We can find happiness today if we only look.Happiness is in our hea rts and asks only to be celebrated and valued.It comes from within.If we fill our mind with pleasant thoughts and try to look on the bright si de,we invite happiness.

No amount of money,possessions,or ego gratification can bring us h appiness.There is no such thing as the perfect car,house,job,or pers on to make us happy.Peace of mind comes with the recognition that happi ness is the state of mind we choose.Being happy today enables us to be happy forever.Today is what counts.

Our fears try to prevent us from feeling joy and pleasure.The fearf ul part of us would like us to be in a constant state of watching over o ur shoulder and of doubting the future.Imagine going to be fitted for n ew glasses.Your sight will be improved.You will see things more clearl y.Consider adjusting your mind in a similar way.As unproductive,unhel pful thoughts creep into your consciousness,replace them with better-fi tting thoughts that focus on joy and pleasure.

如今,我們要是用心尋找,就能找到幸福。幸福需要我們用內心去慶賀和珍視。幸福源自內心。若快樂的思緒填滿我們的大腦,努力看到事物的歡愉之處,我們就能與幸福攜手。

金錢、財產或自滿不能帶給我們幸福。好車、豪宅、工作或某人,也不能使我們幸福。幸福是一種心態,承認這點,安寧的心緒也隨之而至。當下感覺到幸福,我們會永遠幸福。重要的是今天。

恐懼讓我們無法感受歡樂與喜悅。隻要我們內心有恐懼,就會不斷地瞻前顧後。試想一下,新配了一副眼鏡,你的視力會得到改善,你會看得更清晰。考慮一下按著類似的方法調整自己的思維吧。當無用又無益的想法悄悄潛入你的意識,就將改變你的想法,多想想快樂的事情吧。
