Do you think your every day is filled with happiness and enthusiasm? Are you living a good life, or you are confused, how to live at all. Further, have you ever felt like your family members and friends don’t understand your problems while they are living a better life? Don’t worry, many people feel like it. Understand that living a life is not difficult but it takes commitment and practice to live a really good life.
Everyone wants happiness in life. Everyone wants to live a healthy, wealthy, and secure life. Everyone wants love in his home and relationships. Dreams are lofty; they should be fulfilled too, and this is how one should live with an abundance of everything. But unfortunately, life is not a lottery system that you will win and no one can even say that if it is your fate then you shall receive it.
So, how to live a contented life?
Happy people bring joy to one another and are not envious of the other’s joy. They know the secret of how to live! They are happy because they don’t live in comparison. The problem arises when we start comparing. That is where envy comes in, or pride arises, or we feel dejected, or make fun of someone. Many people are happy because their way of living is brilliant. Their approach to life is good.
Keep it in mind and repeat that ‘I want to live fully for 100 years.’ I wish to see this world, to live in the joy of it for a hundred years. A prayer in the Vedas says – ‘I wish to live 100 years while listening to sweet, inspiring words and chanting the praises of God. May I live independently for 100 years? May I not need to take help from anyone! I wish that I can give support and not seek support for 100 years.’ And your position should be that in this world of compatibility and adversity, may your life keep moving on in the midst of happiness and sorrow.
What is life? Life is like a fountain and water is its beauty. It flows in a carefree manner between the two banks of happiness and sorrow. Life flows between these two edges but joy and sorrow will touch it inevitably. So, neither swell up in joy nor panic in times of sorrow. Smile while bearing the weight of sorrows in life because there is no respect for the timid here.
Also, this enthusiasm and energy of life that you possess today shall not stay for too long, but if you learn how to use this energy then it will help you reach unimaginable pinnacles in life. So, what should you do in order to use this energy efficiently? Adopt a habit of regular exercise, eat a healthy balanced diet, you must get quality sleep, maintain your weight, make constant efforts to abstain from addictions of any kind and be wary of bad habits, keep good company and listen to a positive talk, say good things, eat well, and feel good about yourself.
Also, those who live connected to nature are always happier. There should be songs and music in life. And you must learn to rejoice amidst nature. Start sparing time for yourself. And you must do deeds that will give you a place in the hearts of others.
Finally, it is said that your age, your height, your skin color, and other features are hidden in your DNA, but only 10% of your life is dependent on your DNA, the rest 90% depends on how you live this life, your behavior, your lifestyle, your self-discipline. If you are able to manage 90% of your life then you shall live a long, happy, and memorable life.
