幸福在我心

A close friend said “If I could only figure this out, I think I could find happiness.” I have heard this before and will hear it again I am sure.

Many people want to believe that finding happiness is all about finding something else they want. Not many have ever found long-term happiness by achieving another goal. The answer to finding happiness is to look within.

In other words, happiness is completely an inside job. The most important piece to finding happiness is to comprehend happiness is a choice and not the result of an experience. If all happiness could be found as the result of an acquisition, meeting a goal, or having anything, then a person’s happiness would always be subject to something else.

Remember this: one definition of happiness is simply the absence of an opposite emotion, whether it is pain, sadness or something else. If the opposite emotions are never experienced then happiness can never be experienced either. Think about it like this: bad times allow you to appreciate good times; hunger allows you to appreciate food; and sadness allows you to appreciate and experience happiness.

The dictionary defines happiness as enjoying, showing, or marked by pleasure, satisfaction or joy.

How often do you hear “I’ll be happy when…”? When I get that job, I’ll be happy. I’ll be happy when I find a life partner. I’d be happy if I had more money.

These, and all the other “if I had”, scenarios are following the same reasoning; that happiness is based on external circumstances.

If you base your happiness on external circumstances, you will continuously fail to find happiness. There will always, always be another external circumstance. There will always be another dollar, another job, another house, or another partner. Better, more, else.

To break this vicious cycle, we must find our happiness somewhere else. That somewhere else is within. We have been given everything we need to be happy.

Allow yourself to choose happiness. If life was perfect would you be happy? Life is perfect because we create it with our choices. Since we can create life, we can create happiness and how much better can it get?

When we can accept that life is perfect as it is and that our lives are the sum total of everything that has happened to this instant, only then can we accept the joy and happiness we deserve.

I realize that this concept is very difficult for some to accept. However, the alternative to being happy now is to spend the rest of our lives seeking happiness as if happiness was an item to be bought or found.

It’s not. Just remember the saying don’t worry, be happy！

好友曾说：“只要我想通了，我就会找到幸福。”我以前就听人这么说过，相信以后还会听到。

许多人一心以为，寻找幸福无非就是找到自己想要的其它东西。但没有多少人能通过达成某一个目标而得到长久的 幸福。找到幸福的钥匙就在自己手上。

换句话说，幸福感完全取决于自己。幸福是你的选择，而不是某段经历的结果。明白这一点是找到幸福的关键。如果所有幸福都能通过获取某物、达到一个目标或者拥有某样东西而得到，那这个人的幸福就将永远依赖于 别的事物才能存在。

记住，如果你从没感到痛苦、悲伤或其它类似的情绪，那就是幸福，就这么简单。如果你从没体验过这些负面情绪，同样地，你也永远无法感受到幸福。想想看，时运不济才会令你珍惜美好时光；饥饿令你珍惜食物；忧伤则令你珍惜和享受幸福。

“幸福”在字典上的意思是享受、流露出或表现出愉快、满足或欢乐的样子。

你经常听到“如果……我会很幸福”这句话吗？如果我得到那份工作，我会很幸福；如果我能找到人生伴侣，我会很幸福；如果我更加富有，我会很幸福。

这些“如果”和其它类似的假设都依据同一个推理：幸福与否取决于外部条件。

如果你的幸福取决于外部条件，你将永远也找不到幸福。因为无论如何，总会有新的外部条件。你永远都会想要多一块钱、另一份工作、多一栋房子或是另一个伴侣。更好、更多，还有别的。

要打破这种恶性循环，我们必须在其它地方找寻幸福。这个地方就是我们自身。其实我们拥有一切得到幸福的要素。

给自己选择幸福的权利。如果生活完美无缺，你会感到幸福吗？生活之所以完美，是因为它是我们通过自己的选择创造出来的。既然我们可以创造生活，我们就可以创造幸福――这还不够好吗？

生活本身就是完美的，我们的生活由过往发生的点点滴滴组合而成――只有承认这一点，我们才能体会到应得的欢乐和幸福。

我知道有些人很难接受这个想法。不过，若不从此时此刻中获得幸福，另一个途径就是把幸福当成一个可以买到或发现的东西，用我们余下的一生去寻找。

那不叫幸福。记住这句老话吧：别苦恼，开心点！
