The Key to Happiness
You are here for a reason. You don’t look for food until or unless you're hungry. If you’re going happy in your life then it's plausible that you’re living in your own oblivious life. There comes a time when life hits you hard and there two ways out of that tragedy, either you come on right on track and derail for your entire life. However, whatever you do in life this mystic concept that remains on everyone’s lips is that you should be at least happy and content. Some people say that money can’t buy happiness but capitalists say that you don’t know where to shop then. Partly that can be true as well. However, bear with us to understand this nuanced matter in more depth.
First of all, Happiness is a choice that you make. From here onwards, you know that I'm Asian. But to a certain extent, this might be true as well. At any point in life, you can’t change your life immediately and if you realize your mistakes then it might take some time to rectify them as well. Moreover, life is what you make out of it. Not everyone is born into the richness and not every rich guy is smart enough to discover his own journey early. So everyone in life is struggling through something and struggle shouldn't be always depressing as it was for Rambo. This pop culture reference of that your struggle is not a struggle if you don't shed a few tears. If you’re able to go through it happily then why not and why shouldn’t you enjoy those struggles? After all there an inevitable part of your life. Nobody has left the face of the earth without few a scars so embrace it and tackle it ahead. Choose to be happy at first.
Second of all, somebody’s validation can not bring happiness into your life but surely will shelter your low self-esteem or self-efficacy. Before getting anything done, you have to believe in yourself. If you lose the first battle, then there many spears ahead waiting for you. At times those attacks by the people are rational and for your own good. But again, if you don’t know your own good then either your under-aged or never attained the tools to grow up from being a child. Erase the connection between anyone’s validation and your own happiness. If someone thinks you’re a failure and you believe it, then you are one. If you always attach validation with happiness then most likely you’ll be always able to find someone who has a reason to detest you.
Last of all, live an oblivious life with your goal ahead only. Don’t worry, I won’t give you false hope of achieving anything in life. However, I would say that you would never know if you haven’t tried and nobody knows how long or when will you achieve but that mirage gets the job done. In layman's terms, be busy until you dead drop because anything between would snatch your happiness away. Now being busy can be with your family, friends, and work. Surround yourself with people for who you care and keep their opinions where they are meant to be. I guess if not happy, then now you know how to avoid sadness.
You're Welcome.
