The outlook on life gradually shifts from focusing on what we should have to realizing what we do have. This realization often leads to the thought, "Actually, there’s something missing."

Don’t forget, the reason why regretful things hold beauty is that they exist as fiction—an imagination of what could have been but didn’t happen. Even if you had the chance to start over or the wisdom to choose differently, no one can guarantee things would turn out better. In fact, they might even get worse.

People tend to idealize inexperienced scenarios, often ignoring whether they can bear the costs associated with them. True happiness is not only achieved through constant pursuit but also through cherishing what you already have.

No matter how you’re living right now—whether or not you like your current life—believe that things will always develop in a better direction. The imperfections of life are, in fact, what makes it most beautiful.

You are not happy because your life has improved; instead, your life improves because you are happy. It’s not the disappearance of bad things that brings good things; rather, by paying attention to the good around you, the bad things slowly fade away.

Whether you are happy, fortunate, or living a good life doesn’t solely depend on what you find, but also on the order in which you approach things. Different orders and answers lead to different outcomes in life.

Life won’t always be smooth every day. Learn to let nature take its course. Approach the small things in life with a calm mindset and organize every corner of your heart with your best self.
