedly deteriorates.
Health is the cornerstone of everything, especially when abroad. Without good health, not only work but even sustaining life becomes challenging.
Witnessing compatriots' health deteriorate within just a few years of striving abroad weighs heavily on my heart. Besides advising friends to take better care of themselves, strike a balance between work and rest, I sincerely suggest not pushing too hard for the sake of money. Money can never be earned indefinitely, but our health, under prolonged strain, may indeed suffer.
A stable and happy family provides a sense of security, yet some friends striving abroad, although appearing cheerful on the surface, are burdened with immense stress internally. Part of this stress stems from prolonged separation and conflicts with their families back home.
The increasing lack of understanding from family members towards their efforts abroad adds to the pressure. Sometimes, one may consider being tougher and indifferent, but upon reflection, finds it impossible. Family ties are lifelong bonds.
How to maintain communication and relations with family back home after going abroad is a complex issue. If one enjoys a good relationship with family after going abroad, it's crucial to cherish it. If relations are strained, acceptance is key, and further complaints are unnecessary. Each person has their own path to walk, and in this lifetime, the most important thing is to take care of oneself.
Life is an adventure into the unknown, and no one knows the ending in advance.
The unpredictable nature of life means there's no need to cling too tightly. No one can take away anything, so why dwell on specific people, moments, or matters?
The greatest fear in life is to be preoccupied with everything yet hold onto nothing.
The lost scenery, separated individuals, and unfulfilled desires all reside at the end of fate.
Why hold onto attachments when what's meant to be will be, and what will leave won't stay. Letting go of obsessions and going with the flow is the best way to live.
Ultimately, life is about pleasing oneself.
With limited time left, do what you want and live the life you desire.
Work diligently, but also live joyfully, running with a smile towards the sun.
Love others in moderation, love oneself unconditionally, learn to please oneself, and everywhere you go, everything you see will be beautiful.
