Life gets stuck in the limbo sometimes and in these moments, we may fail to see how lucky we are at times as our problems engulf us making the future look uncertain. Nobody knows how the future is going to be like but we can still take action to make it better as that is what living is all about. Doing greater things and doing what truly makes us happy.
Doing those times of hardship, we may be forced to do things that are beyond our current abilities. But we may end up being stronger mentally and more ready than ever to face any obstacles coming our way knowing that we can overcome them just as well as overcoming these problems. But sometimes the situation may call us to do what is best for everybody, not necessarily the best for us and we end up feeling miserable ourselves.
Look, only you knows what is truly happiness. In your own terms. Not as defined as those instagram worthy pictures. They can be good at masking their bad days, problems and unpleasant situations. They are good at masking what they have to hide and only choose what they want to highlight to garner more attention, more followers and more views. But they're them. You're you. If posing in provocative positions and taking highly edited selfies are their thing and makes them truly happy when they get attention, let them.
I always try my best to look at things from a different perspective. I believe we should too. People giving up high paying jobs or their comfortable lifestyle just so that they can concentrate on helping other people and pursue their passion and with that, they define what is truly happiness for them. If people have money, they can choose to spend on luxurious things because accumulating these make them feel like they are successful and proud of their achievements. But some people choose to spend their wealth on helping others because at the end of the day, these are inanimate objects. Can you truly be happy with them? Can they help to cheer you up when you're down. At one point of time, during my depressive moments, and when I just loved buying shoes and bags, even if I thought they're pretty ugly after I paid for them or the shoes don't really fit well but they're pretty, I felt that these don't help me out of my depression. Probably add on after I spent money on them unnecessarily.
Seeing other people being happy in ways that we can help them is joy and happiness that cannot be measured in monetary terms. Simple joys of buying a meal for our family, treating our close friends on their birthday or enjoying each other's company during a gathering defines happiness more than having the idea of achieving squad goals like the popular instagram-mers.
At times in life we get too focused on things that we think will promise us the happiness that we want. But when we get sidetracked or we don't fully accomplish what we want because let's face it, we are all different in our ways. What they have achieved and what we have achieved can be miles different but the aim is the same. We just want to be our best and the journey counts more than being at the final destination. But if we are too focused on the end only and forget about the blood, sweat and tears to know how far we have come, it's as if we have achieved nothing. We let ourselves think that we can only be truly happy if we have reached that destination. But along the way, we must celebrate each and every milestone. To be happy that we have pushed ourselves this far, no matter if we win or lose at the end of the day.
For me, achieving my ultimate weight has always been my motivation. Though there used to be times I feel like I'm going back and not moving forward because I lose track and I feel upset about the whole thing as though I'm a failure. I have reasons to be upset if I didn't do what I have planned to do to get that point. But if I truly want to achieve that weight, I focus on that but it doesn't mean I get all upset again if the journey is still far from there. I celebrate each day with small wins like swapping sweet drinks with plain water, choosing to drink sips of plain water in the evening when I get hungry and then taking 20 to 25 minutes of walk to my destination after work instead of taking the bus. I choose to be happy that for every small daily win, I am one step closer to my end goal.
People who have been sick for a long time and by miracle, they survived and starting life anew, although it will be a far cry from their previous lifestyle, appreciate what they have right now. They just want to live a life of no regrets. We can choose for people to mold us to be what they think are right for us but not necessarily making us happy. We can choose that path or we can carve a path on our own and get what we truly want instead of constantly wanting to be accepted. We lose our soul bit by bit even though we are physically still standing here but every single day, we let our soul be eaten by thoughts that we are just doing what they want us to and yet we are feeling miserable day by day.
Don't let haters rule your day or your life. Don't let the glossy images people constantly put up on social media put you down because you have far better things to accomplish in life. Celebrate small wins in life even if the journey is far from over. Celebrate what you have right now and be happy about them instead of waiting to be happy only when you have achieved certain goals and accomplishments. We never know when the rug gets pulled from under our feet. Are we going to let ourselves be miserable all the time?
You deserve to do things that truly makes YOU happy.
