From the author: Author: master of short-term strategic therapy Oleg Vladimirovich Surkov Develop the ability to accept what cannot be changed, find the courage to change what is possible, and gain wisdom to distinguish one from the other. “Prayer for Serenity” Happiness! This word is so joyful, sparkling, and warm as the sun. Each of us strives to be happy! We spend our whole lives chasing a dose of our happiness. And when we manage to get this dose, we try in every possible way to maintain this state of happiness. When we lose it, we get upset and set off on a new quest to find our happiness. If we don’t find it, then we go to the bookstore and buy books that promise to reveal to us the recipe for happiness and make us happy. The more advanced ones go to trainings for happiness, where they also promise to make us happy. We strive to find a universal method, the secret of happiness! We are constantly looking for our happiness, but it keeps eluding us and eluding us. Sometimes it seems that this is your HAPPINESS, just extend your hand. And when you reach out your hand and again his happiness is gone! Again it slipped away somewhere. Without achieving happiness, we experience suffering. People not only seek happiness, but also try to keep it. Controlling happiness is impossible. From control, happiness slips away from us like water between our fingers. So what is happiness? And does it exist at all? How to find it? How to keep it? Someone might say that happiness is a special feeling that cannot be expressed in words. In this case, the happiest people are those addicted to drugs. Experiencing a special feeling is an important goal for them. It is the constant pursuit of happiness that makes us unhappy and brings us suffering. How to make your life interesting, fulfilling and rich? The basis of happiness is to accept the world as it is. Do not remake it and do not fight with it. Happiness lies in the present moment, it does not exist either in the past or in the future. It exists only here and now. How can one interpret the word “happiness”? Two options seem interesting. The first option considers happiness as a feeling that gives us joy and pleasure. Thus, happiness is just a feeling, and they are short-lived and impermanent. Happiness quickly passes and we begin to hunt for it again. The second alternative approach considers happiness as the realization of our life values ​​and meanings. In this case, life becomes full of important events that lead us to the realization of life principles and this is no longer a fleeting feeling. And against the backdrop of realizing our life values, we are ready to endure even pain and suffering when we understand why they are for us.
