But we can't live like cattle and sheep. We are only satisfied with the material needs of forage and water. We also need spiritual needs. However, this higher-level need often varies from person to person and is subject to many social restrictions. So, how can we improve our happiness under limited conditions? You have to learn a wisdom of survival.
there is a saying: since you can't change the environment, you can only change yourself to adapt to it. What is this change? That is the attitude towards life.
In this case, God may be tired, secretly take a nap, or play a joke on everyone inadvertently, so there are so many imperfections and defects in the world, and there are all kinds of people with different fates, some are successful, some are lucky, some are unlucky ...
If we always measure everything by our own standards, we may not even get an orange. Therefore, we can't expect life and complain about it. On the contrary, we should treat this life with gratitude.
If you hide in the sun and lean against it, you will see a shadow; If you step out of the shadow and face the sun, you will see a bright future. The constant sunshine, but your choice and change, can harvest different life.
There is a decoration program of Dream Renovater on TV, which shows me the real life of many people living at the bottom of metropolis. Not all of them are as glamorous as those in movies and TV plays. Not everyone can afford high-rise buildings. Their living conditions are almost unimaginable: three generations of people, old and young, are squeezed into dozens of square meters of houses, the living space is dark, the air is stagnant, and the living room can't even put a dining table, so they can't stand up. And a kitchen full of cockroaches ...
Even so, they tried their best to renovate this old house and improve their living conditions on the existing basis. In the eyes of outsiders, they are miserable, but their faces are filled with yearning glory. This kind of eagerness to change the optimistic spirit of active struggle is a real courage and strength.
In fact, happiness can sometimes be very simple. It doesn't need any formal occasions or grand ceremonies, and it doesn't need much time and money. It hides in many corners of life. As long as you are willing to look for it, they are as ubiquitous as air.
this kind of happiness in the gap is not to go to an elegant symphony concert, nor to take a luxurious trip abroad, nor to buy a lot of useless things crazily and unrestrained.
this kind of happiness is scattered and low-cost, and can be felt at any time and place.
Recently, a video of a farmer's uncle jumping peacock dance became popular on the Internet. His uncle's name is Ma Jin, 51, and he is a native of Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province. He is an authentic farmer.
if you are tired of working in the fields, just jump and relax. Sometimes you jump in the mountains and sometimes you jump in the fields. There is no fixed place, just because you like dancing since childhood.
during busy farming, I work at home, and during slack farming, I go out to work.
wherever the music plays, you jump with your feelings. No teacher has ever taught you. When dancing, I want to try my best to dance well.
Uncle's dream is that he can keep jumping like this, and then he can take good care of his family.
Netizens were moved by uncle's life attitude of taking pains and having fun, and they all expressed their appreciation and left a message saying:
Years ago, a video of a takeaway brother playing the piano in Yili, Xinjiang, became popular in Weibo.
Little brother is 22 years old. He has been delivering takeout food for more than a year. He studied piano for two years, and then taught himself for another year.
On this day, after delivering the meal in the cultural center, he thought that he would perform a program at the annual meeting. After obtaining the consent, he sat down and practiced the music he wanted to play. Unexpectedly, it was a fire when he was photographed and posted online!
His elegant and skillful performance amazed everyone. This piano piece played by my little brother is called "River Flows In You".
There are many such people around us, who can dance a dull life into peacock-like beauty, compose a symphony-like melody and live a different wonderful life. In fact, this is also an ability to live, an ability to get happiness.
Their goals and wishes are simple: they can have enough to eat every day, and their daily consumption is the same as that of ordinary people. They are healthy and can go to work to earn money, and they will be very happy if they have a stable income every month.
People are born to experience. Everyone's wealth status may be high or low, but there is no difference in their experience of happiness and happiness. It's just that the happiness of the rich is more complicated and the happiness of the poor is simpler, that's all.
Everything in this world always gains and loses. Love can give you joy, but it also gives you pain; Wealth can give you enjoyment, but it can also bring pain; Success makes you happy, but when you fail, the pain will become more intense and unbearable.
It's just that some people get it earlier and some people get it later; Some people lose first, others lose later, but that total will be the same. How much happiness you have had, how much sadness you will have once you lose it. Everything will be the same when you die.
Some people get wealth, but they may lose their health, family or feelings; However, if someone loses three points in their career and achievements, they will get three more points in terms of quality of life, good health or freedom of time. Some things seem unfair, but if you think about it carefully, they are actually fair.
When you are happy, sadness will look on; And when you are in pain, that is followed by happiness. In the end, you will find that everything is well-matched, every kind of pain and happiness, everything you get and lose, good and bad. In the end, you will calculate it carefully, and after adding, subtracting and subtracting, that number will be the same.
There are many kinds of happiness. People who live in villas are not necessarily happy, and people who live in ordinary houses are not necessarily unhappy. The rich have the happiness of the rich, and the poor also have the happiness of the poor. However, the definition of happiness is different, and the angle and vision of finding happiness are different.
Learn to find happiness in the cracks of life. Even on days when you don't have enough to eat, you can find a few sweets hidden in the corner and find a way to enjoy yourself.
Farmers toil and sweat in the fields, and their happiness may be the blue sky above their heads, the fresh air and the openness of looking around;
The happiness of street cleaners may be the satisfaction and comfort they feel after sitting down and drinking a mouthful of water and looking at the clean streets.
The happiness of ordinary workers may be to drag their tired bodies home, see the hot food on the table, and hear a concerned greeting from their families ...
We need to return to this primitive and simple happiness, please ourselves with the lowest cost, find happiness in the cracks of life, and we will reap unpredictable scenery and good luck.
Just like the little flower that blooms on the stone wall, whether it is nourished by soil or not, whether it has enough sunshine or not, it can grow up tenaciously in the harsh and limited living space, and it will live up to the present flowering period and bloom the most beautiful flowers in the cracks.
-beautiful and splendid flowers can grow in hard stone walls, and scavengers who live under the overpass and sleep out have their own joy and comfort. Not everyone who lives in a bad situation will only blame others and give up on themselves. Even if they live at the bottom of society, they can keep a firm eye and smile and feel the beauty given by life.
