曾經是個極度容易被嫉妒、羨慕情緒吞噬的人,但二十九歲過後這種情緒開始淡化,到現在幾乎消退也極少被誘發了。
為什麼?
因為意識到自己和所欽羨之人本質上的差異。
認知從「你只是因為在那樣的條件下所以能擁有那些」,轉變為「因為你擁有那樣的特質,所以不管在什麼條件下,相信你都能發揮得很好」。
我是真心相信的。
對於自己的認識和遇見更多的人,讓我自然而然產生這樣的思維轉換。
一換了思考模式,每當聽聞高成就的人事物,心中浮現的想法是「你好棒」,但與我無干涉。
不是冷漠,而是淡然。
外顯的行為看來毫無改變,但內心已經不起波瀾,平靜的感覺,真好。
I used to be someone who was easily consumed by jealousy and envy. But after I turned twenty-nine, those feelings gradually began to fade. Now, they’ve almost completely disappeared, and it’s rare for anything to bring them back.
Why?
Because I came to recognize the fundamental differences between myself and the people I admire and envy.
My perspective shifted from “You only have what you have because you were given those circumstances” to “You have those qualities within you, and I believe you would thrive no matter what circumstances you found yourself in.”
And I genuinely believe that.
Getting to know myself better and meeting more people naturally led me to this change in perspective.
Once my mindset shifted, whenever I heard about someone else’s remarkable achievements, my first thought became, “You’re amazing.” But I no longer felt that their success had anything to do with me.
It’s not indifference. It’s a sense of quiet acceptance.
On the outside, nothing about my behavior seems to have changed. But inside, those things no longer stir up any emotions.
There’s a sense of calm within me now.
And it feels wonderful.
