Life is often rough, try to find a bright spot for yourself every day

In your ordinary life every day, have you ever tried to store those shining pearls? Maybe those small and insignificant things have been forgotten by you.

Do you repeat yourself day after day, doing things you don’t like, and then falling asleep with a tired body and a sigh? It seems that this has never happened to me. I don’t fall asleep every day anxious because of something that happened that day. I tend to forgive the trauma that the world has brought me every night, and I don’t carry any hostility or anger in my heart. , and often fall asleep peacefully with gratitude and hope. Over the years, I've developed a little secret that makes my day feel like it's worth it.

In the first year when I started working, I fought on the stage of high school education with my colleagues who joined the company. At that time, we had just left school and signed a contract together, and we had a lot of understanding and * **Same topic. The new teacher was assigned to an office. After class, we often sat together and chatted without any scruples. At that time, we actually had a hard time every day.

I remember one day a male colleague said he was going to buy meat. We didn’t know why we laughed at him. He said seriously: “In my life now, the only highlight every day is eating meat!”

We really laughed when we heard this sentence, laughing that the only highlight of his life was being able to cook a meal with meat. The laughter at work eased the tense rhythm and also reflected the monotony and gloominess of our work. I still remember that sentence very deeply. Since then, the word "highlight" has become a popular word for us.

When we joked or told jokes and made everyone laugh, she smiled and said to me: "This joke you told is the only highlight of my day. I live by this joke." "

On the school bus back from self-study in the evening, I didn't mind the presence of the old teacher singing popular songs. You said something to me. When I got off the bus and said goodbye, I said: "The only highlight of my day is the evening chorus. "

And the highlights of my day are:

Watching a very touching movie before going to bed is the highlight of life;

Student He said something to me, expressing his deep love for me, which is the highlight of life;

During the day, he found wild olives and made a big bowl of olive preserves, which was the highlight of life;

……

Later, I gradually formed a habit of recording at least one thing that made me happy every day, no matter how small it is, such as a look, a word, a flower , can become the highlight of my life.

At that time, I gave myself one year to stay in Huacheng. Because I wanted to give up stability and pursue my ideals, I lived hard every day, treated the students and colleagues I met seriously, and Invest. In order to record the beautiful little things in life, I created a document called "One Happy Thing Every Day" and kept recording it every day. I wanted to record these shining places and treat them as gifts for encounters.

At the beginning, I hoped that even if only one happy thing happened in a day, I would be grateful enough. But because I treat life and the people I meet with my heart, I can sometimes record more than 10 happy little things in an ordinary day. I wanted to record 100 happy little things, thinking that when I left them, I would have no regrets, but it turned out that there were so many little things that I forgot to mark the serial numbers. Because I had so many bright spots that year, it made me feel that one year was as unforgettable as several years had passed. It was like I was living a prosperous life by myself. After I left the Flower City, I stopped recording, but one day I opened it and found that the biographies of those elves shining with joy had exceeded 30,000 words.

Later, I reluctantly left to develop in a big city. This habit of recording highlights was forgotten by me for a while, or to be honest, it was because of a new round of setbacks. It's hard to have a few happy things happen here.

Maybe my mentality hadn't been properly adjusted at that time, and I hadn't created more possibilities in life.

But in the years that followed, this habit became a pen that stayed with me. Now, I will insist on writing a diary every day. Amidst all the anxiety and pressure, I will definitely record at least one thing that makes me happy that happens in the day, and one thing that can make me smile before falling asleep. , so that my day can be considered valuable.

Troubles will eventually fade away, but happy little things will remain as time goes by. So if my life is an endless river, the river running forward will always be shining with dimples as gorgeous as cherry blossoms, and like pearls that are difficult to hide their light. The beauty connected together is my life with heart. Then give yourself the gift of life.

When I transitioned from middle school to elementary school, I started to feel a little uncomfortable. The students and I couldn't have the same level of emotional communication. Sometimes they couldn't understand the jokes I told. The school didn't seem to have the same leadership as before. Take me so seriously. But I still believe that I can teach students at every stage well, and I also firmly believe that teaching at the elementary school level is more meaningful. Although it doesn’t sound as prestigious as teaching at the university level, people who understand can feel the rare meaning. From that adjustment period, I became even more sure that my life after making a new choice must be as good as new, that my trip must be worthwhile, and that I must be worthy of my sacrifices and choices, so I tell myself every day: As long as I can get one or two in a day A fragment of life that can be remembered is also a successful and happy day. At the beginning of my life, I will always encounter some setbacks, either from students or parents, but every night when I pick up my pen, I will always record a happy thing.

