How can I accept a different life than I thought it would be?

The second one is infertile and already elderly.

What I had in mind 5 years ago was a future where I had 2 children about 3 years apart, bought a house near a familiar train station where I lived for close to 10 years, and somehow have enough money to not bother my children in the future.

How far has it come in 5 years.
Everything I wanted from the time I moved didn't come true at all.
It wasn't supposed to be like this
It wasn't supposed to be this kind of future

How should I accept my current self and environment when I am now different from who I had imagined?
I wish I could cherish what I have now and what I've been given, but my mind is full of things I don't have.

Life like an unmodified model house is a dull life

My name is Kameyama Junshi.

The world doesn't revolve around me. Well, when it comes to whether it's moving around someone else, that's not the case. But the world is moving. Why is that? The answer is because the world is governed by the law of luck. The world is moving amidst various causes and circumstances, and sometimes beyond one's own will. The world doesn't revolve around anything. If you think of it as moving around something, then confusion arises from there. So, even if life doesn't work the way you want it to, that's natural. Life is something we build up while constantly making corrections. Life like a model house without modifications is a dull life. There are sweet times in life, sour times, salty times, and sometimes painful and bitter times.

It seems that children are still young, but children don't grow up the way they want them to. But that is parenting. If you don't raise children just because you don't grow up the way you want, it's abandoning childcare, and if you force yourself to raise them the way you want, this sometimes leads to abuse.

Lastly, please take good care of the life you are living right now.

These are my answers.

Life doesn't turn out the way you want it to.

Nice to meet you. I'll write about what I felt a little bit.

Before I became a monk, I did a bit of training as a money expert financial planner, but...

It's natural for life not to turn out the way you want it to. If you can't have children. If it's done. Every time there is a change, you should think about your life plan and prepare it. If you have decades until old age, you can prepare enough. There are many ways to live a happy life in Japan.

The forms of happiness in life are endless. There is no life where everything goes the way you want it to. Everything is impermanent. Everything is changing.

Every time the map of your life changes, how about thinking about how to make yourself and everyone around you happy, and walk through your future life while rewriting the map of your life?

That's probably the situation right now.

Good evening. Thank you very much for replying to my answer the other day.
You both gave a polite answer, didn't you? “And I want more.”
Exactly what you say, “the inside of your head is full of things you don't have,” it's a state of desire.
So, first of all, please be aware that “I'm in a state where I don't want it.”
Also, why don't you reread the two answers a few times?
In the age of e-mails, everyone seems to be disposable, whether it's a song, a poem, or a “good story.” It's an age where it's likely that when you return a comment and turn off your smartphone, you forget the words you've already received.
So, why don't you try tasting the words from the two of them first and then put up with asking the next question for a while? (This is just a recommendation. (It's up to you whether to hire them or not)

(postscript)
Please don't worry. I'm not offended. I told you the words that came to mind. They don't answer when I'm feeling bad. It's fine.

It's the way I thought it was, isn't it

That's why I want to be even better than the current situation.

Isn't the “reality that makes you want to be even better,” which is exactly true?

If you are satisfied with your current situation and feel happy, you will probably be in a happy situation.

This doesn't create an ideal image of being happy

Is there a form of happiness in the first place? Is it happiness to satisfy each person's desires and desires? In fact, I think it's important to accept reality as it is and be able to live with peace of mind.
By adding values such as right and wrong, right and wrong, profit and loss, etc., suffering will increase.
If you can honestly accept the facts of your life as they are without rejecting them, you will be saved.
Originally, ideals were nothing more than delusions thought up in one's head. Rather than that, let's live in a reality where there are no problems. It's important to live without creating problems.
