I was alone for like 15 day's. With my grandmother.
No one called, my father used to call me once in a week because they all were busy in some real work.
It was cool and peaceful in the beginning but then thing's started to haunting me. Day's were obvious because I used to clean my paralyzed grandma and then do some household works, cleaning, washing, and all kept me busy. But nights were the hardest.
Night's bought some real overthinking gifts for me. I'm still 19, not a women. I'm still a child. Sometimes I fade up doing things that I don't wanna do, sometimes it's hard to work like an adult but I can't help it because I'm the only grownup in my family and if I won't support my family in tough times then who will. Anyway with anxiety and overthinking, I used to cry a lot missing my mother.

我一个人和我祖母在一起呆了大概15天。
没有人打电话给我,我父亲过去每周给我打一次电话,因为他们实际上都忙于工作。
一开始很平静,但后来事情开始困扰我。每天的日子是显而易见的,因为我过去常常给瘫痪的奶奶打扫卫生,然后做一些家务,打扫、洗衣服,所有这些都让我忙个不停。但晚上是最难熬的
这一晚我想了很多很多。我还是19岁,还是个孩子,不是女人。有时候我想放弃做我不想做的事情,有时候觉得像个成年人一样工作很困难,但我无能为力,因为我是家里唯一的成年人,如果我在困难时期都不支持我的家庭,那谁会呢。不管怎样,由于焦虑和多虑,我常常哭得很想念我的母亲。

After some days, everything started haunting me like hell. Overthinking brought me into the phase where I stopped sleeping. And to sleep, I wanted a distraction, something chemical.
I started smoking ( my 2020 resolution was to quit it and also I'm not a chain smoker, I used to smoke twice a year) I smoked like 5 cigarette at one time.
I felt guilty, really guilty.
I decided to call my mother and tell her everything but I'm not that courageous.
I was feeling low, but someone noticed without even me saying him.
He said if I'm feeling alone, he can come over and sleep with me if I want, and if the darkness is haunting me or I'm feeling afraid.
I was surprised, I asked :- You live 200 KM's away and how come you come overrrre?
He replied:- wait and see the magic.
I was afraid and kind of surprised because I didn't knew what he was talking about. So I cleaned my room and waited for the night.
At 11:00 pm.
He called.
We used to face time once in a week but this time it was different. He told me to sleep while he was watching if a demon is actually coming through my bed to get me or not.
And then for the rest of the night, I slept peacefully.
It was just normal call but the little things and efforts made me bring me peace back.
We can find happiness anywhere, in little things, regular things.

几天后,一切都开始像进了地狱一样。过度思考使我进入了无法睡眠的阶段。睡觉的时候,我想分散一下注意力,一些化学物质。
我开始吸烟(我2020年的决心是戒烟,我不是一个老烟鬼,我过去一年抽两次烟),我一次抽大约5根烟。
我感到内疚,真的内疚。
我决定打电话给我母亲,告诉她一切,但我没有那么勇敢。
我当时情绪低落,但有人注意到了—甚至都不用我主动说给他听。
他说如果我感到孤独—如果黑暗困扰着我或者我感到害怕。如果我愿意,他可以过来和我一起睡觉。
我很惊讶,我问:你住在200公里外,你怎么会来这里?
他回答说:等着看魔术吧。
我很害怕,也有点惊讶,因为我不知道他在说什么。所以我打扫了我的房间,等着晚上的到来。
晚上11点,他打电话过来。
我们过去每周见一次面,但这次不同了。他告诉我睡觉的时候,他看是否有恶魔真的从我床上走过来抓我。
接下来的一个晚上,我睡得很安详。
这只是一个普通的电话,但这些小事和努力让我恢复了平静。
我们可以在任何地方找到幸福,在小事上,在日常生活中。

Eugene Jeong, studied at Red Rocks Community College
Everyone wants to be happy in life and each person does many things to become happy. Some people look for it in promotion, some try to find it by studying, some look for it in a good spouse, and some look for it in wealth. I also tried to look for happiness in those things because that’s how I was taught, and I believed the happiness really did exist in those things.
I was born in Korea. Korean society is extremely competitive, especially regarding education. I went to school in Seoul, the capital city of Korea, and something that I was always told from when I was little was that I should study hard. That I should study hard and go to a good college, and then you’ll get a good job, which will give me a lot of money, which will allow me to have a better wife and make a happy family. At that time, although I agreed with what I was told, I always had a question about it on my mind.

