生命是一個奇妙的現象，它包含了無限的可能性和力量。但生命的存在需要特定的條件，而這些條件會改變，這意味著生命是不確定的，也會面臨困難和危險。
對於低級生命而言，它們因無意識而陷入命運之中，懵然不知。但是，我們作為有意識的高級生命，對自己的存在有一定的執著。如果明天不確定，甚至不知道自己能否醒來，那麼我們對未來就會產生焦慮，感到不安全。
然而，每一種不確定都代表著生命的一種自由，如果明天的事情如同一個預設的程序，一切都是確定的，我們就會像機器那樣行動，完全無法自主。這時我們只是一種工具，儘管不用擔心生活，但會感到沉悶和無意義，絕不會感到喜悅。因此，只有接受生命的不確定，我們才能活得舒暢，但首先需要培養對自己的信賴。
信賴之情來自於感激，如果能夠感激大自然賦予的生命，我們就能接受過去的必然性和未來的不確定。正是因為大自然需要我們，所以我們才存在，並產生意識和理性作為生命的保障。也因為我們有智慧，大自然才把命運交回我們手裡，讓我們有更多的自由。
回顧過去，也能增加我們對自己的信賴。我們可以這樣思考：無論艱辛還是順利，既然能走過昨天，到達今天，那就說明我們走對了路，否則已經死於途中。這意味著我們雖然會犯錯，但只要不自以為是、不固執，就能及時改正。因此，我們應該相信自己能夠穩步走向未來。
對自然、生命、過去與未來有了深刻的認識，我們就會信賴自己，不會再感到焦慮。帶著意識體驗今天，並為明天做好充分的準備，我們就能為美好的未來奠定基礎。所以，每天早晨醒來，都應該像慶祝新生那樣，因為我們正在創造一個值得信賴的新世界。

The path to Tranquility (59)
Cultivating reliance in ourselves
Life is a wonderful phenomenon, containing infinite possibilities and power. But the existence of life requires specific conditions, and these conditions can change, which implies that life is uncertain and will also face difficulties and dangers.
For lower-level beings, they are trapped in their fate due to unconsciousness and are unaware of it. However, as conscious advanced beings, we have a certain persistence towards our own existence. If tomorrow is uncertain, or even we don't know whether we will wake up, we will have anxiety about the future and feel insecure.
However, every uncertainty represents a kind of freedom in life. If the events of tomorrow are like a preset program, everything is certain, and we will act like machines, completely unable to be autonomous. At this time, we are just a tool. Although we don't have to worry about life, we will feel bored and meaningless, and we will never feel joy. Therefore, only by accepting the uncertainty of life can we live comfortably, but first we need to cultivate reliance for ourselves.
Reliance comes from gratitude. If we can be grateful for the life given by nature, we can accept the inevitability of the past and the uncertainty of the future. It is precisely because nature needs us that we exist and give rise to consciousness and reason as the guarantee of life. Also because we have wisdom that nature puts destiny back into our hands and gives us more freedom.
Looking back at the past can also increase our reliance on ourselves. We can think this way: regardless of hardship or smoothness, since we have gone through yesterday and arrived today, it means that we are on the right path, otherwise, we would have died on the way. This means that although we will make mistakes, as long as we are not self-righteous or stubborn, we can correct them in time. Therefore, we should believe that we can move steadily into the future.
With a deep understanding of nature, life, the past and the future, we will have reliance for ourselves and no longer feel anxious. With consciousness to experience today and be fully prepared for tomorrow, we can lay the foundation for a better future. So, every morning when we wake up, we should celebrate being like a newborn, because we are creating a reliant new world.
