I don't understand the difference between overdoing it and trying hard

I can't move like a human if I don't do many times better than people, so it's no good to overdo things around me a lot, right? They say, but even if I overdo it, I don't think I'll be able to do it unless I do it; the process is bad, and it's a mess. How should I do things without overdoing it?

Let's overdo it more and more

Unsurprisingly, it has multiple meanings.

1. Things that seem beyond reason
2. Difficult things and things that are difficult to achieve

What Yo-sama is doing is 2.

People around Yo-sama do things like Yo-sama trying too hard and getting sick
Aren't they worried? You're blessed with people, aren't you?
That is probably proof that Yo-sama is working hard.

Take it as words of encouragement
I hope you can overdo it in a dignified manner.

However, I hope you don't do anything reckless.

Overdo it a lot and rest a lot

I'm sure Yo-san is someone who has put in many times more effort than others. For Yo-san, the words “you don't have to do your best” or “don't overdo it” may seem like “I recommend laziness.”

I thought that the words “don't overdo it” that people around me say to Yo-san mean “you're doing your best (that's why you take care of your body),” but what do you think?

I personally admire people who work hard rather than people who don't make an effort. However, I think it is necessary to switch things such as effort, rest, effort, reflection..., etc., so that no one can work 365 days a day, 24 hours a day. Also, surprisingly, others understand that timing better than myself. That's why there are referee stops in boxing.

I would like to force Yo-san to take a lot of rest. And even when you're taking a break, take a moment to look back, “Why do you think I have to overdo it?” And if you can't solve it yourself, please don't hesitate to contact us.

I am better at myself if I take my mind off

The difference between appropriate and appropriate.
The difference between sloppiness and moderation.
Whereas it is a reasonable method,
The difference between pushing by force, which makes no sense and makes no sense.
In order to float on water, face up and put no effort into it. It's a reasonable method, but if you don't know it, you'll go wild and drown.
Work shouldn't be an obligation, pressure, or something that makes you suffer. Finding a reasonable way to work without burdening the body or mind is a reasonable and reasonable way to work. The misfortune continues, and it seems like they are living in a way that harms them. It's for you that I let go of strength a little bit.
If you overdo zazen, enlightenment will be far away.
It is quicker to rest yourself and your ego rather than increase your sense of self in an attempt to calm your own mind.
As for cleaning, if you use a strong broom to clean, the broom will be damaged.
Tooth brushing also becomes useless as soon as it is heavily scrubbed and overused.
Instead of wiping the rag yourself, you can clean it cleanly if you let it be wiped with a rag.
If you look up at the fan too much, not only will it be cool, but it will become hot.
Please take care of yourself.

It's up to me to decide whether to do it or try hard

Yo-san

Nice to meet you, my name is Hiroho Inoue from hasunoha.

Even though you understand your own personality and are working hard with it, I think it's painful to be told “don't overdo it” by people around you because you feel like you're stepping on the brakes from the outside.

However, I don't think there's any problem with understanding that you can't be on par with others if you don't do double your job yourself, and then put it into practice.

It's up to you to decide whether you can't do it or try hard.

If it's tough, I'll take a break; if it's not enough, I'll do my best.

Please do things carefully and thoroughly in consultation with your own mind and body.

In order to spend time on the middle road

Yo-sama

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

Previously, I answered the following questions about “doing my best.”

Question “I'm starting to feel disgusted with my work.”

The word “work hard” seems to mean “continuing to work without being fazed” from its original etymology, and I know that “the middle way” is important when it comes to that approach.

“... Adverse effects often occur if you are too particular, obsessed, and too attached, so in Buddhism, we sometimes aim for solutions by preaching a “middle way” that is unfettered, unfettered, and unfettered. ・・”

“... For example, if you strangle the strings of a koto too hard, the strings will eventually break and you won't be able to make a sound. However, if the strangling is too weak, the strings will loosen and no sound will come out. It's not strong, it's not weak, and the strings of the koto make just the right sound when tightened to medium...”

It seems that Yo-sama despises himself a little bit, but even if you are inferior, I think it would be good to get support and encouragement from those around you so that you can make good use of your own strengths and strengths, and work in a well-balanced manner.

Buddhism explains that this world is a “lucky” world made up of mutual support, help, and sharing, but I believe that by using various “relationships” as a base and valuing “relationships,” we will be able to spend time in the middle in a well-balanced manner. Simply put, it means being able to rely on it well and be able to be relied upon again. Please consider it. I pray for good deeds.