每个人都想快乐的生活,每个人都会做很多事情来使自己快乐。有些人在晋升中寻找幸福,有些人通过学习寻找幸福,有些人在一个好配偶身上寻找幸福,还有一些人在财富中寻找幸福。我也试着从这些事情中寻找快乐,因为这就是我被教导的方式,我相信快乐确实存在于这些事情中。
我出生在韩国。韩国社会竞争非常激烈,尤其是在教育方面。我在首尔(韩国的首都)上学,从我小的时候就一直有人告诉我应该努力学习。我应该努力学习,上一所好大学,然后找到一份好工作,这会给我很多钱,这会让我有一个更好的妻子和一个幸福的家庭。当时,虽然我同意别人告诉我的,但我心里总是有一个问题。

People walking around on the streets of Seoul did not look happy at all. They were always so busy as if being chased by something and no one had a smile on their faces. I used to be a happy boy who laughed a lot when I was younger,
but as I went into teenage and hit puberty, I started losing smile. My family, the society, and the entire country forced me to push aside every other talent that I had and to only focus on school study. I was a confused teenager. They say you have to live diligently, that you will become happy later if you study hard, but on the other hand, what’s the point of all this if I’m not happy right now? I wondered. And not everyone had the talent for studies at school. I myself wasn’t too talented either. I failed to get admitted to the college that I wanted to go two times, and I couldn’t tell anyone about it because I was so ashamed of it. My father had tried to get admitted to the top college in Korea, but he failed as well after two attempts. He never liked to talk about it, and I naturally took it as something to be deeply ashamed of and feel inferior – the fact that I wasn’t the brightest at school. And then, when I was about 20, I came across meditation. As I meditated, I was able to calmly reflect on how I’ve lived my life until now.

在首尔的街道上行走的人们看起来一点也不高兴。他们总是忙得像被什么东西追赶似的,在他们脸上看不到笑容。我曾经是一个快乐的男孩,在我年轻的时候经常笑,
但当我进入青春期时,我开始不再微笑。我的家庭、社会和整个国家迫使我抛开所有其他天赋,只专注于学校学习。我是一个困惑的青少年。他们说你必须勤奋地生活,如果你努力学习,你会变得快乐,但另一方面,如果我现在不快乐,这一切又有什么意义呢?我想知道。并不是每个人都有在学校学习的天赋。我自己也不是很有天赋。我两次都没能被我想去的大学录取,我不能告诉任何人这件事,因为我为此感到羞愧。我父亲曾试图考上韩国顶尖大学,但两次都失败了。他从来不喜欢谈论这件事,我自然会觉得这件事让我深感羞耻和自卑—因为我在学校里不是最聪明的。然后,当我大约20岁的时候,我知道了冥想。当我冥想的时候,我能够平静地反思我至今的生活。

I was constantly being compared to someone else or I was comparing myself with others. I was thrilled when I did something right, but at the same time I felt like I was always being chased by someone. And since there was so much comparing going on in my life, I started despising being compared to others from certain point. Happiness to me was something that I could only get when I achieved something. But then my achievements had to be compared with someone else’s achievement again, so that happiness didn’t last long and kept accumulating in my mind as inferiority again and again.
Naturally, my mind drifted toward negativity. That negative mind made me sick, and I was sick for 3 months in summer. Before meditation, I couldn’t figure out the reason why I was so sick. Through the meditation I reflected on my life, and then I realized that I have caused all of this misfortune for myself. And then, I started looking back on the countless minds that I’ve accumulated in life and started to discard them. The more hours and days I put into meditation, the more I started noticing changes in myself. My mind started feeling lighter, and my sick body started regaining energy. My mind was changing from being negative to being positive. And then I realized that the happiness that I’ve been after until now, the happiness that comes from achieving or obtaining something was nothing but a mere illusion, like a dream. The true happiness was inside of me all along.
If I didn’t do meditation, if I didn’t empty my mind, I would have been chasing after the illusionary happiness forever. Happiness was inside of me. When I sincerely looked back on my mind and emptied it, the true happiness that has been there all along was revealed from within my mind. It’s been 20 years since I first started doing meditation. Now I’m living my life being grateful and happy every single day.

