In our lives, everyone longs for happiness and wealth but often looks for them in the wrong places.
Where is happiness?
We often look for happiness in faraway places, sometimes in someone, sometimes thinking that happiness must be somewhere very far away, happiness must be having many things in hand. So everyone thinks happiness is very far away.
Folklore has it that demons wanted humans to suffer, so they tried to hide human happiness. They discussed where to hide happiness so that humans would have the hardest time finding it. One demon thought of hiding happiness in the ocean, but humans could cross the ocean, and in the deep forest, humans could go through the forest. Another demon said it was hidden in outer space, but suddenly remembered that humans had traveled to outer space. Finally, they thought of hiding happiness within humans because that was the least expected place, the closest place, but humans were suspicious, so they often looked far away. Few people believed that happiness was within themselves.
And from there, people often look for happiness in far away places, so it is difficult to find, because happiness is inside each person, not searching but opening the soul to let happiness sing. Happiness is a feeling that comes from within, felt from within, not depending on others.
To have a happy and prosperous life, people need to understand these 5 things:
Don’t worry about getting old: Youth and oldness are in the soul and heart, not in the number of years lived.
Because of being too afraid of age and the number of years lived, people age themselves, restrain themselves because they think they are too old for that, that job.
But the truth is, a young heart and soul are more important than physical strength. Youthfulness and youthfulness are not based on years of life but on the age of the soul. If you still have a lot of courage, enthusiasm, and a fresh soul, you will always be young no matter how old you are. Many people, even though they are grandparents, are still younger than young graduates because of their young minds, young souls, and willingness to live with youthful energy.
Don’t judge yourself by the number of years you’ve lived. Wrinkles don’t tell your age, it’s your soul that tells you you’re old.
Young and old at heart
Your health is weakened by your own thoughts.
Health is extremely important, without health, life is boring and meaningless. Life is a one-way ticket with no return. In the second half of life, you and I realize that health is what we want most. With health, we will have desires, without health, we will not even be able to dream. Therefore, we must take care of our health no matter what we do. We must take care of our health from the time we are young and do not have to be sick. Do not neglect your health.
Money and fame must be tried with all one’s strength but must know how to let go to be at peace.
Everyone has struggled, everyone has longed for money and fame and has to try because that creates value for life. But if your mind is always heavy with gains and losses, always comparing yourself with others, you will only cause yourself to fall into endless pain and sadness. People who try to live a life that is not meaningless will have a happy life, but those who are greedy for fame and fortune will certainly be weighed down by fame and fortune. Therefore, when you become a person, you must try your best to learn to become rich, and then let go, you will be the most peaceful person.
Every relationship you meet in life, remember that distance is up to you, gathering and dispersing is up to fate.
No matter who comes or goes in life, we should accept it calmly, everything has a cause and effect. Whoever comes into our lives, we should thank them and be devoted to them, but whoever goes, we should accept it and wish them a happy departure. We welcome them when they come, and we calmly say goodbye when they go, that is the wisdom of those who understand life. Relationships in life are all due to cause and effect. If we live with a peaceful mind, we should also accept and part ways with ease. Friends and strangers in life depend on fate, don’t try to force them, if you can’t force them, it will only add to suffering. Every encounter has a time of separation, don’t try to hold on if it’s time for the person to leave. Or sometimes we are the ones who have to leave, be brave and walk away.
Meeting and parting are fate.
The simpler life is, the happier you are. Material things should be simple, but the inner self needs to be rich.
The more we desire material things, the more we suffer. Material things are just a means of existence, the inner self is what determines each person’s happiness. So don’t think that having a house and a car will definitely make you happy. Whether or not you are happy depends on whether you are satisfied with that house and car. What is supposed to bring you joy instead becomes a source of stress and haunts your mind. The same goes for food, don’t be too fussy, don’t be too greedy, live more lightly.
The best state of a person’s life is simplicity and modesty. Those who know how to reduce material needs, cultivate their inner self, and strive for purity in their own hearts will be the happiest people. Cultivating the inner self means living close to nature, understanding the smallest things in life, and you will naturally find that every passing moment is meaningful.
