The path to Tranquility (spring)
42. Seeing the origin of happiness
No matter what the definition of happiness is, the origin of happiness lies
within our hearts, it is an inner feeling. When we have a grateful heart and
appreciate every little thing in life, we will find ourselves filled with
happiness. Happiness means feeling lucky and blessed, which is the basis of
tranquility.
Examine your own heart and see if it is peaceful and joyful. If it is, it means we are on the right path in life, we just need to understand our own needs more deeply, cultivate more awareness of ourselves, others, and the world, and happiness will come. If we feel lost and confused, it means we have taken the wrong path and lost our direction. We need to stop, calm ourselves down and reflect on time, and not wander around with negative emotions.
If we can't find a way out today, we will surely be troubled tomorrow, and whether we can still be alive the day after tomorrow becomes a major problem that will make us more anxious and painful. The way out of life is not about where our body goes, but about cultivating a peaceful state of mind, so that we can easily accept the life of birth, aging, sickness, and death.
Find out the reasons for taking the wrong path, reconfirm the direction, and continue to move forward without hesitation. This is the courage to survive and the courage to progress. Not being afraid of difficulties is the right way to grow wisdom. Success in life begins with courage and is rooted in wisdom, and peace and joy are the greatest gains, because we create lives full of consciousness and connect them together.
Choosing the right path in life depends on our judgment and sensitivity, which is the true meaning of wisdom. If we choose the right direction, we will gradually enter a good state, and eventually feel the origin of happiness. We will reach the state of perfection at the right time and space, and no longer be afraid of death. Choosing a path in life is not difficult, we just need to constantly pay attention to the benefit of life, we will be on the right path.
Before reaching a perfect state, we must protect our own lives, because we can only move forward relying on it. Once we feel that our goal has been achieved, we will naturally let go of our attachment to life, no longer struggle to survive, and let life accept the arrangement of nature. Happiness and perfection are actually about getting rid of all desires and no longer worrying. Therefore, seeing the origin of happiness means that we see the eternal future of life.
