心灵对话-每天胜利一点点

 The little victories of each day

 

每天胜利一点点。

 

 

Sometimes the human mind operates in mysterious ways when it comes to achievements and happiness. We dream of something and we wait and wait and feel like it's taking forever to arrive. Then it does and it's over, and all we really want is to curl back up in that moment before things change again.

 

 

Although there's nothing wrong with enjoying a fulfilled dream, you must realize that it's just one small moment of your life. Like every other moment, this one instance of victory is fleeting¹.

 

Lifelong happiness is not found in any one particular moment, it's found in all the moments and memories leading up to our inevitable² sunset –all the small victories of each day that fall between the big events.

 

Ultimately you will realize that your highest aspirations³ should just be a target –a point on the horizon to step towards.

 

 

You may not ever reach it, but you can always look up after every small step and see beauty of where that step has taken you.