我经常被人拿来和别人比较,或者我在拿自己和别人比较。当我做对了某件事时,我很激动,但同时我觉得自己总是被人追赶。因为在我的生活中有太多的比较,我开始鄙视从某个角度去与别人比较。对我来说,幸福是只有当我有所成就时才能得到的。但后来我的成就不得不再次与别人的成就进行比较,这样幸福就不会持续太久,并一次又一次地在我的脑海中积累自卑的情绪。
很自然地,我的思想倾向于消极。这种消极的想法让我恶心,我在夏天病了三个月。在冥想之前,我想不出我生病的原因。通过冥想,我反思了我的生活,然后我意识到这一切不幸都是我自己造成的。然后,我开始回顾生活中积累的无数想法,并开始抛弃它们。我投入冥想的时间和天数越多,我就越开始注意到自己的变化。我的头脑开始感到轻松,我生病的身体开始恢复活力。我的思想从消极变为积极。然后我意识到我一直追求的幸福,从实现目标或获得某物而来的幸福只是一种幻觉,就像一场梦。真正的幸福一直在我心中。
如果我没有冥想,如果我没有清空我的思想,我将永远追逐虚幻的幸福。可是幸福就在我心里。当我真诚地回首往事并清空它时,一直存在的真正的幸福就从我的内心透露出来了。自从我第一次开始冥想已经有20年了。现在我过着感恩和快乐的生活。

Dushka Zapata, Author of the book How to be Ferociously Happy

杜什卡·萨帕塔,《怎样才能极致快乐》一书的作者

I am sitting cross-legged on a wooden floor trying to meditate.
I am feeling pretty uncomfortable. I think I would be able to do this better if I could switch the cross of my legs.
I switch the cross of my legs.
A corner of my eye itches. I will scratch it. I will scratch it and then peace and I will be one.
I scratch it, and as I do my head itches, and my nose. I twitch around.
My brain is just as unsettled. I begin to go over all the things I need to do right after my meditation.
Come back. Come back to your breath but I can’t yes you can come back.
I want to stretch out my neck. I want to stretch out my neck and then silence will be mine

我盘腿坐在木地板上冥想。
我觉得很不舒服。我想如果我能把我的双腿交叉起来,我就能做得更好。
我把双腿交叉起来。
我的眼角发痒。我会抓挠它。我抓挠它后就平静下来。
我搔痒,我的头皮痒,鼻子痒。我浑身都痒。
我的大脑也不稳定。在冥想之后,我开始回顾我需要做的所有事情。
回来,注意力回到你的呼吸上来,但我无法做到,然后你也许可以做到。
我想伸伸脖子。我想伸下我的脖子,然后我就安静了。

This is how I learn that I have now. I need to meet it all as it is – my restlessness and itchiness and my fidgety, fidgety nature.
I need to sit in joy and pleasure and discomfort and pain and itchiness.
It will not be better later. I will never be perfectly comfortable and as such the time to be perfectly still is now.
Life is just like this. Things will be perfect just as soon as I figure out what I want. When I lose five pounds and let my hair grow long and find a boyfriend and learn to bake a perfect cake and get another job.
Life would be perfect if only I didn't feel so lost.
But the belief that happiness is somewhere else, after somewhere else, as soon as you do whatever, is a distraction - a decoy - from what you have to put in order within yourself.
Accept now. Find happiness now. It’s all we’ve got.

