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，我们要是用心寻找，就能找到幸福。幸福在心里，需要的只是表扬和重视。幸福源自内心。若快乐的思绪填满我们的大脑，努力看到事物的欢愉之处，我们就能与幸福携手。
金钱、财产或自满不能带给我们幸福。好车、豪宅、工作或某人，也不能使我们幸福。幸福是我们的精神状态，承认这点，安宁的心绪也便随之而至。幸福今日可使我们幸福永远。今天更有价值。
恐惧让我们无法感受欢乐与喜悦。左顾右盼和忧虑未来的持续状态，是我们最可怕的部分。试想一下，新配了一副眼镜，你的视力会得到改善，你会看得更清晰。考虑一下按着类似的方法调整自己的思维吧。当无用又无益的想法悄悄潜入你的意识，就将精力聚焦在快乐之事上，用更好、更适合的思想替代它们吧。
