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 demand often varies from person to person and is subject to many social restrictions. So, how to improve your happiness under limited conditions? You must learn the wisdom of survival.
There is a saying: since you can't change the environment, you can only change yourself to adapt to the environment. What is this change? That is the attitude towards life.
In this case, it may just be that God was tired, secretly took a nap, or played a joke on everyone unintentionally, so there are so many imperfections and defects in the world, so there are people with different fates, some of whom succeed, some fail, some are lucky and some are unlucky. ...
If we always measure everything by our own standards, we may not even get an orange. Therefore, we can't look forward to 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 shadows and face the sun, you will see a bright future. The sunshine remains the same, but you can gain a different life by choosing and changing.
There is a Dream Renovater decoration program on TV, which shows me many real scenes of people living at the bottom of metropolis. Not all of them are as glamorous as those in TV dramas. Not everyone can afford a high-rise building. Their living conditions are almost unimaginable: three generations, old and young, are crowded into tens of square meters of houses, with dark living space, stagnant air, living rooms that can't even put down a dining table, bedrooms that can't stand straight, and
Even so, they tried their best to transform the old house and improve the living conditions on the existing basis. To outsiders, they are miserable, but their faces are full of yearning glory. This eagerness to change the optimistic spirit of active struggle is the 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 is hidden in many corners of life. As long as you are willing to look for them, they are as ubiquitous as air.
This kind of happiness in the cracks is not going to an elegant symphony concert, nor is it a luxury trip abroad, nor is it crazy and unrestrained to buy back a lot of useless things.
This kind of happiness is decentralized, low-cost, and can be felt anytime and anywhere.
Recently, a video of a farmer's uncle jumping peacock dance became popular on the Internet. His uncle's name is Ma Jin, 5 1 year old, from Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province. He is a real farmer.
If you are tired of working in the fields, jump up and relax. Sometimes you jump in the mountains, and sometimes you jump in the fields. There is no fixed place, just because I like dancing since I was a child.
I work at home during busy farming, and go out to work during slack farming.
No matter where the music plays, you jump with your heart. No teacher has ever taught you. When dancing, I want to try my best to dance well.
Uncle's dream is to keep jumping like this and then take good care of his family.
Netizens were moved by uncle's life attitude of taking pains and having fun, and 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.
My younger brother is 22 years old. He has delivered 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 of performing a program at the annual meeting. After getting permission, he sat down and practiced the music he wanted to play. I didn't expect him to get angry when he was photographed and posted online!
His elegant and skillful performance surprised everyone. The piano piece played by my brother is called "The River Flows in You".
Around us, there are many such people who can dance the plain 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 goal and wish are simple: they can eat enough every day and spend the same as ordinary people. They are healthy, can go to work to earn money, have a stable income every month, and are very happy.
People come to this world to experience. Everyone's wealth status may be different, but there is no difference between 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, there are always gains and losses. Love can give you joy, but it also gives you pain; Wealth can bring you enjoyment, but it can also bring you pain; Success makes you happy, but when you fail, the pain becomes more intense and unbearable.
Only some people get it early, and some people get it late; Some people lose first, some people lose later, but the total is 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 career and achievement, they will gain three more points in quality of life, good health or time freedom. Some things seem unfair, but when you think about it, they are actually fair.
When you are happy, sadness will peep at you; When you are in pain, happiness comes with it. In the end, you will find that everything is well matched, every kind of pain and happiness, every kind of gain and loss, good and bad. Finally, you will calculate it carefully. After addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, 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 also different.
Learn to find happiness in the cracks of life. Even in the days when you don't have enough to eat, you can find some candy hidden in the corner and find a way to enjoy it.
Farmers work hard 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 of sitting down and drinking a mouthful of water and looking at the clean streets;
The happiness of ordinary workers may be dragging their tired bodies home, seeing hot meals on the table and hearing a caring greeting from their families. ...
We need to return to this primitive and simple happiness, please ourselves with the lowest cost, find happiness in the gap of life, and we will reap unpredictable scenery and good luck.
Just like a small flower on a stone wall, it can grow tenaciously in a harsh and limited living space with or without soil nourishment and sufficient sunshine, and it can bear the current flowering period and produce the most beautiful flowers in the cracks.
Beautiful and splendid flowers can grow in hard stone walls, and scavengers living under overpasses also have their own joy and comfort. Not everyone who is in a bad life situation will only blame others and give up on themselves. Even if you live at the bottom of society, you can keep a firm eye and smile and feel the beauty given by life.
