I don't just live in today, I regret for yesterday's mistakes and fear for tomorrow's unknown. From childhood to adulthood, I have always been an annoyance expert.My troubles are not only many, but also complicated. There are many worries among them, but most of them are cranky.There is almost nothing I don't worry about, and I don't even worry about whether I'm missing something. Two years ago, I started a new lifestyle.This way of life requires some self-examination of one's faults and few of his virtues, which hopefully lead to a thorough understanding of oneself.In this way, the causes of all afflictions are clearly presented.

I found myself not living for today.On the one hand, I am regretting the mistakes of yesterday, and on the other hand, I am afraid of the future.People keep telling me: "Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday." But it has no effect on me.I was also advised to keep myself as busy as possible so that I would have no time to worry.I admit that there is some truth to these statements, but it is difficult to apply them to myself. One day, the solution seemed to fall from the sky.The time was 7 o'clock in the evening on May 31, 1945. On the platform of the Northwest Railway Company, we saw off our friends.It was the most important moment in my life and I will always remember it in my heart.

At that time, the war was not over yet, and the station was crowded with people.After dropping off my friend, I walked along the tracks towards the locomotive.Following the huge shiny engine, I moved my eyes to the front of the railway, and saw a huge signal station with dazzling yellow lights.Suddenly the yellow light changed to green, the train whistle blew, and I heard the steward shout loudly: "All aboard." Then, within a few seconds, the huge train rumbled out of the station and started It's a journey of 2,300 kilometers. My brain was suddenly activated, as if someone was about to give me some enlightenment.Suddenly, it became clear that the train driver provided the answer I was looking for.He only saw a green light and started a long journey.And I would like to see the whole journey all green light.My expectation of life is to sit in the station of life, doing nothing, but eager to understand what is going on in front of me.

My heart was racing and my thoughts were racing.The train driver is not worried about all kinds of obstacles in the future. In fact, the train may be delayed due to failure at any time. It is precisely in this way that people have established the signal system.Yellow light: slow down, slow down; red light: dangerous, stop.This system enables the train to run safely, and it is a very good and effective system. So, I asked myself, why not develop a good signaling system for my life?My answer was that perhaps these systems existed, were given by God, and were manipulated by him to keep me safe at every step—and I began to search for the green light of life.

Now, every morning I pray for the green light for the day that is about to start.Sometimes there is a yellow light, which slows me down and relaxes me a bit.Sometimes when you encounter a red light, stop quickly to avoid getting out of hand. After I discovered this truth two years ago, I stopped asking for trouble.In the two years, more than 700 green lights have opened my way, and I don't have to care what color the next light is, which makes my life journey easy and enjoyable.
