There are two attitudes to take in life. One type of person takes care to think about the meaning of their existence, they set goals for themselves that, being reached, can make them satisfied with life. The other type of person can't see much sense in life struggles and the only goal they can set for themselves is to survive each day which makes their lives a long chain of troubles and fateful events, for everything in it is determined by luck alone.
Learn from what you are going through
It is natural that we have to struggle in life; whenever something
bad happens, keep in mind that your task is to solve the problems and keep
hoping for the better. Everything happens to us for a reason. Instead of thinking how good or bad some event is, we
must try to learn from it what we can. Those events are lessons and they keep
repeating themselves until we learn them. Of
course, they are not easy to learn, because in life no professor can tell you
how to solve a problem. People like giving advice but there is no teacher who
can tell you what to do for getting the best result, which of course does not
mean that there is no teacher in your life at all. Everyone who comes into your
life teaches something to you or learns something from you...
Complete the tasks life gives you
Don't think your life is full of troubles and
problems. Those are not troubles but tasks waiting to be
completed. If you complete those tasks with all your might using the abilities
and talents you have, you grow. That's how you improve yourself. So just complete your task
and move on. If you do your best you should feel satisfied. That deep
satisfaction is somehow related to happiness in a simplified manner. Happiness
is what everyone wants, right? People are chasing some idealistic life
situation that they believe will make them happy, but when they reach what they
want their best days are already gone.
Happiness is not what you think
Happiness is not out there but inside you. When you feel relaxed, your mind is quiet, and your soul
is filled with harmony and good intentions, that's happiness. It does not matter if you have a fortune or not.
You should not expect money to make you feel better if otherwise you are
miserable, because your mind is occupied with making comparisons between
yourself and others. What if you never realize your dream of wealth? If your
happiness depends on money, you are bound to be unhappy forever. You should not
reassure yourself by thinking that devoting your time and energy to earning as
much money as you can will reward you with happiness some time in the future. Never think of happiness as something that belongs to the
future. You should concentrate on this moment alone, because what if you die
tomorrow? You
should think about the here and now, feeling grateful for having another day to
live. Just think about all the reasons you have to be happy! You are healthy,
you are beloved, the world around you is beautiful, just have a look at those
flowers, just have a walk in the sunshine! Be satisfied with what you have
instead of chasing dreams that are never to be realized.
Keep hoping for the best
No, this does not mean that you should resign
all your ambitions. You are better off being motivated to do more and be more.
But no failure should be followed by unhappiness. Optimism and positive attitude is what can keep us going.
Hope is what propels life forward and helps us with however hard life situation
we get into. Poverty
should not prevent you from noticing the beauty of the world around you and
with a soul immensely rich you can help others more than money in itself ever
could.
Keep in mind that bad days are followed by good ones
Never give up, because goals that have realistic
foundation can be reached if you work hard. What one can think and believe is just what
one can achieve. Trust yourself, allow yourself to dream, and believe in the
success of your plans. No one is predestined to have an unhappy existence. Bad
things might happen to everyone, but they are generally followed by good days
just like night is followed by daylight.
Being loved is what makes you the happiest
Don't think of happiness as something that other people can provide. It is natural that you want to be loved, but it is not
the other person who makes you happy. The feeling is inside you! You
only need someone to feed your happiness, but they do not generate it. It is
hard to define, however, who is the one for you. Sometimes the ugliest person can become the most
beautiful because the love that you feel changes the way you see. Never try to explain why you love someone for your heart
knows these things better than your brain. It
sends you the clearest signals when the right person comes along. Sometimes you
fall for the wrong one, but that happens for a reason, too. Just look for
someone with whom you both can make each other feel loved, important and
attractive. Earthly happiness comes from the feeling that you would give or
sacrifice everything for that person because you are so deeply in love and
whenever you look at each other you know that you are loved with the same
intensity and your presence is a source of joy and happiness for the dear one.
Choose the right way to live
So what is to be done in this earthly existence? Just do whatever
you must and strive for happiness, but remain humane in the process. Live in a way so that you don't feel any regret if you
must die tomorrow. Every new day gives you an opportunity to choose the life
that makes you happier. Everything depends on your attitude.
And don't take tomorrow's worries on yourself today! Each day has its own
worries to cope with. It is more than enough for you to take today's worries on
you today. The choice is yours. Also you can choose the way you react in
certain situations. Also you can choose the way you want to live. Also you can
decide if you want to let people affect your mood. Just live so that you build,
not destroy. Let your soul fill with harmony and enjoy life and its beauty,
because there is only one existence that you can live through. At least in this
form...