这就是我现在学到的东西。我需要面对现实—我的烦躁、发痒和不安、不安的天性。
我需要坐着享受快乐不适疼痛瘙痒。
以后不会更好。我永远不会感到完全舒适,因此,现在是完全安静的时候了。
生活就是这样。只要我弄清楚我想要什么,事情就会变得完美:当我减掉五磅,让我的头发变长,找到一个男朋友,学会烤一个完美的蛋糕,然后找到另一份工作。
如果我不感到如此失落,生活将是完美的。
但是,只要你做了任何事,幸福就会出现在别的地方,在别的地方之后,这种信念是一种干扰和一种诱饵——让你无法理清自己内心的事情。
现在接受,现在就找到幸福,这是我们所有的。

Bhavya Goyal, I’ve read a lot over the years.

巴维亚·戈亚尔,这些年来我读了很多书。

You can find happiness in the smallest things about life. God has given us so much to appreciate and to be grateful for.
I got a tattoo today.
The page of my journal dated 8/6/18 reads: “dear heart, I know it hurts a lot but don’t give up on your mission to be grateful to life for teaching you things that you never wished to learn. This isn’t the end ; I promise.”
Today, my journal entry lives in my skin and serves as a sweet reminder that I’m the author of my life, this is my story and it’s far from over. I’m not lost ; I’m on my way to become better. There’s power in fragility - you just have to find it.
I was the most unhappy person on June 8th, 2018 but it couldn’t stop life from teaching me lessons that a soul living in comfort would have never learned.
You will find happiness in small things. Your present condition doesn’t define your future. This is just a chapter of your book. Write your own story and never let it end. Meet every character of your story with courage and love. Some people will give you love and some will make you feel terrible but it’s the beauty of life, it goes on.
If someone didn’t tell you today, let me tell you. You’re beautiful and you deserve love. I love you stranger!
Thank you. :)

你可以从生活中最微小的事情中找到幸福。上帝给了我们很多值得欣赏和感激的东西。
我今天纹身了。
我18年8月6日的日记上写着:“亲爱的,我知道这很痛苦,但不要放弃你的使命,感谢生活教会了你从未想过要学的东西,这不是结束,我保证。”
今天,我的日记活在我的皮肤里,甜蜜地提醒我,我是我生命的作者,这就是我的故事,它还远没有结束。我没有迷路;我正在变得更好的路上。脆弱中有力量—你只需要找到它。
2018年6月8日,我是最不快乐的人,但这并不能阻止生活教会我:生活在舒适中的灵魂永远无法学到的东西。
你会在小事中找到幸福。你现在的状况并不能决定你的未来。这只是你书中的一章。写你自己的故事,永远不要让它结束。用勇气和爱去面对你故事中的每一个角色。有些人会给你爱,有些人会让你感觉糟糕,但这是生活的美丽,它继续着。
如果今天没有人告诉你,让我告诉你。你很漂亮,值得爱。我爱你,陌生人!
谢谢。

Feeling happy in my tiny room
My room is tiny. Before going to bed, I sit by myself in my tiny room and make time to do some meditation and prayer. Since it’s difficult to meet with people due to COVID, it seems that I’m spending more time meditating by myself.
Korea has always put a lot of emphasis on do something good without others knowing about it. It shows that they put more emphasis on the mind which is the driving force of the action, rather than what appears on the outside. Another way to put it would be that behind every action, there is the mind which caused one to act that way. I think that’s why it’s said that mind is what makes everything exist and that mind is everything. Therefore, the most important thing would be what kind of minds we have as we live our daily lives.
What minds do we live with when no one’s watching us? When no one’s watching us, we just do things however we like. Most of the people living in this modern society seek pleasure and happiness from the outside since they do not have the true happiness within themselves. They have to meet with people, watch TV, go online, etc. It’s only when they are doing something that stimulates their senses that they feel some joy, and even alive.
So, people constantly have to watch something, eat something, meet with someone, try some clothes on, etc – they are constantly seeking something from this outside. Unable to escape from the illusionary world of sensory stimulation, people are enslaved to it, unable to find their true self. Since our minds are tied to our desires and are not able to find our true mind, we are not able to live a true life – instead, we are dreaming false dreams, doing false deeds, wasting life.

