In the bustling crowd, everyone is like a traveler, hurrying, chasing their own happiness. We are often asked, "Are you happy?" And the answer may be hidden in the bits and pieces of our daily life.
Once upon a time, we all thought that happiness was an unattainable goal that required endless struggle and sacrifice to reach. We chase fame and fortune and climb to the pinnacle of our careers, only to find that the emptiness in our hearts still cannot be filled.
Until one day, when we are tired, we stop, look back at the bits and pieces of life, and find that happiness has always been around us.
Xiao Li is a busy urban white-collar worker who is tired of work every day. He has always believed that only a successful career can bring true happiness. Until one day, he fell ill, lying on the hospital bed, looking at the leisurely snow outside the window, and suddenly realized that he had been ignoring the beauty around him.
He remembered the warm lights in his home, his wife's concerned eyes, and the bowl of hot chicken soup every night. At that moment, he understood that happiness is not in the distant future, but in every moment of the present.
Around us, there are too many people like Xiao Li. In pursuit of so-called success and happiness, they ignore the beautiful moments in life. And when they have experienced setbacks and losses, they begin to know how to cherish them.
When it comes to busyness and success, we can't fail to mention Kai-Fu Lee. He is a distinguished computer scientist and entrepreneur, and at one time served as the president of Google China. In the eyes of many, he is synonymous with success. However, Kai-Fu Lee shared his experience in an interview.
"I was looking for money, power and fame, but when it was all in my hands, I didn't feel happier," he said. It wasn't until one day, when I came home and saw the pot of soup my wife had made for me, and the children ran over and hugged my legs, that I realized that true happiness was actually around me. ”
Someone once said: "The happiness we pursue all our lives is not in the past or in the future, but in the present, in the eyes, the Chinese food, and the people around us." This is the most apt interpretation of happiness.
Happiness is the warmth of the sunshine on the face, the satisfaction of the taste of home, and the warmth of the greetings of relatives.
In Walden, Thoreau wrote, "Most people live in quiet despair. This sentence warns us not to rely on external material things and achievements for happiness, but to focus on our inner feelings and life in the moment.
Life is like a journey, and the real journey is not about finding new landscapes, but about having new eyes. We must learn to look at life with new eyes and discover the beauty around us, so that we can truly feel the existence of happiness.
When you have seen all beings and the world, you will find that the bravery and self-confidence in your heart are the world you really want to see. And when you have experienced the rotation of the seasons and the changes of the wind and clouds, you will eventually realize that the seemingly ordinary life and state of mind is the beautiful scenery you really want to appreciate.
Happiness, in fact, is very simple. Sometimes, it's the bowl of steaming food, the person waiting for you to come home, the light that's always on for you.
We don't have to go far and far, we don't have to pursue unattainable dreams, we just need to cherish the present and care for the people around us, and we can find the happiness that belongs to us.
The years are quiet, but the bowl of hot soup at home and the lamp that is always on for you. Let us learn to be grateful, learn to cherish, and let the seeds of happiness take root and sprout in our hearts and bloom into brilliant flowers.
