The path to Tranquility (spring)
42. Seeing the origin of happiness
Whatever the definition of happiness is, its roots lie in how we feel inside. If we can be grateful for the little things in life, we will find the clue to happiness. This inner abundance makes us feel lucky and blessed, and is the foundation for inner peace.
To feel happiness in life, we first need to examine our own hearts to see if they are peaceful and joyful. If we have a deep understanding of ourselves, others and the world, happiness will come naturally. On the contrary, if we feel confused and troubled, it means that we have deviated from the right track of life and we need to stop and reflect so as not to be led by negative emotions.
If we don’t find a way out today, we will still be in trouble tomorrow. It can be seen that current anxiety may continue into the future and bring us more pain. However, we often pin our happiness on changes in external conditions but ignore the adjustment of our mental state. The real way out is to cultivate a peaceful mindset and bravely accept birth, aging, sickness and death in life.
Courage is the driving force behind the rise of consciousness. We need to find out why we went the wrong way and redefine the direction we are heading. This requires not only wisdom, but also the courage to face difficulties. Success in life begins with courage, is rooted in wisdom, and peace and joy are our most important gains. We need to create a life that is full of consciousness and connected to other lives and the world.
Choosing the right path in life depends on our judgment and sensitivity, which is an important manifestation of wisdom. As long as every decision is in line with the meaning of life and cares about the true interests of life, we are on the right path. Once we make the right choice, we will become more and more fulfilled, feel the joy of growth, and eventually reach a state of perfection.
In the pursuit of perfection, we must put life first, because only by living can we move forward. Once we achieve our goal, we will feel free, let go of our attachment to life, and let life accept the arrangements of nature. The happiness brought by perfection is actually the worry-free feeling after getting rid of all desires. When we see the origin of happiness, we also see the eternal future of life, which makes us feel a tranquility that transcends time.
Taking some time each day to reflect and become more aware of our emotions and needs can help us cultivate a peaceful state of mind. We can record our feelings, and more importantly, our insights. This method can cultivate our gratitude. Also, learn to accept imperfection and actively seek change. In this way, it is not only easier for us to get out of trouble, but also easier for us to achieve happiness.
The origin of happiness is the starting point of a journey of soul exploration. It allows us to put aside our busy lives and see the meaning of life again. Happiness is not an unattainable fantasy, but a state of mind that each of us can have. When we experience freedom, it means that happiness has remained in our hearts and life has reached a perfect state.
