FOUR THINGS WE SHOULD NOT WASTE OUR LIVES ON

【四件事情绝对不能浪费自己的生命】

我们人活在这个世界上，最不能浪费生命当中四件事情：我们人知道不浪费生命，有四件事情绝对不能浪费自己的生命。

第一，我们担忧。我们人的担忧是最浪费生命的，庸人自扰，因为担忧就是为难自己，自己解决不了的问题还要去忧心重重，每一天神经紧绷，身心疲惫，最后会生病的。

第二，不要浪费时间在抱怨上面。要记住，没有一点用的抱怨会让你远离快乐，因为抱怨没有一点用，解除不了任何人生的困境。

第三，不要花时间在埋怨上，遇到事情，先责怪别人，然后自己再痛苦，不顺心，埋怨条件，这是一种消极被动的人生态度，在佛法界讲，被称为负能量，并缺乏自信和担当的心理。

第四，不要去与人比较，因为与人比较是最浪费时间的，比较会让你自己越比越不快乐，自己的幸福与快乐是自己的感受，并不是通过和别人比较而得来的。

FOUR THINGS WE SHOULD NOT WASTE OUR LIVES ON

We know that we should not waste our lives away and here are 4 things in particular that we should not waste our lives on:

Number 1: Our worries. Worries are an ultimate waste of our lives. It is all much ado about nothing. To worry is to make things harder than they need to be. Why get over-anxious for problems that we are unable to resolve, get uptight every day and wear ourselves out both physically and mentally? Resultantly, you will definitely fall ill.

Number 2 : Do not waste time on complaining. Please remember, all unnecessary complaints will only keep you away from happiness. Complaints are downright useless, as it is unable to help you out of any life's predicament.

Number 3: Do not waste time on blaming others. To blame others as soon as something happened, to suffer and feeling unhappy thereafter, to blame the circumstances when things are not to our liking – these are negative and passive attitudes in life. From the perspective of Dharma, these are known as negative energies; and a mentality lacking in self-confidence and ability to undertake responsibilities.

Number 4: Do not compare with others, as it is an utter waste of time. The more you compare, the more unhappy you will be. Being joyful and happy are personal feelings. They are not derived from our comparison with others.
