The most direct way to cheat life is to become your own observer. The biggest difference between humans and animals is that we have the ability of self-awareness, to realize what we are thinking and feeling. However, many people do not actively use this ability, constantly being led by various thoughts, anxiously consumed like puppets on strings. This is actually the root of suffering; it is not the thoughts themselves that are scary, but rather the fact that you are unaware that you are being controlled by them. So how do we become observers? The key is to learn to "watch the play without getting involved in it." For example, the thoughts and emotions that arise in your mind are like clouds in the sky, sometimes sunny with white clouds, and other times dark and overcast. At this moment, don’t follow the clouds; just stand by and watch them drift and change, without entanglement or competition. Thoughts are thoughts, you are you. When you can observe yourself in this clear way, your heart will gradually calm down, stabilizing your inner energy and allowing you to see life more clearly and live more wisely.
