Ten Interpretations to A Happier Life
-
Khushi K
How
often have we heard ourselves complaining about how unlucky we are in life
or how things are just not working out right for us. However, what we so
easily forget is that at some time before in lives, luck has favoured us.
Here is a list of ten quotations and how we can interpret these to lead a
happier life.
1) Cry a river; build a bridge; get over it.
Let go of past failures, sadness and people whom we remember but who no
longer care for us. This sounds so easy but its easier said than done. We
all have gone through our share of heartaches and sadness. But when we
constantly remember the pain and suffering we had endured, we are allowing
that sadness to gain an upper hand over us. What we must realize is that
what has happened, has happened. Its over and done with. People change and
times change. Moving on in life is very but it’s the first constructive
step to a better you.
2) Everything happens in its own time.
There are things that we do and expect to be rewarded for which does not
happen. In offices there might be a promotion that we might have wanted, a
high percentage of marks in a test or a job offer that we were sure that
was to be given to us etc that never worked out. At such times we lose
perspective and blame our luck and become despondent. We need to realize
that there is a time for everything that happens in our lives. And when
the appropriate time comes, things will start working the way they were
supposed to work.
3) You are the only person who can make yourself happy.
Think of your happiness too and be kind to yourself. In life all of us
have goals and ambitions. But in the pursuit of those goals we lose sight
of the bigger picture that we are doing all that to make ourselves happy.
It happens to all of us. Be more gentle on yourself. Make yourself happy
and that can be done in so many ways. Treat yourself to some ice cream,
buy a book that you were dying to read, spend a day lolling in the bed and
doing nothing.
4) Laughter is the best tranquilizer with no side effects.
Laugh each and every day of your life. Humorous situations happen to us
every single day. Whether you choose to enjoy the moment or not is your
decision. There are so many excuses in our day-to-day life to have a good
laugh. All we need to do is just look at the lighter side of life and
enjoy the moment.
5) Happiness is a journey not a destination.
As we make our journey through life we have so many things to savour and
experience. There is no such thing as instant happiness or happiness that
can be found somewhere. Live your life each day, as you would climb a
mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind,
but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.
6) Do today what others won't so you can live tomorrow like others
can’t.
So many times we are faced with duties and work that we are not happy
doing or performing. In those times instead of hating or shirking from
that work we can try and make use of thought that somehow whatever we
doing will prove beneficial to us one day or the other. Maybe the results
won’t be seen tomorrow but surely we will benefit because we did
something that no one was willing to do.
7) It is never too late to be what you might have become.
There are several factors that cause us to land up doing the work we do.
Many of us at some point of time or the other would have definitely wanted
to make a career change and thought that its too late to do it. But the
truth is its never too late. We can start doing whatever we want to do
because its your life and your decisions.
8) Treasure the love you receive it will survive long after your gold
and good health have vanished.
We always cherish our material possessions more. Life takes a lot from all
of us. Today we might have good health, family love and a good home to go
back to. What we forget is that there are some many calamities that can
take away all our comforts but love is something that can never be taken
away. We need to be more demonstrative of our love towards others and
treat our loved ones with more kindness and affection.
9) The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
Any huge task that needs to be done seems very daunting at first. But if
we analyze the task carefully and do it step by step we will find that
things get resolved very quickly and easily. But we need to be bold enough
to take the first small step. Once that is done we just need to proceed
with small steps towards our goal.
10) Always have: something to do, something to love, something to hope
for.
These three things are something that will keep the flame burning within
all of us. Something to do will keep us busy, something to love will keep
us motivated and something to hope for will take us faster towards our
goal.
