Life in the world is important to know how to be happy. With an open-minded, cheerful and plain heart, in a colorful and changeable and materialistic life, refuse all kinds of temptations, become comfortable, and life will naturally be happy. And the reason why people have troubles is that they are not satisfied, driven by desire all day long, and are busy chasing, anxious, and intriguing for their so-called "happiness...... It turned out to be different.

In fact, we don't know that cloth clothes and tea and rice can also be happy for life. As a human being, don't let too many desires clog your mind and blind your eyes. If there is too much materialism, the soul will be perverted, and people will never be satisfied, so that there will never be peace and happiness in the spirit.

Contentment and happiness, anyone can read the four words, but how difficult it is to really do it! In the vast world and all living beings, how many people can understand this realm? Especially in such a complex society, how can we avoid the temptation of "discontentment"? As the saying goes, "Contentment is wide in the world, but greed is narrow in the universe." Yes, as long as we let go of the burden of lust on our shoulders, take the hand of contentment, and cherish what we have and have, we will be able to forge ahead in contentment, and happiness will always be with us.

However, it is often difficult for us to hold back this restless heart, so we keep fighting, taking, and taking because we "don't know it", but success and satisfaction are still so far away from us. Even though we are really sleepy, tired, and tired, we never allow ourselves to rest for a moment, and all this is just for the sake of "contentment". As everyone knows, there is no best in everything, only better, if you have Longwangshu, then you will never be satisfied. When the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates was single, he lived with a few friends in a house of only seven or eight square meters, but he was always happy. Someone asked him: "What's there to be happy about being crowded with so many people, and it's hard to even turn around?" ”

Socrates said, "Is it not a pleasure for friends to be together and to be able to exchange ideas and feelings at any time?" ”

After a while, my friends became families and moved out. Socrates was the only one left in the room, but he was still happy. The man asked, "Now that you are alone, what is there to be happy about?" ”

Socrates said, "I have many books, and one book is a teacher, and how is it not pleasing that I can always ask for advice from so many teachers?" ”

A few years later, Socrates also became a family and moved into a seven-story building. But his home is at the bottom, and the situation at the bottom is very poor, neither quiet, nor safe, nor hygienic. When the man saw that Socrates was still happy, he asked, "Are you happy to live in such a house?" ”

Socrates said, "You don't know how good the first floor is!" For example, entering the door is home, it is convenient to move things, it is convenient for friends to play, and you can also raise flowers and grass in the open space, a lot of fun, you can only understand, you can't say it. ”

After another year, Socrates gave up the ground floor house to a friend. Because this friend had an elderly man with hemiplegia at home, it was inconvenient to go up and down the stairs, and he moved to the top floor of the building. Socrates is still happy every day. The man asked him again, "Sir, what are the advantages of living on the seventh floor?" ”

Socrates said, "There are many benefits! For example, going up and down several times a day is a good exercise and is good for your health; The light is good, and it does not hurt the eyes to read and write; No one was overhead, and it was very quiet day and night. ”

In fact, contentment is nothing more than a thought, when you have the normal needs of life, you feel satisfied, then happiness will follow; If, on the other hand, you ask too much and never stop, then it will be difficult for you to feel happy. A happy person does not have to be rich or powerful, and the reason for happiness is simple - to know how to be content. You must know that the true meaning of happiness is happiness, and happiness often comes from contentment! Contentment will make your life simpler, remove unnecessary burdens for you, broaden your horizons, and relax your body and mind. Make you who you really are, enjoy your true self, and live a relaxed and comfortable life.

Today, however, with consumer culture fueling discontent and increasing material desires, contentment seems to have become quite difficult. There is no doubt that it takes a process of one's own to achieve this mindset, and everyone's life trajectory is different, so there is no one-size-fits-all approach to achieving contentment. But broadly speaking, there are still a few key elements that can help us move toward contentment in life:

First, be grateful. A person who knows how to be grateful will value what he has in life, not what he lacks. In your spare time, you might as well think about what you already have in your life, and whether they should be worthy of your gratitude? Please answer "Yes".

Second, control your mindset. Don't always think "if I get ...... How nice it should be", try to control your life, and remember that happiness does not depend on material things, but on how you live it.

Again, stop comparing. Constantly comparing yourself to others will only lead to dissatisfaction, because there are always people in this world who are better than you in some way. In fact, everyone's life has a good side, and other people's lives are never as good as you think. So remember, your life has always been good.

All in all, life is short for decades, and there is really no need to add too much burden to your soul, let alone have too much dissatisfaction with life. Life is inevitably flawed, as long as you can cherish "what I have", let yourself have a contented heart, and find the bright spots of happiness in life with a normal heart, your heart will be able to stay sunny forever. In this way, life will not be so heavy, and it will not make you full of complaints.

So, if you want to live a little happier, be content! Life is so short, why should we torture ourselves with desire? Only by being content in life can we be happy! Happiness is the only way to be happy.