在我的小房间里感到快乐。
我的房间很小。睡觉前,我独自坐在我的小房间里,抽出时间做一些冥想和祈祷。由于新冠肺炎,很难与人见面,所以我似乎花了更多的时间独自冥想。
韩国一直非常重视在别人不知道的情况下做一些好事。这表明,他们更强调作为行动驱动力的思想,而不是外在的东西。另一种说法是,在每一个行动的背后,都有一个导致人们以这种方式行动的头脑。我想这就是为什么有人说思想是一切存在的原因,思想就是一切。因此,最重要的是我们在日常生活中拥有什么样的头脑。
当没有人看着我们的时候,我们有什么想法?当没有人看着我们时,我们只是做我们喜欢做的事情。生活在这个现代社会中的大多数人都从外部寻求快乐和幸福,因为他们内心没有真正的幸福。他们必须与人会面,看电视,上网等等。只有当他们做一些刺激他们感官的事情时,他们才会感到一些快乐,甚至是感觉活着。
所以,人们总是要看一些东西,吃一些东西,会见一些人,试一些衣服,等等,他们总是从外面寻找一些东西。人们无法摆脱感官刺激的虚幻世界,被它奴役,无法找到自己的真实自我。因为我们的思想与我们的欲望联系在一起,无法找到我们真正的思想,我们无法过真实的生活,相反,我们在做虚假的梦,做虚假的事,浪费生命。

The true mind, and the land of Truth is all within you. Mind is the essence, and the reality before our eyes are just hallucinations, a reflection of our minds. So, the key thing in living a great life is how to control and manage our own minds.
Then, how can the people of modern society who are living in the illusionary world of their five senses find their true self? The answer is to do meditation to reflect on oneself. These days, because of COVID, many places are offering guided meditation online.
I am so happy even in my tiny room, because I have cleansed my mind and found Truth. I am so happy that Truth is within me. I’m always happy. This happiness and joy do not change. The pleasure that I felt through my five sense before knowing Truth was so temporary and impulsive, relying on my sense only. In the end, it only fatigued me. But my life after knowing Truth is nothing but filled with happiness and joy.
There is no one who love me. Only Truth loves me truly, so I must rely on Truth and love Truth only. But then, if I truly love Truth, I can love everyone – because Truth is everything. It’s such a simple Truth, but one can only come to realize it when his mind reaches that state. I wish people would do meditation and feel happy even within their tiny rooms, instead of feeling frustrated in this era of COVID.
When you find your true nature, your mind can always be filled with love and gratitude, and you can live a righteous, sacred life. You live your life according to that mind – so if your mind is true, you can live a true life. There is the will of the world, will of Truth in everything in this world. Now is the era when everyone should reflect on their minds, discard their false mind, find the true mind, and achieve human completion. I wish everyone will cleanse their minds, be enlightened to the principles of the world, and live with freedom and happiness.
Take good care of your mind, and always be happy.

真正的心灵和真理之地都在你的内心。思想是本质,我们眼前的现实只是幻觉,是我们思想的反映。因此,过上美好生活的关键是如何控制和管理我们自己的思想。
那么,生活在五官幻觉世界中的现代社会的人们如何才能找到真正的自我呢?答案是冥想来反省自己。这些天,由于新冠病毒,许多地方都提供在线指导冥想。
即使在我的小房间里,我也很开心,因为我净化了我的思想,发现了真相。我很高兴真理就在我心里。我总是很快乐。这种幸福和快乐不会改变。在知道真相之前,我通过五种感官感受到的快乐是如此短暂和冲动,仅仅依靠我的感官。最后,这只会让我感到疲劳。但我知道真相后的生活却充满了幸福和快乐。
没有人爱我。只有真理真正爱我,所以我必须依靠真理,只爱真理。但是,如果我真的爱真理,我可以爱每一个人,因为真理就是一切。这是一个如此简单的事实,但只有当一个人的思想达到这种状态时,他才能意识到这一点。我希望人们能够冥想,即使在狭小的房间里也能感到快乐,而不是在这个新冠时代感到沮丧。
当你发现自己的真实本性时,你的内心总是充满了爱和感激,你可以过一种正直、神圣的生活。你按照你的想法生活,所以如果你的想法是真实的,你就可以过真实的生活。世上万物都有世界的意志,真理的意志。现在是每个人都应该反省自己思想的时代,抛弃虚假思想,找到真正的思想,实现人类的圆满。我希望每个人都能净化自己的心灵,悟出世间的道理,自由快乐地生活。
好好照顾你的心灵,永远快乐。

Anubhav Jain, Written 3 books on Life, living and motivation.

