… A completely individual thing. For some, happiness is a full wallet, for others a full heart. For some, the first morning rays are lucky, and for some, good morning at noon. Some are happy when it rains, and some when they smell coffee. Some find happiness in reading, others in swimming. Some are happy on Saturdays and some on Tuesdays.
"People try a thousand times more to gain material than spiritual wealth, although it is quite certain that our happiness is created by what we are, and not by what we have."
Arthur Schopenhauer
Happiness is in us, it is not outside us - everything that is around us and what we strive for in life, can disappear from our lives in just one moment. But we are always left alone. Money and work and home and other people can disappear, but we are always left alone. That is why it is important that we have a good relationship with ourselves, and then external circumstances and people will harmonize with everything around us. The process is never reversed.
It is important to calm down - if we want to learn how to experience true inner happiness, which is lasting, it is important to calm down. If we are honest, it will not be difficult for us to understand and accept this. There is not a single thing that we can learn or see nicely in life without devoting ourselves to it. Our lives are shaped by what our attention is on. If we do five things at the same time, we are not committed to any of them, we are not calm and we will not do any of them properly. If we really dedicate ourselves to something, it will give a good result. That is why it is important to practice calming down, now and here, in order to create a basis for being happy.
It is important to observe and gradually acquire knowledge about ourselves - everything we want to learn in life, it is necessary to dedicate ourselves to it, to observe the facts, to get to know them and continue to learn about it. Awareness of inner happiness means that we gradually get to know ourselves in the same way. To calm down and observe our thoughts and emotions, we direct our attention to them, so that we know what we should work on, what we should reject, what we should improve and the like. Everything is in us and patiently waiting for its turn.
Patience is crucial for everything that is good in our lives - a very important characteristic of every person is patience. Nothing that is good in life comes right away, it all takes patience. So it is with getting to know yourself. We often tend to forget how much negative thinking, sadness, nervousness we have brought into ourselves, and we would like it all to disappear immediately. That's not possible. Nature has arranged it that way. We sleep at night to gather strength for daily activities. We are cold in winter, but we warm up in summer, it rains to feed the dry land so that the plants can grow. Why would a man be different? It doesn't always have to be simple, but patience is also a learning virtue.
