In life, we all have an illusion: happiness is always someone else's, only the troubles belong to ourselves!
Therefore, we feel the so-called troubles day by day, looking for happiness day by day, in fact, it is around us!
01
Busy is the starting point of happiness
Nothing is easier than getting busy. Life passes quietly in trivial busyness.
There was once an interesting survey: Who is the happiest in the world?
Of the tens of thousands of answers, four are impressive:
Artists whistling to admire their own newly completed works; mothers bathing babies;
The children who were piling up castles on the sand; the doctor who had worked hard for hours had finally saved a patient.
Busy people are happy because there is something to do and life is valuable.
Cherish your busy time, happiness is hidden in the silent busyness. As long as you feel it with your heart, the starting point of happiness can be traced.
02
Idleness is the fulcrum of happiness
Aristotle once said, "Happiness exists in leisure." ”
Life is only busy, it must be busy and idle, busy and not chaotic. Combining work and leisure, happiness can be long-lasting.
There is a saying in the Moral Letters:
People sacrifice leisure to get rich, and when wealth brings the only satisfactory freedom, we have to sacrifice leisure for the sake of prosperity.
True leisure can not only relax people's bodies, but also let people's minds rest.
Learn to cope with life with a leisurely heart; leisure is the real way life is.
03
Jing is the node of happiness
YiShu said: "Be quiet in everything: come quietly, go quietly, work hard quietly, harvest quietly, and avoid noise." ”
Jing is a kind of character, can precipitate impetuousness, can filter shallow, let people look down on gains and losses, and learn to be content.
There is such a story, there is a poet, talented and wealthy, his wife is beautiful and gentle, and his son is clever and clever, but he can not feel happy.
He asked God to help him find happiness, and God first took away his property, then his wife and children, and finally his talent, and the poet was in pain.
After a month, The Heavens returned them to Him, and the poet knelt at the feet of God for a long time with his wife and children in his arms, and thanked God deeply for the happiness that God had given him.
The outside world is chaotic and impetuous, the heart is not quiet, and no matter how much happiness you have, you don't know it. Only by meditating can we see the node of happiness.

Waking up is the inflection point of happiness
In life, we will inevitably encounter all kinds of temptations. Maybe opportunistic people go fast, but sober people go further.
With a clear mind, you will understand the trade-offs in life and plan your life well.
In the world for a long time, we must always be alert to ourselves, open our eyes and do things, in order to avoid detours.
Being sober also means knowing oneself. Be able to position yourself accurately, know what you need, what you want, and what you want to do.
Many people retire with nothing to do and end up with the rest of their lives wasted. Some people use their free time to learn a specialty, enrich themselves, and let people bloom for the second time in their lives.
Only with a clear mind can we live each day happily and give meaning to the next journey of life.
An American writer said: "You must earnestly learn from the experience of the flowing years and calmly bid farewell to the youth; you must cultivate your spiritual strength to resist the sudden and unfortunate blow." ”
Life is like a winding path, surrounded by flowers, butterflies, and delicious fruits.
But many of us would rather seek happiness than enjoy the happiness that is close at hand.
When you can't find happiness, you may wish to look down, life has come all the way, the scenery on the side of the road is happy!
