Original Text
Happiness Shouldn't Be Conditional.
You're now working toward your goals, which is awesome, but there's a common trap: putting conditions on your happiness. "I'll be happy when I get that job." "I'll be happy when I ace that test." "I'll be happy when I find true love." As important as goals are, happiness isn't waiting at the end of some distant goal. It's right here, in this moment. It's in the smell of your morning coffee, the laughter shared with a friend, and the friendly smile of a neighbor. When you base your joy on the "whens" and the "ifs," you miss out on the simple pleasures sitting right under your nose. So, why wait for a particular moment to feel happy? Invite joy into the ordinary, the everyday. After all, happiness is not a destination, but a way of traveling on the way to your destination.
Translation
快乐不该带有条件
你现在正朝著你的目标努力,这很棒,但有一个常见的陷阱:把你的快 乐带上了条件。像是「我得到那份工作才会高兴」「我考试考很好才会 开心」「我找到真爱才会快乐」。侭管目标很重要,但快乐并不是在远 方目标的终点站等著你。它就在这里,此时此刻。在你早晨的咖啡香 里,在和朋友分享的笑声中,或是邻居的友善微笑。当你把快乐建立在 「何时」和「如果」之上时,就会错过眼前这些简单的快乐。所以,为 什么要等到某个特定的时刻才能感到快乐呢?让快乐融入日常,融入每 一天。毕竟快乐不是目的地,而是往目的地的一种通行方式。
