[00:00:00] 第23期人生感悟(3)-英语听力

[00:00:11] Where is Happiness?

[00:00:13] Life is like a winding path

[00:00:15] surrounded by flowers, butterflies,

[00:00:18] and delicious fruits,

[00:00:20] but many of us spend much time

[00:00:22] looking for happiness around the next corner.

[00:00:25] We do not bend to enjoy the happiness

[00:00:28] which is ours for the taking just at our feet.

[00:00:32] We can find happiness today if we only look.

[00:00:35] Happiness is in our hearts

[00:00:37] and asks only to be celebrated and valued.

[00:00:41] It comes from within.

[00:00:43] If we fill our mind with pleasant thoughts

[00:00:46] and try to look on the bright side,

[00:00:49] we invite happiness.

[00:00:51] Our fears try to prevent us

[00:00:53] from feeling joy and pleasure.

[00:00:56] The fearful part of us would like us

[00:00:59] to be in a constant state of

[00:01:00] watching over our shoulder

[00:01:03] and of doubting the future.

[00:01:05] Imagine going to be fitted for new glasses.

[00:01:08] Your sight will be improved,

[00:01:10] and you will see things more clearly.

[00:01:12] Consider adjusting your mind in a similar way.

[00:01:16] As unproductive, unhelpful thoughts

[00:01:19] creep into your consciousness,

[00:01:20] replace them with better-fitting thoughts

[00:01:23] that focus on joy and pleasure.

[00:01:26] Happiness is all around us,

[00:01:28] but it often comes in small grains.

[00:01:31] When we gather it grain by grain,

[00:01:33] we soon have a basketful.
