Amy人生觀:正向思考與保持學習心態,活到老學到老!
我一直相信正向思考的力量。人生不可能事事如意,但只要保持學習的心,許多困難與挫折都能轉化為成長的契機。我常提醒自己:活到老,學到老,不只是學習知識技能,更是學習如何理解自己與他人,學習如何面對人生的不同階段。
與朋友的對話:低潮與幸福的迷思
前陣子,一位好友告訴我她懷疑自己有憂鬱傾向。她說自己常常覺得人生沒什麼意義,也不知道如何感到快樂。我們聊了好久,我試圖安慰她、理解她,但說實話,我也不確定自己的話是否真的對她有幫助。那幾天我自己也開始思考:快樂到底是從哪裡來的?
靈光一現:David Steindl-Rast 的智慧分享
就在那時,我看到一段TED演講,講者是修士 David Steindl-Rast。他說了一句話深深打動我:
「不是快樂讓我們感恩,而是感恩讓我們快樂。」
多麼顛覆的觀念!我們常以為要先獲得幸福的條件,才有辦法感謝生活;但他提醒我們,真正快樂的人,往往是懂得感恩的人。即使面對不幸,他們依然可以散發出快樂的光芒。
學會「停、看、走」:珍惜每一個當下
David 在演講中提到一個實用的方法:「Stop. Look. Go.」
-
停下來(Stop):不要一直匆忙地過生活。先慢下來,才有空間看見。
-
看清楚(Look):打開感官,打開心,去感受生命中那些微小卻珍貴的事物。陽光、空氣、家人的笑容,甚至是一杯溫熱的咖啡。
-
行動(Go):當你看見了機會與美好,就可以出發,去分享、去幫助、去創造更多的幸福。
生活中大多數的「禮物」,其實不是實體的物品,而是「機會」。我們感謝的,不是那件事本身,而是我們擁有「參與其中」的可能性。
結語:把感恩當成一種生活方式
對我來說,「感恩」不是只在感恩節才做的事,也不只是每天寫三件感恩小事的習慣,而是把這樣的態度活在每一刻。當我覺得自己不夠快樂時,我會提醒自己:是不是忘記了停下來?是不是忽略了我已經擁有的美好?
也許幸福不是未來才會來到的終點,而是現在這一刻,只要你願意感恩,就能觸碰到的一種狀態。
所以,想快樂?感謝吧!這句話,我由衷相信,也希望你能一起感受它的力量。

TED中英字幕: 想快樂?感謝吧!(David Steindl-Rast)
and that is that all of us want to be happy.
We all know quite a number of people who have everything that it would take to be happy,
and they are not happy.
Because they want something else or they want more of the same.
And we all know people who have lots of misfortune, misfortune that we ourselves would not want to have and they are deeply happy.
They radiate happiness. You are surprised. (散發/閃耀)
Why? Because they are grateful.
So it is not happiness that make us grateful!
It's gratefulness that makes us happy.
We can be people who live gratefully.
Grateful living,that is the thing.
You are really grateful for is the opportunity, not the thing that is given to you,because if that thing were somewhere else and you didn't have the opportunity to enjoy it, to do something with it, you wouldn't be grateful for it.
You find that most of the time, what is given to us, is opportunity to enjoy, and we only miss it because we are rushing through life and we are not stopping to see the opportunity.
The way is "Stop.Look.Go"
When you stop, then the next thing is to look. You look. You open your eyes. You open your ears. You open your nose. You open all your senses for this wonderful richness that is given to us.
There is no end to it, and that is what life is all about, to enjoy, to enjoy what is given to us,
And then we can also open our hearts, our hearts for the opportunities, for the opportunities also to help others, to make others happy, because nothing makes us more happy than when all of us are happy.
