With love in the heart, the world becomes vast.

I really like a quote: "Don't let the pursuit of life's ideals and grand goals hinder you from discovering the subtle beauty in your current life. True living is not about chasing goals, but about living fully in each present moment."

Once upon a time, we chased lofty aspirations without noticing the sparkling beauty in the mundane moments of our lives.

Have a calm heart

The happiest state of life is to possess a tranquil heart.

Happiness is repairing fences and planting chrysanthemums in the yard during leisure time, and planting mulberry trees and picking tea in the fields during busy seasons.

Walking in the sunshine every day, feeling the simple joy of life, chatting under the blossoming trees, and sharing tea and laughter with family.

To feel the beauty of everything before you with your heart, you will unexpectedly encounter your true self, and happiness will meet you unexpectedly.

Manage your desires

Desire is a double-edged sword.

A person with a stable mind is not devoid of desires, but rather, they are capable of managing their desires reasonably, becoming the helmsman of happiness.

There are many beautiful things in the world that are desirable and captivating, each person longs to possess them. However, if one becomes too preoccupied with immediate gains and losses, not only will they lose their current happiness, but they will also fall into a state of anxiety and unease. Understanding the importance of cherishing the present and enjoying the gentle breeze and bright moon can lead to finding true happiness that belongs to oneself.

Seize every small beauty

Happiness does not necessarily mean reaching the pinnacle of life immediately; rather, it is about treating work as a hobby and living life like a poem.

Invisible to the eye, you can bring your abilities to their fullest potential.

Every day, quietly reading a book or silently writing a few words, even if it's just quietly conversing with oneself, is a form of happiness.

Grasping every small beauty is a capacity for happiness. To feel the sunlight and rain, to be grateful for parents and friends, to give back to society and support, with love in the heart, the world becomes vast.
