Expectations and Happiness

Sometimes, we feel a sudden urge to change everything in our life. So, we get up with an intention that we’ll start changing stuff but we look around and BOOM! We can’t really help anything. Because we’re so twisted in the maze we’d stepped into, years ago. Because it was not like this when it was in our head.
When people say that they have nothing planned in their head about what they were going to do in future, they lie. Because every single one of us has planned a million times of how we want our future to be like. We all dream of money and comfort. And all we do in the first twenty years of our existence is to make a mind map which leads us to the picture of ourselves in the future. What we do in the next ten years is follow that mind map. When things do not go exactly as we thought they would, we give up all the taste of living the best out of our life and choose a life of monotony and wait for our death. We think of our work as a necessity to earn a livelihood and not as living and giving a part of ourselves to it.
There is always a huge difference between how things happen and how we expect them to, obviously when we say we want be a millionaire, it does sound believable in our head, does it not? But reality check, Cross check. Yup, it’s an imaginary thought.
Things can’t always go wrong but sometimes, they do. At those moments in life we have to accept what really happened and still not get disappointed and continue dreaming about a happily ever after in those scenarios.
Try to make the most out of where you are and what you are doing. Things do not change instantly. And when we’re caught up in a scenario it is up to us if we want to live it happily or regret it for the rest of our lives.
The simple point is every one of us can bear every set of conditions we’re put into or that we get ourselves into. There’s no such thing as ‘I suck at my job.’ Or ‘This is not what I wanted.’ Because when we reach somewhere it is a result of our own deeds.
There are times in life when we sit and wonder what we’re actually doing in our life or why we are doing it? Does it bring us happiness or satisfaction? So, answer this question to yourself first. Pick up your life right from where you left off living it. Seek what sets your soul on fire. Be reckless. Not purposeless. And be happy at wherever you are at any point of your life.
We’ve all seen people in huts living off a life the best they can and we’ve also seen millionaires giving up on the very precious life due to god knows what reasons. We’re the playmakers of our own life. And if we can write our own destiny, can’t we stick by it and stay happy? We can do this, can’t we?
