Be Happy Now!
Often I asked myself, When is the right time to be happy?
Is the right time after attain a financial freedom, run a marathon, wrote a novel, bring million visitors my site or after coding a complex app? Yeah all of those things will make me happy. But I know that once I am there I will have a bigger and new goals.
Then should I wait until I attain my new goals to be happy?
I think we need to stop postponing and treating happiness as a prize only we can have if we reach our goal.
We need to find a ways to be happy in our journey.
Then, when is the right time to be happy?
Now.
And, why is it important to be happy?
Because happiness brings the best out of us without making significant changes.
We should stop complaining about little things and start to be happy.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not proposing you should look away when something terrible goes on in your life or while someone was deliberately doing things to upset you.
I'm not asking to budge or learn to live through it. But, make yourself mentally strong enough to not react to silly things and issues that are not in your control.
If you choose to react to everything around you, you wouldn't have the energy to make the right decisions.
Worrying doesn't solve any problem. It is one of the primary causes of people's unhappiness.
We need to put conscious effort into improving our mental and physical endurance. Unimportant things and peoples shouldn't bother our thoughts.
We should value our time and thoughts.
Stop worrying about silly things and spend your time wisely.
- Spend it to improve your product, services and to forge new partnerships.
- Spend it to improve yourself and to do things you love.
- Spend it with the people whom you love and care about and to help the needy.
We all came with a limited amount of time. We don't know our expiry date. But we should remember that there is one.
So, instead of wasting our time thinking about things that make us unhappy and lead us to do something that we are not proud of, let's change our focus to do things that make us happy.
We should consciously and constantly put effort into being happy. Even in dire situations, we should channel our focus on things that will help us overcome adversity.
Remember happiness is not in the destination; It's in the journey. So, find a ways to make a happy journey.
