THE TRUTH ABOUT HAPPINESS
I was on a road trip to the forest with my friend Becky, when she told me something she’d recently learned.
“We often think that we’re happy when we relax, like watching a favorite TV show, for example,” Becky said, her hands steady on the steering wheels, eyes fixed on the road ahead.
“But research shows that we’re most happy when we’re working on something meaningful to us, when we’re in flow.”
I think that’s why so many of us are feeling unhappy. Despite our nice apartment and our good salary, we feel “something is missing.”
Barbara Sher, the most candid self-help author I know, advised:
“Don’t fool yourself by making lists in your head of all the great things in your life. Happy people don’t have to make lists.”
I remember laughing out loud when I read this.
This advice is controversial. Every guru is telling us to practice gratitude. “Make a list of 10 things you’re grateful for every day!”
While I believe there is a virtue in this practice, I also see the truth in Barbara Sher’s advice.
The discontent you feel is valid. You’re not being difficult, spoiled, or ungrateful. This pain is your soul calling you to where you were born for.
My coach Bev Barnes, founder of the Soul’s Calling Academy, calls this Divine Discontent.
Don’t let gratitude practice, or any other spiritual practice, to numb this pain, to muffle this call.
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞.
Be honest with yourself and admit what isn’t working.
So stop running away. Feel the angst, the emptiness, the frustration.
Then ask your heart:
“What is the one tiny thing I can do to start finding the work I belong?”
And listen when it whispers the answer.

Yesterday evening went for an hour run around Stuttgart.
Ran on a combination of stairs + road + trail + track with the Salomon Sense Ride 4 that I received it from @salomonmy
Thank you for a great shoe that I used it to walk around the city. Love the comfortable of it when putting it on and walk for long hour sightseeing in the city.
I had checked in a 30k steps in Frankfurt on Monday, an almost 40k steps in Stuttgart yesterday.
Will be leaving Stuttgart and visiting today!

爺爺家家一部分來自西班牙南部,兩年前我們決定要去西班牙南部展開一趟公路旅行幾個星期。因為疫情的影響,都無法見到他們,就這樣兩年過去了, 超過90的他們身體開始感到越來越累...
上個月回去給他們驚喜,讓我們留下四天難忘的回憶。
因為家裡遭竊所以行程無法繼續,我們不得不縮短我們的行程,快速趕回家裡處理。
奶奶患有老年癡呆症,她經常忘記我們白天做了什麼事。就因為這樣讓我們更珍惜跟她所剩的相處時間,認真享受當下。不管是一個微笑,擁抱,一首歌,一個旅行目的地...我沒有讓相機離開我,所以我可以捕捉每一個寶貴的時刻跟回憶,我們都知道它們是多麼的珍貴。
時間每天在流逝。每次離開他們心裡沉重的大石頭都會提醒我這個殘酷的現實。我祈禱讓我有多一點的時間可以跟他們一起創造更多類似的回憶。
看著他們一起,像兩個孩子一樣,唱著歌,逗著對方開心,關心著對方,彼此相愛,把每天當最後一天精采認真的活著,謝謝他們給我們上了這人生美麗的一課。❤️

Two years ago my grandpa and I decided we should do a road trip for few weeks to south of Spain where a part of his family is from. Then Covid arrived, two years passed without seeing them and both 90 they started to feel more and more tired...
After surprising them last month, we took the road for four unforgettable days.
We couldn't go as far as we wanted and we had to shorten our trip as their house got burgled.
My grandma has Alzheimer and she often forget what we did during the day. It pushes you even more to focus and truly enjoy the present moment.
A smile, a hug, a song, a destination... my camera didn't leave me so I could capture every precious moment. And we all knew how precious they were.
Time is running. Every time I leave their house a lump in my stomach always remind me about this reality. I pray to live more similar moments with them in the near futur.
It was a life lesson to watch them together, like two kids again, singing songs, teasing, caring, loving each other like there is no tomorrow ❤️

#跑山獸 #阿里山 #神阿古道
Mid altitude mountains in Taiwan are very hard, but also very magic.
After resctriction in Taiwan I plan this trip to Alisha 阿里山 from Xinii 信義.
Shen A Ancient Trail 神阿古道 was recently maintained and it is awesome and direct connection to Alishan.
I plan 40km loop over wild ridge to 松山 Song Shan (over 望美山, 望高瞭望台, 瓊山) and reach Alishan railway in 石猴分道 Shihou railway station (from there can descent to 水漾森林 Shuiyang forest).
Ascent to 松山 Song Shan was 15km with 2000m climb on not easy terrain. I miss turn to ridge and continued on old forest road around 1700m (follow marking and gps carefully).
On old railway I pass several bridges and dark tunnels and walk over 眠月 Mianyue Stone Monkey and 塔山 Ta Shan station where is 500m longest tunnel which has collapse in the middle, it is very dark. I reach Alishan 阿里山 (十字分道 Shizifendao Station).
From there is not far for upper entry to 神阿古道 Shen A Ancient Trail which was maintained in Spring 2021. It is very steep with climb or descent of 1300m on 6km, down to 神木村 Shenmu village.

road running 在 Chris Lewis Youtube 的精選貼文
?? Where do I even begin. Well, this video is kinda cringe... I hated editing it and I almost didn't even wanna post it. But hey, I made it, so might as well.
It all started a few days ago when I went out to take pictures. I love photography and take the occasional good photo. Towards the end of my day taking photos, I came across a motorbike repair shop in front of a busy road with a crosswalk. While waiting to take a picture of someone crossing the road in order to depict how busy Vietnamese streets are, I caught a shot of a man from the bike repair shop running across the road. I'm not sure if he saw me and thought it would be funny to run across, or if he just was running to do some work (probably the latter), but he booked it, and I got some funny pictures.
Well, one thing led to another and I thought it would be funny to give him the picture as a gift... little did I know... haha, watch it to see how cringe it is.
With that said, I'm glad I did it, and it was an interesting experience. Overall awkward, but a good experience. Enjoy.
