You receive a promotion and are extremely proud. As the day goes by, you share your great news with your loved ones and find yourself feeling increasingly happy. Fast forward a week later, and although you are still feeling proud, the happiness you initially felt is dwindling, and your success has become just another check on your list. 你得到升职,别提有多自豪了。在这一天,你和自己爱的人分享好消息,感觉越发快乐。一星期后,尽管你仍觉得自豪,最初的快乐却在消逝,而你的成功,只成了你在自己清单上打勾的一项。 You are not sure why, but know this is a cycle you find yourself in often -- a cycle where your happiness seems to be temporary and your success is short lived. 你不明白为什么,但知道这是一个你常常经历的循环——在这个循环里,你的快乐看似短暂,你的成功转瞬即逝。 This form of happiness is not true happiness, which is why it did not last. True happiness exists within and does not waver regardless of the circumstances you find yourself in. It does not come from a promotion or a vacation, it comes from moving forward as life does. Everyone is born with happiness, but as you experience life, it becomes tainted by situations or people. Getting to a point where you are again tapping into your true happiness can be very challenging, particularly for people who are sensitive, intuitive, or empathic, but here you will find seven steps to help make the process easier for yourself. |
