170 quotes that pierce the heart.

What do you think about "happiness"?

In response to a universal theme,

I love the time to find my own answers.

I heard "Alan's Theory of Happiness" in various places,

I was finally able to pick it up.

The original is a high hurdle,

What is being translated at this size,

I really appreciate it...!

Five phrases that particularly impressed me this time

Here's what i thought from there.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

💬 never been a happy person who looks for an excuse other than himself.

When something inconvenient happens,

If you look for the cause outside,

I can't help it anymore.

However, at the time of being involved in that "inconvenience,"

I can't be irrelevant.

At least I chose the environment myself.

People who can move to action with such a thought circuit,

I guess I'm moving forward to a happy life.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

💬 fact settles the game of possibilities.

Anxiety and expectations of "maybe."

It's an emotion that everyone has, right?

Focus on what is in front of you.

As written in any self-help book,

There is no one who can always execute.

Me too.

That's why I want to remind myself regularly.

The future can be changed by how we spend today.

But the past can only change the "interpretation" of the facts.

When you repeat the same past,

If you have a negative image,

I think it's good to reconsider your own interpretation.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

💬 you have studied, it would not be so great if you stopped learning.

"The era of 'learning history', not 'academic background'"

A phrase that I consistently value on this account.

Education is "proof of past ability," but

It is not a "proof of current ability."

people who show off their education

"I haven't changed anything from before."

Something like spreading it.

It is natural to think "Wow!" when listening to high education.

But at that moment,

That the expected value goes up

Don't forget.

More than I talk about the past.

"What are you doing now?"

"What are you trying to do?"

I like people who are happy to talk,

You can feel happy.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

💬 everything you receive from others depends on what you give to them.

People who only ask for others,

Happiness is too dependent on others.

People who get what they really want,

Someone who gives before receiving.

When you often hear complaints from the surroundings and feel depressed,

Aren't you also complaining together?

If you hate this space,

leave the environment,

Decide not to complain about yourself.

The latter is not recommended.

You have to give yourself what you want.

I can't get it.

what you don't want, you have to act.

Because it's falling more and more.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

💬 the best thing you can do for those who love you is to make yourself happy.

This is really empathy.

I want to please important people and make them happy.

That feeling is very important.

But if it's your important person,

Surely that person also thinks about me

I think you're thinking (I want to think).

Even though I'm not in a good mood and not happy,

Is it possible to give someone happiness?

"Even if you put yourself off, you want the other person's happiness."

It looks great at first glance, but it is

"I sacrifice myself to make the other person happy."

It may only be a self-satisfied sense of superiority.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

It's really fun to deepen your thoughts like this.

My head is really tired,

I want to do it for about 3 hours every day...!

What is "happiness" for you?

... Read more『アランの幸福論』の名言って、短いのに「今の自分の癖」をズバッと見抜かれた感じがして、読み返すたびに効き方が変わるのが面白いです。私は“名言集”として眺めるだけだと気持ちよく終わってしまうので、刺さった言葉を1つだけ選んで、生活の中で試すようにしています。 たとえば「自分以外に言い訳を探すような人が幸せだったためしはない。」を読んだ日は、うまくいかなかった原因を“人や環境”に置きそうになったタイミングで、いったん紙に「自分が選べたこと」を3つ書き出しました。配置換えはできなくても、話し方・頼み方・期限の切り方みたいに“自分側で動かせる部分”は案外あります。ここが見えると、責めるためじゃなくて「次の一手」が作りやすくなって、結果的に気分が軽くなりました。 「事実は可能性の勝負に決着をつけている。」は、不安で頭がいっぱいなときの鎮静剤みたいな名言だと思います。私は“最悪の未来”を想像しがちなので、「今、確定している事実は何?」「まだ起きてない“かもしれない”は何?」を分けます。確定している事実だけを扱うと、やることが急に小さくなって、今日の行動に戻れました。 「学ぶことをもうやめてしまったら、それほどすばらしいことではない。」は、学歴というより“更新の習慣”の話に聞こえました。私が続いたのは、いきなり難しい勉強をするより、読書→1行メモ→翌日に1回使う、の3点セット。名言も同じで、心に刺さるフレーズを見つけたら、手帳に写して「今週どこで使える?」まで考えると定着します。 あと、画像の「まず、自分がほほえまなくて、誰がほほえむのか。」みたいな言葉は、対人ストレスが強い日に効きました。無理に愛想よくするというより、“こちらが険しい顔のままだと空気も固まる”という現実の話で。最初の一言だけ柔らかくする、相手の良かった点を1つ言う、など小さくやると続けやすいです。 『アランの幸福論』の名言は、「幸福=気分」だけじゃなくて、「幸福=習慣と行動」に引き戻してくれる感じがしました。気になった名言を1つだけ選んで、3日間試す。これだけでも、読後の満足で終わらず、自分の幸福の輪郭が少しはっきりしてくると思います。
