Its your life, love it and live it

You know so many people are going through life feeling extremely miserable, very unhappy and non-accomplished. There’s many reasons why I believe this occurs. One primary reason in my opinion, is that folks haven’t learned how to take a Good look at who they are, what they have, and recognize and appreciate the good and beauty in what’s in front of them.

Sometimes, we get so focus on looking at what we don’t have, that we miss enjoying the good in what we do have. We can easily lose sight of what our life can really be like because we concentrate to much on what we don’t have. You know there is always someone worse off than you are, and they would love to have what you have. We can always find something to be unhappy about and we can always find room to complain about it. But strangely enough, we find it very difficult to love and appreciating our life, as is it.

Research show that at least 70% of working people hate their job. Most of them only remain on the job because they fear change, or they walking away from the income they’ve become accustomed to making. I can remember being a part of that 70%. I was getting up everyday going to a job That I hated. I was afraid to leave because the money was good. When I learn that you could put a price tag on my happiness, transitioning out of that job was the best thing that I event did. Yes my income slice 3/4 of what I was making. I had to learn a new way of living and budgeting better. My life became better because I chose happiness over money. My bills got paid and my credit score fee. Here I am now, working less hours, making less money with a 800 credit score. How does that happen. I learned to appreciate life on the Phase and stage of life that I was in.

Just to be clear, this is not only about people not being happy on their jobs. But, folks are unhappy for other reason such as their marriages aren’t fulfilling or what they expected it would be; yet they wont do anything about beautifying it, and Changing the circumstance. There are people who will associate and hang out with folks of whom they feel uncomfortable with because they fear being alone. There are others who are just unhappy about not having a social circle, yet they won’t go out or make themselves known and befriend others.

Why live a life that you’re unhappy with. Why go through the motion and settle where you are just to look like you are doing something and have things are happening for you. I mean think about this way; This is your life. Learn to Live and love it as it is.

So how can you live and love life as it is, Especially when you’ve been living so unhappy for such a long time? Let me give you a few ideas on ways you can learn to start living and loving the life you have:

  1. Change your attitude: Start by shifting your attitude about yourself. Sometimes you have to make some adjustments and changes you attitude in order to feel good about the circumstances and situations that your life is a part of. This is the only life you have, so start with adjusting your attitude by doing things that you enjoy, and learning how to help other people and give back. There so much satisfaction in bringing a smile to another persons face.
  2. Be open to feedback and other perspectives about life: The next important thing that should be done is changing what you are focusing on. Having a single minded perspective about life can really hurt you. Don’t let your perspective become one sided. Learn how to be more open minded and objective to other perspective on life. We need to Learn how to be more receptive to other points of view. It won’t hurt you to learn how to Take in new perspectives, thoughts and ideas. We can Sharpen our perspective about life by being welcoming in other perspectives. Our perception can be skewed so having another viewpoint can help us lighten our thoughts and broaden our minds. We have to keep a proper perspective What’s happening in life.
  3. Don’t compare yourself to others: Finally do not compare your life to others. You have no idea of what these folks went through to get to where they are. You don’t know the trials or tribulations they had to endure to obtain what they got. Everyone have their own story to tell and their own journey to travel. We have gotten so accustomed to having things that we can’t even enjoy what we have because it’s not enough. You know the old adage, when you go, you can’t take things with you, so why are you living so miserable trying to obtain things and can’t enjoy it? It’s never to late to make a change.
