Re-Fuelling Happiness


Life is like a rollercoaster. It has ups and downs. IF there are no downs, life would be boring. The ups and downs make life exciting.  Imagine a rollercoaster that is just going up. Just slowly climbing and climbing and climbing.  It’s no fun. You would reach great heights, but no fun! Life isn’t just about going up, earning money, and being lucky. Life is about enjoying it. If it’s not fun then what’s the point of living one?

Also, What if nothing bad ever happened to you? What if you always remained happy? It seems good but it’s like eating the same dish forever. At some point, you are going to get bored! See, the thing is, unless there is sadness in your life you won’t understand the value of happiness.

Money can’t buy happiness but money can buy you things that make you happy.  Although, don’t develop materialistic happiness. Today you got it, you are happy.  Tomorrow you lose it, boom! Welcome to stress, tension and depression.

How to be happy?

If it was a year ago this would sound totally dumb. But post-covid-19 it’s not! To be happy you just need to master one thing i.e. Gratefulness

Even in tough times gratefulness keeps you motivated.

Be grateful for what you possess. Around a billion people don’t have food or water. Be grateful because you have it. You got an education, a perfect body, food, water and a roof over your head! You are luckier than millions of the people who don’t have it/ can’t afford it.

Be grateful for those people who broke your trust, used you or were fake to you. It’s because of them you know the value of these things.

Be grateful for the mistakes you made, it’s because of them that you are even smarter than you were before. Be grateful for the tough time you had, that’s what made you wiser and mature!

If you are looking back, then make sure you look back to be grateful about or to cherish old memories and not to regret and cry on them.

COPY, EDIT & PASTE

LIFE IS BASED ON THESE THREE PRINCIPLES: COPY, EDIT AND PASTE. If you are going to create something different or create something new then this is not for you. COPYING Humans have the tendency to copy things. That’s why we have trends and terms like the ‘bandwagon effect.’ We see people eating a particular food and we feel like trying it too. How do gyms work? People see others working out, getting in shape and they get influenced, they get motivated and then, they COPY THEM. Everything that you are doing today has been done before. You, I, and everyone else are just copying. What you are learning right now has already been studied. The job you are at right now, somebody else had it, and after you, there’s someone else who’s going to have it. The things that you are doing today: a ton of other people have done it, are doing it or will be doing it. Who are you? A doctor, an engineer, a lawyer, a teacher, whoever you are, there are millions of others like you. So, find people...

BELIEVE it or Leave it.

You are passionate about something, you have got a vision and you can see yourself being successful at it, that’s the exact unfortunate time when people hop in. Now they might not have the same vision or the same perspective. And most of the time they’ll be stubborn and try to not understand your perspective. Or they are not that open-minded enough to understand it. And trust me; such people don’t want to be wrong so they’ll try their best to talk you out of it. They bring in pessimism because if you notice they’ll mostly tell you all the drawbacks and the negative points if you choose to go down that path you envision. They question everything you have planned and then answer it themselves by considering the most “realistic view” of it and eventually get you all demotivated.   So when you have goals just keep them to yourself. Don’t go telling people and asking opinions because you know too many cooks spoil the broth . See, you know yourself better than anyone, so you don’t ...

BREAK FREE

Ever felt like you don’t fit in? And other people just advice you to blend and try to fit in, well don’t take that advice. See, when you feel like you don’t fit in a particular surrounding then you are getting closer to knowing yourself and if you just accept that advice and blend, you’ll probably lose the only chance you had to discover yourself. If you don’t fit, stay alone because it’s better to feel lonely when alone rather than being among people and feeling the same. There’s a quote I follow which says, “ UNKNOWINGLY you become like people you surround yourselves with.” So if you don’t feel like people around you can help you grow then leave! Remember, a smart person living with idiots is only as powerful as the idiots but an idiot living with smart people is as powerful as them. After all, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to look great for some weeks around people who are below you and eventually with time let them drag you to their level or you choose to be the p...
