Happiness is comparing yourself to others - Crypto Web3 digital currency exchange platform
Comparing myself to others brings happiness
Having walked in society for many years,
Meeting many people,
Seeing many things,
Gradually from anger to calmness,
Because I realize this world is too big,
Some people can’t even fill their stomachs,
Clothe themselves properly,
Some have luxury cars and mansions,
Day and night they are in vogue.
The gap between people,
Sometimes is really bigger than between humans and dogs,
So there’s a saying in folk,
Called "There are always people better than you,
And skies higher than the sky."
In the past, I would wonder,
Why is this world so unfair? Why do some people get things they work hard for their whole lives,
While others have them from birth?
Until recently,
I slowly understood this question,
That is, everyone’s life is unique,
Everyone’s fate is different,
In other words,
Each person’s challenges and tests are different.
Just like the second-generation rich,
They may never shake off their parents’ shadow in their lifetime,
No matter how capable they are,
In the eyes of others,
They are just benefiting from family help,
And that is their pain.
There is a saying,
This world is a huge city wall,
People inside want to come out,
People outside want to get in,
That’s roughly what it means,
While envying others,
Others are also envying us.
Just like when we were kids and envied adults,
Thinking they could buy whatever they wanted,
Go wherever they wanted,
But what about when we grow up? When we see children playing on the street,
I look at him,
He looks at me,
At this moment,
What are we thinking in our hearts?
So, this person,
Don’t compare,
Don’t compare with anyone,
Compare only with yourself,
Comparing with others is full of pain,
Comparing with yourself,
Is full of happiness.
Because comparing with others is a bottomless pit,
You will never be satisfied,
Nor happy,
Let alone how happy life can be.
Compare only with yourself,
Today better than yesterday,
Tomorrow better than today,
Progress every day,
Get better every day,
Only then,
Can you feel the joy of life,
Feel the completeness of life.
Like I have been doing daily lessons for almost two months,
I feel very fulfilled every day,
Sleep with hope every night,
Because I know,
Tomorrow will definitely be better,
So I am very happy,
Always smiling.
This is not some Qiqi spirit,
Nor self-comfort,
This is life wisdom,
Just like we envy millionaires,
And millionaires envy ten-millionaires,
Ten-millionaires feel they are nothing,
Envy billionaires,
Endless,
So is your life lived for yourself,
Or for these desires?
Life is your own,
No matter how you live,
The ending is the same,
It will turn into a handful of dirt,
Nourishing the earth,
Waiting for new life to break the ground,
And start anew.
Then why live every day in the pain of comparison? I always feel,
Use your ability to do what you can,
I am worth this much now,
Then I will live a life that matches it,
And move towards my ideals.
What is an ideal? It is a hopeful hypothesis based on my own traits and talents,
Plus market judgment,
But the premise is that it must be feasible,
Otherwise, it’s just a dream.
Just like the Wright brothers,
If you only think about flying every day,
That’s just a dream,
If you think about,
How to fly,
What is the principle of flight? And then take action to verify,
That is called an ideal.
My ideal is to open my eyes and see the world,
I want to understand how the world really works,
And who I really am,
At the same time,
I also hope to share what I see,
To influence more people,
Let more people open their eyes and see the world,
That’s what I think,
And that’s what I do.
I know this process requires a long period of learning,
And during this time,
Almost no one pays attention,
No one understands,
But it doesn’t matter,
Because this is what I truly love,
My life is defined by myself,
Whether good or bad, it’s what I sought,
Has nothing to do with others,
So I am willing to bear the possible consequences.
With ideals,
There is direction,
With direction, there is action,
The rest,
Is up to time!
