read scriptures then tons of happiness

[@zodiacfml]

this is equivalent to a person to telling us to be grateful. but it is meaningless, or it is easier said than done. I think I've found a way for gratefulness to arise from within, it is to refrain from chasing comfort and fun all the time. If you are person who goes to all available parties and events, then the rest of your lifestyle or simple things will feel dull and become ungrateful. Instead of a very comfortable set temperature for a room or house why not adjust it a tiny bit warmer or colder or not use HVAC during days/seasons where it is possible. I have downgraded or simplified my life for almost 7 years that I don't need the average employment. I am happiest and minimized stress in my life I've ever been. The risk of breaking this peace is looking at or spending too much time on social media, where i feel like I'm doing my life wrong.

My takeaway: "If you are grateful, you act out of a sense of enough rather than a sense of scarcity, and you're willing to share. If you are grateful, you enjoy the differences between people and are respectful to everybody." I experienced a major change in my life last year. Because of that, I became unemployed and still haven't found a job. Despite this, I struggled to be grateful in the given situation and became overwhelmed with worry. 😢

I am a University student and live in Tokyo by myself. I can do what I want so I watch anime and use my smartphone freely. However, I can't feel super happy: something is missing and my heart doesn't feel satisfied. I haven't experienced this feeling but after I watched this movie, I realized why I feel unsatisfied: I have missed my family very much. Spending time with someone I like is the most worthy thing for me. This worthy feeling would be similar to the happiness and gratefulness introduced in the video.

I can definitely relate to your situation. I was in California, where I had planned to study in the U.S., and I stayed there for about 8 months.

I asked myself, ‘What do I really value in life?’ and I realized that being with my family and the people I love is what truly matters to me. That’s why I returned to my home country and am now preparing for a school that I never thought I would pursue. But I’m really proud of you friend!

One thing I've learned lately is to avoid drama. News is the biggest source of drama in the world, and it's almost constant everywhere you go. Every day I'd read the news, watch clips and articles and keep up to date with everything going on. But it stressed me out terribly. Then I asked myself; how much of this do I really need to know? I'm Canadian, and while it might seem important to keep an eye on things happening in Eastern Europe, I came to the conclusion that it didn't really matter to me. My ability to effect it is basically zero, and its ability to effect me is 0. The news was just stressing me out. Same with everything going on in the USA. I can't change anything happening down there, but the constant barrage of negative news articles talking about the latest shooting, riots and w/e was stressing me out. But really, there is nothing I can do about it at all. Why should I spend any time, effort or stress on matters I literally can't do anything about? I'll listen to the local news, and that's it. I hear a little bit at work, but generally, I've shut down anything but the local news and I feel better. I'm not stressing or angry about things happening across the world.

I've noticed this with my mother, who has recently retired. She has a news channel on constantly for most of the day, even if she is not watching it. And if she's not watching TV she's watching political things on KZbin and posts on Facebook. I have noticed how miserable and bitter she has become. Ironic, because she always acted like working makes her miserable, but I would say she was happier then, because at least she had hours focusing on something else. Would love to try and encourage her to try reading, because she used to read a lot when I was young, but she hasn't picked up a book in years, sacrificing all the time she claimed to craved from retirement into facebook scrolling.

I'm conflicted, I agree that news is stressful as is being involved in politics in general.

I cannot at peace today because of worriness about things about to happen. I understand that this too shall pass, but it's hard to not thinking when I have been doing that for 30 years, and everything, everybody around me remind me of that. Yes, it would be easier if I am by myself, alone. However, it's impossible since I had to take of my disabled parents, my wife, my child and my future child. And if I am just by myself, death would be much more easier thing to do. Yes, keep a positive thinking/mindset or whatever is ok, a nice thing to have. Trying to do that. But it's really hard when the tomorrow looks darker everyday, and everyone, everything will tell you otherwise.

If the key to happiness is simply "Stop, Look, and Go," why aren't we all happy? I would suggest that both our circumstances and our human nature are very complicated and daily in conflict with each other. We are often afraid and we want what we don't have. We see a world where people of wealth, beauty, fame, and power seem to be happy as they live a life which they largely choose to live. It is hard to be grateful when life feels unfair and broken.

That is all . when you are grateful you will acknowledge all of the things you do have if you want power, wealth, money then go ahead work for it but dont sit and whine that you dont have it and they do take it if thats what makes you happy in life .....but yeah its true not all People who have that are happy and here we are not talking about materialistic things we are talking about perspective

Events that happen to us and around us have the power to make us happy or unhappy. However, the joy we derive from positive experiences often diminishes with repetition. It’s like riding a roller coaster-during the first ride, the thrill takes your breath away, but with each subsequent ride, the excitement wanes. This phenomenon reflects how humans adapt to pleasure, a concept known as hedonic adaptation. To sustain happiness, we must seek out new experiences, savor fleeting moments, and learn to find joy in the small, everyday things that we might otherwise take for granted.
