Suffering is the Door to Happiness - What I Realized as a Housewife

Repeat the same thing every day.

Laundry, cooking, cleaning, children, household expenses...

To be honest, there are days when I wonder why things aren't going my way.

The other day, my eyes stopped at the words in a book.

"Suffering is a test of heaven. If you endure and strive, good results will come."

And this was also written.

Suffering is a danger signal of the unnaturalness of life and the distortion of the mind, and here is the gate to happiness.

I was thrilled.

I was wondering if it was a sign that something was a little off.

That I had been swept away by busyness and put off my feelings.

I had accumulated dissatisfaction with my husband in my heart.

I bound myself with the assumption that "this should be the way it should be."

Suffering is not because you are weak.

Maybe it's just telling me that something in my life is a little off.

There was also this word in the book.

"Enter from the narrow gate, and the gate to destruction is great, and the way is wide, and many enter from it. The gate to life is narrow..."

I think housewives are like walking a narrow and steep road every day.

There is no correct answer, step by step with your own feet.

But if there is a light ahead.

If in the depths of hardship, the stage of bright happiness is prepared.

Today, I might try to move forward with a smile and a shout of rays.

Even a hard door will surely open if you push it firmly with your feet.

Suffering is the narrow gate into happiness.

When I thought so, I felt that today's housework seemed a little different.

... Read more主婦の毎日は、繰り返しの家事や育児に追われ、その大変さに押しつぶされそうになることも多いですよね。私も同じように感じることがありました。けれども、苦難は単なる試練ではなく、自分の生活や心の状態を見直すチャンスだと気づくことで、気持ちに大きな変化がありました。 例えば、「苦難は生活の不自然さや心のゆがみの映った危険信号」という言葉に出会い、自分の中で溜まっていたストレスや不満を認めることの大切さに気がつきました。夫とのコミュニケーションが減っていたり、「こうあるべき」という固定観念に縛られていたことも、苦しさの一因だったかもしれません。 こうした気づきがあると、日々の忙しさの中にも前向きな光を見出せるものです。私の場合、ちょっとした家事の合間に自分の気持ちを整理したり、家族と笑顔で接する時間を増やすことで、心が少しずつ軽くなりました。 また、苦難は「狭き門より入れ」という教えのように、楽な道ではないからこそ大切な成長の扉だと実感しています。主婦の役割は目に見えにくいですが、この険しい道のりを一歩ずつ進むことが、幸福につながるのだと思います。 同じように悩む人には、苦しい時こそ自分を責めず、少し立ち止まって心の声を聴いてみることをおすすめします。苦難の先にある光を信じて、笑顔を忘れず生活を整えていきましょう。そうやって歩むことで、毎日の家事や子育ても、少し違って見えてくるはずです。

The image displays a page from 'A Course In Miracles Lesson 103,' titled 'God, being Love, is also happiness.' The text explains that happiness is an attribute of limitless love, correcting the false belief that God is fear. It encourages practicing this truth to replace fear with joy. A Lemon8 watermark and @movingstill_path handle are visible.
