"Happiness" is not the destination, but "on the way."

Many people may think that true happiness may be the success or destination we expected, but perhaps it will not be like that if we try to change the perspective. Sometimes happiness may be on the way we are moving forward. Sometimes we have to try to enjoy the little things in front of us, maybe not waiting to succeed, but just today we are comfortable. Just today we have eaten a delicious meal or that we want to eat pearl milk tea and we have eaten as our hearts hope. Only that may not have to succeed with a lot of money as expected or succeed in what we hoped. Try to change the perspective. Could be happier.

"Sometimes if we try to stop looking for happiness,

We may find true happiness. "

The idea that "happiness is on the way" and "happiness in the little things" are truths that many people overlook in this rushed life.

That we have stopped and appreciated what is happening in the present moment, be it:

• Having a delicious meal

• The comfort achieved that day

• To follow small desires, such as drinking pearl milk tea

These are the most tangible pleasures and the most important positive energy in our daily lives.

🧭 Changing outlook to lasting happiness.

• Mindfulness: Not expecting uncertain destinations makes us conscious of what we are doing now, which brings real peace and happiness.

• Reduce Pressure: Lowering the expectation that happiness comes with great success or a lot of money will reduce the pressure of life a lot, allowing us to live more freely and naturally.

• Cumulative Happiness: Being happy with the little things every day is like accumulating happiness points. Together, it is a greater and more lasting happiness than waiting for a single big happiness at the destination.

The saying "Sometimes if we try to stop seeking happiness, we can find true happiness" is the most true, because when we stop seeking, we start to see the good things that surround us right now, encouraging everyone. 🫶# Develop yourself # Happy in the heart # Happiness on the way # Happiness is closer than you think # Thoughts

... Read moreช่วงที่เรา “เหนื่อย” มากๆ เรามักเผลอคิดว่า ถ้าไปถึงจุดนั้นให้ได้—มีเงินมากขึ้น งานดีขึ้น ความสัมพันธ์ลงตัว—เราถึงจะมีความสุข แต่พอลองสังเกตตัวเองจริงๆ จะพบว่า ต่อให้ถึงเป้าหมายแล้ว ความสุขก็อยู่ได้ไม่นาน เดี๋ยวเราก็จะตั้งเป้าใหม่ แล้วกลับไปกดดันตัวเองเหมือนเดิม สิ่งที่ช่วยเราได้ในวันที่ใจล้า คือการยอมรับว่า “ความสุขไม่ได้อยู่ที่ปลายทาง แต่อยู่ระหว่างทาง” และระหว่างทางนี่แหละที่เราจับต้องได้ทุกวัน เราเริ่มจากเรื่องง่ายๆ เช่น ระหว่างนั่งรถกลับบ้าน ลองมองแสงเย็นที่ส่องผ่านกระจก หรือมองท้องฟ้าตอนพระอาทิตย์ตก แล้วหายใจช้าๆ สัก 3 รอบ แค่นี้ความรู้สึกในใจมันนิ่งขึ้นอย่างแปลกๆ เหมือนได้พัก แม้ชีวิตไม่ได้เปลี่ยนทันที แต่ใจเราเบาลงทันที วิธี “ใช้ชีวิตให้มีความสุข” แบบที่เราทำบ่อยๆ (และได้ผลจริง) คือ 1) ลดคำว่า “ต้อง” ลงทีละนิด จาก “ต้องเก่ง ต้องรวย ต้องสำเร็จ” เปลี่ยนเป็น “ขอทำให้ดีขึ้นวันนี้นิดเดียว” ความสุขของชีวิตบางทีคือการไม่กดตัวเองให้หนักเกินไป 2) ตั้งเป้าเล็กๆ ที่ทำได้ภายในวันเดียว เช่น เดินยืดเส้น 10 นาที เก็บโต๊ะให้โล่ง ดื่มน้ำให้ครบ หรือให้รางวัลตัวเองด้วยของเล็กๆ อย่างชานมไข่มุกที่อยากกิน พอทำได้จริง เราจะได้ความรู้สึกสำเร็จแบบพอดีๆ ซึ่งเป็นพลังต่อชีวิตมาก 3) ฝึกอยู่กับปัจจุบันแบบไม่ต้องเพอร์เฟกต์ (Mindfulness ง่ายๆ) เวลาอาบน้ำ กินข้าว หรือเดินทาง ลองโฟกัสแค่สิ่งเดียวที่ทำอยู่ ไม่ต้องห้ามคิด แค่รู้ทันว่า “ตอนนี้ใจลอยแล้วนะ” แล้วกลับมาอยู่กับปัจจุบันใหม่ 4) สะสม “แต้มความสุข” ทุกวัน เขียน 3 อย่างที่ทำให้โอเควันนี้ เช่น ได้กินของอร่อย ได้คุยกับเพื่อน ได้พักสายตาจากจอ 5 นาที ความสุขเล็กๆ พอรวมกันมันกลายเป็นความสุขที่ยั่งยืนกว่าการรอครั้งใหญ่ คำคมสบายๆ ที่เราชอบใช้เตือนใจคือ: “ไม่ต้องมีความสุขตลอดเวลา แค่มีช่วงที่สบายใจก็พอ” เพราะความสุขของชีวิตไม่ใช่การวิ่งให้ถึงเส้นชัยอย่างเดียว แต่คือการได้หายใจ ได้มองท้องฟ้า และได้อยู่กับตัวเองอย่างอ่อนโยนในระหว่างทางด้วย
