“Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like
& celebrating it for everything that it is!”
We are living in a materialistic world where we feel having the wealth, career, nice property, all luxurious items will make us feel good and happy. People are not happy when they don’t have these things in life. But those who have are also not happy! Why so? What are the reasons? We tried finding out some core reasons why people are not happy.
Relying on someone else
Happiness is within us. We cannot blame others for us not being happy. If a person walks out of your life, your life becomes gloomy and nothing seems to be interesting to you. Till the time that person was there in your life, you were happy, now you aren’t which means your happiness is derived by another person and not by you or its not within you.
Comparison
Women often compare themselves with other women. “My friend owns a bag from Michael Kors and I have a bag from Baggit.” “I have got a Hero Passion and my friend has a Bullet or a Kawasaki Ninja” Do you find yourself in this situation? If so then you won’t ever be happy. Comparisons make you inferior and depressed.
No Gratitude
We fail to thank for what we have and keep cribbing on what we don’t have. We focus on what is missing in our lives than what we actually have to cherish. Anything in physical form is short-lived. Today if you have Michael Kors, you may wish for Chanel tomorrow, so our wishes are endless. We do not mean to say you should not aim high to achieve whatever you want in life, but first, one should thank for whatever he/she has in life and secondly work on to achieve what is missing.
Being in the comfort zone
“A comfort zone is a really beautiful place, but nothing grows there. When growth is missing people are unhappy. Just to be on the safer side you may work in a government job, but are you really happy? Is that your dream?
Unhealthy Lifestyle
The sedentary lifestyle has made us so lethargic that we eat all unhealthy stuff, do not exercise and depend on people and machines for our work. When we keep our body busy by working out, doing the daily chores, eating healthy, endorphins are released in the brain which is really important to be happy.
Dwell in past or future
We tend to go to the past or in the future. We forget to live in the present. The bad past and unknown future plague us so much so that we forget we are living today. Make a conscious effort to make the best in your present on all fronts as the past cannot be erased and the future cannot be seen beforehand.
Very little is needed to make a Happy Life;
it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
