由心而发的幸福才是真正的幸福

we always seem to want those things we don't have. moreover, we are often convinced that if we had those things we want so badly, we would finally be happy.
我们经常会去渴望一些我们并不真正需要的东西。此外，我们经常会让自己相信，如果我们拥有了这些我们梦寐以求的东西，我们就可以终于快乐起来。
the truth is that happiness is an attitude. it's not something created by outside circumstances, but instead is completely within your control.
实际上，幸福是一种态度，它并不是由外界环境所产生，而是你的内心。
nothing will give you a deep sense of satisfaction and happiness, unless you cultivate happiness consciously. below are some simple yet specific steps you can take to cultivate happiness.
没有任何事物会给你带来深层次的满足和快乐，除非你有意识地去滋养幸福。以下是一些简单而具体的方法，你可以试试去滋养你的幸福。

be grateful
create a sense of gratitude for what you have, for what is working, for what is wonderful and sweet in your life. a morning or evening gratitude list, written each day, can do wonders for helping you feel grateful.
学会感恩
培养一颗感恩的心，感恩于你所拥有的，生活中平凡的，美妙的及甜蜜的点点滴滴。每天早上或晚上列一份感恩单会帮助你学会去感激。
take care of yourself
identify the small things in life that make you feel good, and do one daily. a short walk, a few minutes of writing in your journal, a short meditation, watching the sunset…whatever, will improve your outlook on life.
照顾好自己
发现生活中能让你感觉美好的一些小事，并每天去做一件这样的小事。一小段林间散步，写几分种日记，一小段沉思，看看日落……或者其它，都会增强你对美好生活的信心

read inspirational material
it helps to be reminded of positive thoughts and positive attitudes. get a small book of positive, inspirational thoughts and keep it by your desk. read one or two thoughts each day.
朗读激励志文
朗读激励志文会帮助你建立积极的思想和人生观。桌上摆放着一本激励志文小册子，每天都去朗读一两段。
is the glass half empty or full? life works better when the glass is half full regardless of your life status.
你的杯子有一半是空的呢，还是满的？不管你的生活状况如何，生活可以更美好，即使你的杯子只装满了一半。
no matter how many wonderful things you do to create a positive, happy, satisfied life, you could still end up unhappy.
ultimately, happiness, gratitude, a feeling of satisfaction is a choice. so, from now on, choose to be happy!
无论你做了多少很棒的事来创建积极的、快乐的、满意的生活，最终你仍然会觉得不快乐。幸福、感恩、满足感只是一种选择。所以从现在开始，请选择快乐吧！
