For a while, I often met a student on campus who had a disability on one leg and could only walk on crutches. Our student dormitory is on the hillside, from the dormitory to the classroom is far away, and it is not a flat road, and some places have a large slope, she is walking like this. And what impressed me the most was that every time I saw her, she always had a smile on her face. When she smiled and asked me how my teacher was, that smile was like a warm ray of sunshine shining into my heart. Sometimes I encounter something annoying, I meet her with a sad face, and the smile on my face will make me feel a little ashamed at once, compared to her encounter, what is my little annoyance? Her bright smile dissolved my usual relationship like a villain, and her heart suddenly opened up a lot.
Whether life is beautiful or not, in fact, should be decided by yourself, and has nothing to do with others. People who are always sunny in their hearts can turn every day into a sunny day. However, in real life, we are accustomed to seeing people who complain, complaining all the time, complaining about everything, for them, complaining has become a norm in life. It seemed that Heaven had been particularly unfair to him, and had placed all the bad things on his head and made him miserable. However, when we look carefully at these people, we will find that their life or work is really not as bad as they say, but they are blind to the benefits they have received, or take it for granted; and they are full of resentment and anger at the slightest disadvantage or even due responsibility. Their hearts are always cloudy, whether there is really wind or rain outside, or the sun is shining.
Everyone's life is made up of days, and they are spent day by day. The quality of life of each day determines the quality of its life, which is the simplest truth, but everyone may not be able to understand it, and it looks very different: some people seek and practice happiness day by day, and some people are worried and resentful day by day. Whenever I see this, I think of the Spring and Autumn Period. According to the "Confucius Family Language", when Confucius traveled to Mount Taishan, he met Rong Qiqi on the road, he was not clothed, but he sang while playing the piano, a pleasant and self-satisfied appearance. Confucius said, "Zenza! Those who can be self-explanatory also. "Rong Qiqi, who was born in an aristocratic world, lived in poverty, and still enjoyed himself, and thus became a model for future generations to pursue a happy life. The Jin dynasty man Lu Yun (grandson of Lu Xun, who had burned Liu Bei's camp for seven hundred miles), wrote the "Praise of the RongQi Period": "The Rongqi period is also the zhou shiren." At the end of the season of decline, when the king's way was decadent, he lived in seclusion in poverty, and asked for relics for himself. Embrace the mysterious door and ask for the realm of Xiwei. The Son of Heaven shall not be subjected, and the princes shall not be friends. Ninety years old, he was sung by the qiu drum and piano. Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, also wrote in the poem "Not with the Old Period": "Where was the dream last night, the Ming Dynasty did not know." Prozac is not my own, Sanle is my teacher. "The Three Musicians" Rong Qi period also.
Lao Tzu has a saying: "There is no greater misfortune than dissatisfaction, and no greater blame than desire." Therefore, contentment is always enough! What Lao Tzu emphasizes here is that only "contentment" is the greatest "satisfaction." In other words, only those who are satisfied with contentment can attain long-term true satisfaction. Whether you can feel the happiness of life depends to a large extent on a person's mentality of looking at things and dealing with things, people who are difficult to fill will never be happy; simple and simple people are more likely to appreciate every bit of beauty around them. In fact, everyone has a happy seed in their hearts, and whether you can make it take root and thrive depends entirely on yourself. You feel that every day is beautiful, every day is worth looking forward to, that day will project happiness to you; you feel that every day is full of new ideas, every day is meaningful and valuable, then every day will feel full and satisfied. So we really should tell ourselves every day: be happy today, be happy today, be happy today.
There are two kinds of people who cannot feel and enjoy the happiness of every day: one kind of person is a person who often complains, and this kind of person cannot experience the joy of life at any time; the other is the person who puts everything on tomorrow, and the person who is insensitive to today, "Tomorrow after tomorrow, tomorrow is so much." I was born for tomorrow, and everything will be in ruins. "It's a stupid thing to let go of today's happiness and talk about tomorrow's happiness. If you don't pay attention to the reality in front of you and only want to change the unpredictable tomorrow, it is likely that you will waste time day by day, and it is the most real and correct thing to live every day to the fullest.
Many things, many times, the joy of life or not we can grasp. The American social psychologist Fistinger famously has a theory that 10% of life is made up of what happens to you, while the other 90% is determined by how you react to what happens. That is to say, 10% of the things in life are beyond our control, while the other 90% are within our control, which is known as the "Fistinger Law". Faced with the same thing, different reactions produce different results. In Gyatso's "Everything is the Best Arrangement", it is said: "The mind is the cause, and bitterness is the effect." No matter what adversity you encounter, you can turn suffering into pleasure by amplifying your mind and having compassion, gratitude, and joy all the time." I especially like the phrase "everything is the best arrangement", which is not a false self-consolation, but a generous attitude towards life. Dare to face everything, face everything calmly, and do everything to the best.
Whether you are a brother with positive energy or a brother with negative emotions determines whether you are happy in life or not, and determines the meaning and value of your life. In fact, no one, at any time, will not just be sunny or full of dark clouds, what we lack is only "bamboo sticks and shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid?" A smoke and rain for a lifetime" attitude towards life. "Brother Zheng" makes you optimistic about everything, deal with everything, do not complain or mourn, turn suffering into ultimate happiness, and feel calm as water, "Looking back at the place where it has always been... There is no wind or rain and no sunshine"; "Negative Brother" makes your eyes full of dark clouds, can't see hope, can't see the light, and struggles step by step with resentment, and finally buries yourself in the quagmire of sinking.
Let us grasp every moment of every day, feel its warmth with our hearts, experience its beauty, find the meaning of life from the bits and pieces of triviality, find the value of self-existence, turn every day into the best moment in life, and taste and enjoy this happiness carefully.