If my notebook is like a book, each chapter flows naturally, with twists and turns, or smoothly. Those small highlights are like smiling faces that interpret the uncompromising meaning of a tiring life. Persistence stands like an undefeated flower in time. Don’t give in, be creative, have persistence, and have a smile.

Looking back now, we loved to joke about the phrase "the only bright spot in life" that year. I followed it seriously and it became a habit. This is actually what Haruki Murakami said about "small happiness". He explained it as "small but definite happiness". Those fleeting beauties that flow in every moment are inner tolerance and satisfaction, and are a reflection of life. With gratitude and cherishment, only in this way can we get the simplest happiness in life. He finally said: "Without this little luck, life would be just like a dry desert."

He wrote down the small blessings he recorded during the day:

"I changed the scented body lotion with a new fragrance. After taking a shower, I applied it slowly, and my whole body was filled with the fragrance of magnolia flowers. The soft taste is my tiny but definite happiness; I set Makino Yui’s song as your ringtone, which belongs only to you. Whenever this song rings on my phone, it is my tiny but definite happiness..."

And I also have a lot of small but definite happiness: He wrote "Teacher Ke is the queen of animals.

"When you smile, you are as cute as a rabbit, when you are fierce, you are as powerful as a lion, and when you correct your homework, you are as quiet as a goldfish." This is my small but definite happiness;

The first time I cooked Sichuan cuisine, Mapo Tofu and boiled meat slices are very successful, which is my small but definite happiness;

Washing my grandma’s hair and listening to her stories about her childhood is my small but definite happiness;

On your birthday, you can play and sing a level 5 song very skillfully on the guitar and give it to yourself as a gift. It is a small but definite happiness;

Use two small toothpicks to tie a stable The ball head is a tiny but definite happiness;

On the way back from school, a withered sycamore leaf floated down from the tree. When I ran to catch it with my hands, I walked beside me. The student next to me caught the leaves with both hands one step ahead of me, and gave the sycamore leaves to me with a pure smile. This is also my small but definite happiness;

…

I also long for the waves of life and like vigorous things. But whenever I think about those happy and long-lasting things, it is not that I have done many vigorous things, visited several countries, and met a few special people. None of the great characters are as meaningful as the little things that happen around me. I love poetry and distance, but I also love the "suffering" day after day, because life is never in other places, but in my own hands and the things that happen around me. This is the most real life.

A friend once looked at my living situation and said that the word "comfortable" seems to come to me easily. In fact, it is not that easy to come by. I am just used to it. While recording the good things that have happened, I have developed the ability to create the life I want. It is no longer boring, but it is about cherishing the good things and creating happiness.

I am not a hedonic personality in the Nine Palaces type as a classmate said. In fact, I don’t understand this. If I really want to say what type of personality I want, I think I should be a creative personality. In the days when you are often helpless and confused, you should create your own real little happiness. Every day is not a process of opening and closing your eyes. Some people come back from work to sleep. Sleeping is for tomorrow's work. Between work and life. In balance, there is something created and something gained. Every day there will be at least one highlight of my life. The journey of life is not just waiting, but also my own true and powerful creation.

Because I am serious. Observe and experience with your heart, feel with your heart, and record honestly, so that life can flow with vitality. No matter how dark the journey is, there will always be a sparkling link like a diamond necklace. Even if you do not achieve a higher goal in this life, The trajectory of my life is no longer so bleak. In the quiet river of time, light will shine even in the dark, illuminating the pace of progress.

Everyone has his own light. Most of the things that can make you hold your head high come from your creations; only those who concentrate on living in the present can get closer to the true beauty of those peach blossoms. In fact, everyone can have it, but some people live in a chaotic society and find it difficult or unwilling to calm down and appreciate the small but definite happiness around them. If you feel it with your heart like me, you can also find some small beauty around you everywhere, and you will have a strong sense of happiness easily and happily, which can warm you in the dry and cool years.

Life is not somewhere else, it is not dead silence, it is an endless river that flows silently.

The thirteenth love letter to the imperfect world, written to plainness.
