Where Is Happiness
佚名 / Anonymous
We can find happiness today if we only look. Happiness is in our hearts 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 side， we invite happiness.
No amount of money， possessions， or ego gratification can bring us happiness. There is no such thing as the perfect car， house， job， or person to make us happy. Peace of mind comes with the recognition that happiness 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 fearful part of us would like us to be in a constant state of watching over our shoulder and of doubting the future. Imagine going to be fitted for new glasses. Your sight will be improved. You will see things more clearly. Consider adjusting your mind in a similar way. As unproductive， unhelpful thoughts creep into your consciousness， replace them with better-fitting thoughts that focus on joy and pleasure.
如今，我們要是用心尋找，就能找到幸福。幸福在心裏，需要的隻是表揚和重視。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。幸福是我們的精神狀態，承認這點，安寧的心緒也便隨之而至。幸福今日可使我們幸福永遠。今天更有價值。
恐懼讓我們無法感受歡樂與喜悅。左顧右盼和憂慮未來的持續狀態，是我們最可怕的部分。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，就將精力聚焦在快樂之事上，用更好、更適合的思想替代它們吧。