Anubhav Jain写了3本关于生活、活着和动机的书。

The world is full of miseries, each one of us is disturbed, happiness is nowhere.
What is nowhere?
Let's explore where exactly is happiness?
It's pouring down in the form of drops from the dark sky.
It's present in the first ray of sun everyday.
It's present in the food you eat after being hungry for hours.
It's in a jug of water on a hot summers day.
It's in the breath of your lover.
It's in a cup of hot tea/coffee when you are stressed, tired or stuck.
It's in the lap of your mother.
It’s in long chats with friends, family and neighbours.
It's in quilt on a cold winter's night.
It's in the toilet where you relieve one of the biggest pressures on your body. (Not a joke)
It's in every breath you take and fulfill the craving of your lungs.
It's in having a disease free healthy body.

这个世界充满了苦难,我们每个人都感到不安,但幸福无处不在。
什么是无处?
让我们来探索幸福到底在哪里?
它以水滴的形式从黑暗的天空中倾泻而下。
它每天都出现在第一缕阳光中。
它存在于你饿了几个小时后吃的食物中。
在炎热的夏天,它在一壶水中。
它在你爱人的呼吸中。
当你感到压力、疲惫或困顿时,就在一杯热茶/咖啡中。
它在你妈妈的膝上。
它与朋友、家人和邻居长时间聊天中。
它在寒冷的冬夜被子里。
在厕所里,你可以减轻身体上最大的压力。(不是开玩笑)
它在你的每一次呼吸中,满足你肺部的渴望。
在拥有一个没有疾病的健康身体里。

It's in the eyes of your children in the form of respect for you.
It's in the feeling of being needed.
It's in your bold decisions.
It's in waking up every morning and finding out you haven't lost anything from yesterday.
It's in staring at little puppies playing on roadside, unaffected by this world.
It's in the good old memories of everything and everyone you lost in the journey of life.
It's in waking up early in morning on a holiday with nothing compulsary to do.
It's in the pleasant breeze of summer nights.
It's in the feeling of surviving the toughest days of your life.
It's hidden in almost every basic thing we see, feel, touch, do and consume everyday.
But we fail to notice it until we are deprived of these basic looking essential things.
Learn to observe, realise and smile at countless beautiful moments everyday.
Realising that life is good will help in sending some crucial signals from your heart to your mind to activate the closed shutters of happiness.
Moral of the answer-
Happiness is everywhere until you become a critic of your own life!
Happiness is not a trophie, it is just a realisation!
You can't find happiness, you just need to bring it out!

幸福在你孩子的眼里,这是对你的尊重。
幸福是一种被需要的感觉。
幸福取决于你的大胆决定。
就是每天早上醒来,发现自己没有失去昨天的任何东西。
这是在看路边玩耍的小狗,不受这个世界的影响。
它存在于你在人生旅途中失去的一切和每一个人的美好回忆中。
这是在度假时一早醒来,无事可做。
这是在夏夜宜人的微风中。
这是在你生命中最艰难的日子里生存下来的感觉。
它几乎隐藏在我们每天看到、感觉、触摸、做和消费的每一件基本事物中。
但是,直到我们被剥夺了这些基本的、看起来很重要的东西,我们才注意到它。
每天都要学会观察、认识和微笑面对无数美好的时刻。
意识到生活是美好的将有助于从你的内心向你的头脑发送一些重要的信号,从而打开幸福的百叶窗。
答案的寓意:
幸福无处不在,直到你成为自己生活的批评家!
幸福不是奖杯,它只是一种“实现”!
你找不到幸福,你只需要把它带出来!
