How can a person master all the possible development of his practice, morality, and spiritual potential? It seems unknown for a person's "best", or it may be a contradiction, because self -development is a dynamic process. Instead of a fixed state that can hover to the maximum value.

In the best case, you will be the best one. But if you can't do it, then you should do your best.

This suggestion is everywhere -especially in the mind of a person who is trying to save a worrying relationship: Can I change this mode of getting along with my determination?

Recently, I completely let go of a difficult marriage relationship, and finally I was able to face up to the result of my efforts in my marriage most of the past ten years. Unlike my writing, my teaching, and even my garden, no matter how much I invest, this relationship will not respond to my efforts. My efforts began to lose my kindness and left me a double failure. Although I have not lost my interest in love, I have doubts about the impulse of "doing their best."

I am not only a hard -working person, but also a philosopher who studies the concept of moral self -development. From these two perspectives, it seems that the "maximum effort" as a way to think about the progress of life has begun to become wrong. Speaking of "the best", it is usually described as short or one -dimensional efforts, and the work of moral self -development -just like any intimacy -need to be studied repeatedly, it takes a long time to continue and constantly update. The form of respect and calmness is unable to do it with hard work.

I ca n’t evaluate myself correctly. I ’m more familiar with this. It is neither a lack of effort, nor can it be corrected with the power of will.

When we focus on some narrow goals, the idea of ​​"doing the greatest effort" will cause short -sighted thinking. Moral development is a multi -dimensional thing, including "doing" and "not doing". The development itself is constantly changing the possibility of self. In this way, things that are considered "the best" will change in a real and invisible way. We should give up the phrase "the best". On the contrary, we should do better.

Great, you might think, let us relax! But what I want to say is that it is better to work hard at least as it is, and it is likely to be the best than doing it.

Is it better to just mean that you "work very hard", or you use the energy you knew at the time you know? Maybe no one can reasonably have more expectations for you. Maybe you scream when no one is, bite your lips to bleed, and you can't sleep at night. In order to maintain marriage, I hold my whole body power in a fist, but if I want to develop in a better direction, I must give up the efforts to separate my interests from my own interests.

Kant believes that no one is perfect, but he thinks we can move forward perfectly.

All of our most important issues require us to try wisely, patiently, honesty, trust, and creative. These efforts models may be emotionally painful, and in this sense are "difficult", just like our "biggest effort". But their differences are that they acknowledge that self and their situations are fundamentally progressing, so they cannot be understood with general highest levels.

In Western traditions, the language used by the most famous moral self -development may cover up a more subtle level of moral struggle. Aristotle wrote in "Niger Marco Ethics" that we should "do our best and live according to our best". Similarly, Emanul Kant believes that we have the responsibility to achieve moral self -improvement. He agrees with a sentence in Philippians: "If there is any virtue, if you have any praise, he will fight for it. To "holy", although in Kant's view, the sacred will is a will that humans cannot have. Saint here is an ideal, a concept that sets a task that can never be fully realized. Kant believes that no one is perfection, but he thinks we can move forward perfectly.

I think Kant is right in this regard. However, the internal work of self -improvement is so difficult to be conceptual, so that it can even confuse Kant scholars. The suggestions of "do your best" or "do more good things" make Kant's rich moral struggle concept flat, which combines efforts with acceptance. In addition, moral struggle requires many inherent behaviors that others cannot see, so it does not conform to our typical concept of behavior.

Kant's moral philosophy is still highly subtle. If you want to find a method of self -development in your personal attitude, readers should consult the ancient Chinese text "Book of Changes". The saints in the Book of Changes often warn students that his "lower -class" -This refers to his lower part -he may arrogantly tries to force a result, provoke conflict or misjudge others. Other repeated themes include to correct their attitudes, give up doubts, and wait for the timing. Of course, the timing of the decision to make the "crossing the sea" has matured, that is, through a late difficult dialogue, the beginning of a new relationship, or a change of occupation, it has greatly changed its own direction. However, without sufficient inner preparation, crossing the sea may be dangerous. The pictures that coordinate with the process in the Book of Changes will be replaced with their maximum efforts into a completely different attempt. Accepting, although it is not an action itself, it is emotionally difficult. It is not relaxed or passive. In fact, it is so difficult that many people would rather do the best in almost anything else. Based on my experience, it is easy to avoid work projects or find someone to accept your sadness and loneliness.

The "best" of a person is unknown, because the development of self is a dynamic process, not a fixed state that can stay at the maximum value.

When I fell into the wrong hard work trap, I imagined myself as a rammer that hit in the box and rebounded on the wall until the battery was exhausted. When this is like this, I need to re -read this need to be rewritten (staying on the standby). The saints of the Book of Changes know that sometimes when a person finds herself in a dangerous pit, anything she tries to do will make the situation worse.

Carol Anthony is a influential author of the Book of Changes. She started studying the Book of Changes during the crisis of life. At that time, she was 41 years old. I have a heavy year in my life. Anthony observed that when we feel that our lives have lost control, "we still insist that progress depends on external efforts." With the image of another gradual hexagram ("development" or "progressive"), we always want to "grow quickly like plants in a swamp" instead of "rooting" by a slow inner attitude.

My students and I joked that after I took my class, they would never have essay on Instagram "Live my best life!". We have read the point of view of a philosopher Richard Kraut, and he thinks you don't know if you live the best life.

How can a person master all the possible development of his practice, morality, and spiritual potential? It seems unknown for a person's "best", or it may be a contradiction, because self -development is a dynamic process. Instead of a fixed state that can hover to the maximum value. I started trying to deal with my relationship with myself in different ways, but this change is not complete, and I can't see it from the outside. But it is more in line with my value than me, so I don't mind that what others see are a woman sitting alone in the pit.

Whenever we think that when we are doing or trying to do the best, we can more accurately describe ourselves as "the road to unknown self" and borrow a philosopher Stanley Kavier Waldo Emerson and Henry David Solo commented. Caville uses "moral perfection" to refer to:

"A dimension or tradition of moral life ... gives a huge burden on the possibility of personal relationships, the possibility or necessity of self -and and social transformation -this burden from Plato, Aristotle to Emerson, and Nietzsche, And pass through the opposite moment such as Kant and Mueller. "

All these thinkers urged their readers to move towards "the next self." We can easily expand Kavier's research on moral perfection, including the vast philosophical traditions from China, Japan and around the world.

It is necessary for the hexagram (one of the sixty -four hexagrams of the Book of Changes) to evoke the image of the clouds to go to the sky: "When the clouds are rising to the sky, this is a sign of rain. Except for the rain, there is no other way.

The same is true in life. When destiny is playing a role, only wait. "If you do not work hard, I strongly recommend that you wait for the rain.
