Breaking from the Familiar

 The keyword that comes strongly in <Breaking from the Familiar> is 'desire'.


It is a book about change, but it also talks about the need to have a deep desire at the bottom.


Not the desires of others, but my own desires, the real desires that shake my life that lead me to the limit.


Talk about facing that desire first.


 


There is no motivation as powerful as desire.


They say that life is difficult not because of poverty, but because desire is dying.


Let your desperate desires flow into every corner of your life.


Live an active life, not a biological life.


Be yourself, not others, through your desires.


​


The surest way to prepare for the future is to create it.


Look at me with desire, and revolutionize me with the explosive power that drives you to become a creator of life.

 "The art of progress is to preserve order in change, and to preserve change in order."


- Alfred North Whitehead


​


Recognizing the future as an extension of yesterday and present means failure. Reform is a way of responding to change. Change, reform, and change the world must start with one's own life.


There is no change in which order is not assumed. Change brings stability and order without falling.


Be aware of your desires, understand change and accept it as a daily principle.



A life made only by hard work is lame.


There must be some excitement in life.


What is diligence for?


The moment you accept change as a basic principle of life, you begin to read the direction of change, and when you add effort and connect it with your desire, an opportunity is created.

Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom.

 Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom. ​ Get your hands off the hanging cliff. Enlightened people say I had to get my hands off the hanging cliff. I can't believe it's a story from Buddhism, which emphasizes mercy and love. Doubts can be easily dispelled. A 'hanging cliff' is actually just an object of obsession, believing that it will die if it is released even though there is no problem. The 'hanging cliff' is different for each person. It could be youth, health, family, money, home, or children. Or it could be love, it could be friendship, it could be the approval of others.   It is clear that the person who cannot lift his hand from the cliff is not free, he is not the master of his own life. Whatever it is, if it is impossible to live without it, and if it is likely that he will die, he is already a slave to the cliff on which he hangs. If you let go, you will die, but why should you let go? For the freedom to pursue new possibilities in life....

 alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self. There are three classes of alchemists. A person who only imitates the language of alchemy without understanding it, Someone who understands but is finally frustrated to know that the language of alchemy is to be followed with the heart and not the head, A person who has never heard of alchemy, but has already become an alchemist by living the life of obtaining the secret of alchemy and discovering the 'philosopher's stone' in his life... ​ Failed alchemists just want to turn lead into gold.

God created this world so that the teachings and wonderful wisdom of the soul can be realized through the visible, and he calls it 'action'. Everything behind the earth gives enlightenment. If you look into even a single grain of sand with love, you can dis...

君子上達 小人下達

Learning flows from the bottom up to the high. ​ A gentleman faces upwards and a small man faces downwards. (君子上達 小人下達) .. - Analects ​ It means that a gentleman goes through high-level studies and disciplines to rectify himself and create a better world, but a small man concentrates on fulfilling his own interests and greed. In addition, <Heonmun> contains words that tell how to do it. That's 'Hahak Sangdal'. It means that no matter how high ideals and dignified life are pursued, daily learning must be a prerequisite. ​ ​ Education must first teach the near and small, and then the far and great. If you do not go through the process of solidifying the basics properly in order to achieve quick results and teach high-level things first, you will collapse at some point, like building a castle on sand. However, if you stop at something close and small, you will not be able to make progress in your studies. The beginning of learning is small and close, but the end of learn...
