Have you ever wondered why you feel so unhappy about life? If you have thought about it before, you may find that the answer to the above question is yourself. Find it hard to accept? Take some time off now and reflect on your unhappiness, you will know what I mean.
You worked extremely hard to move up in your career ladder. In exchange for that, you neglected the people who love and care for you. You are too busy to find time for your family. Each time you promised to take your family to a nice vacation, you failed to fulfill it because you could not find the time.
Your family felt unhappy, and this made you feel unhappy. You failed to understand why your wife and children did not realize that you were slogging for them. You blamed your wife for not being accommodating, and your children for being too demanding.
In your workplace where you devoted much of your time at, you suffered the same fate. A small error can ruin your entire day and you find it hard to manage your temper. The stress is taking a toll on your mental health and you wondered why this was happening to you. You still persevered, making life more difficult for yourself.
Your appetite worsens and you are also losing sleep. You wanted to improve your health by going to a gym but never did so. Eventually, your health went downhill which makes you more frustrated and angry with yourself.
But you continued to live on a big, white hope – the hope that tomorrow will be a better day. Tomorrow, you will have everything, and there will be no further need to spend long hours away from your family.
But did that happen? It did not. This is because you looked at external factors to find your happiness. You thought you would be happy if you could buy that big, white car or the beautiful hill on the house where the town’s richest people lived. You never tried to find happiness in what you had -- a lovable wife, a pretty daughter, food on the table, a respectable job and friends who liked you.
You were more worried about what your peer group would say. You tried to read meaning in comments made by your colleagues. The result was that even the smallest snide remark upset you. You felt frustrated if your boss handed an assignment you wanted to your rival. You were constantly gnawed by feelings of jealousy, resentment and anger.
You never made an effort to leave these thoughts behind when you left for home. Instead you allowed them to grow on you as you drove home. This colored your interactions with your wife and children. You took out your frustrations on them, instead of finding support and happiness in their company. Your turning to liquor to drown your sorrows did not end you woes. Instead, it only added to unhappiness at home.
This is just a typical story of any working adults in today's society. To stop yourself from falling into this vicious cycle, you need to take action now. Make a list of all the things you want to accomplish. Be sure that the list has yourself devoting sometime to your family and for you.
After you are done with your list, reorganize your schedule to make time for all the things you want to do. This is not to disrupt or disturb your life. The main purpose to get your priorities right. You will realize that you have found the way to happiness.
