How we view happiness and misery over time falls into 4 categories:
1. Be miserable today for a miserable life tomorrow.
It’s a shame that sadness is present your entire life. You’re a downright pessimist.
2. Be happy today for a miserable life tomorrow.
This thought is worrying. You only seek short-lived pleasure.
3. Be miserable today for a happy life tomorrow.
This attitude is seen as patience and diligence. But be careful not to torture yourself too much.
4. Be happy today for a happy life tomorrow.
This is seen as harmony, which is rare.
Always observe yourself.
1. Currently what category do you fall into?
2. Are you satisfied with your current category?
3. If not, which one would you like to change to?
4. What process will bring you to your desired category?
Anyone who follows this instruction will have a better understanding of their true self.
In fact, no one has to dwell in misery.
It isn’t wrong to be happy as long as what you do doesn’t harm you and others.
People who are unhappy within themselves are inclined to restrict the happiness of those around them.
People who are happy within themselves will never allow those around them to be miserable.
This is because we place ourselves at the center of gravity, and then try to influence others to become like us.
How we see ourselves is how we see others.
Because no one else is real but our other selves who see ourselves as other people
A lot of books suggest the same, that if we want to change others or the world, we must change ourselves first. Because when we change…
We will look at the world and others differently.
We will think of the world and others differently.
From now on when faced with problems, always ask yourself this question: “What does this thing teach me?”
This question will train you to always look for the latent good.
When you have your answers, keep them as lessons. Carry them in your mind.
So you don’t repeat the same mistake and are ready to start anew. If you should fall again… it will be okay.
