What makes you unhappy

Published on Dec 01, 2023 • 3 Min read


In the journey of #life, happiness is not just a destination; it's a choice because happiness is our integral #nature. So, I have the #power to decide if I want to live true or not.

I've had the privilege of interacting with countless individuals on their quest for happiness, and I've often found that a lack of awareness of our true nature is the most common hurdle on our #journey to happiness. Here is a snapshot of some factors that contribute to our #unhappiness.

Comparing urselves to others is one of the quickest routes to unhappiness. The truth is, there will always be someone #smarter, #wealthier, or more accomplished than us. And, the other side is also true, there will always be someone less than us. Living with arrogance or scarcity are sure-shot way to create #clutter. Embrace your #uniqueness and focus on your #transformation to grow.

Living in the past or future, we often dwell on past mistakes or worry about the #future. While reflection and #planning are essential, living in these dimensions can lead to anxiety and regret. The future is not known and the past cannot be undone, so the key to happiness is being present in the #moment.

Seeking external validation from others to validate our worth gives the steering wheel of our life into the hands of the #world. True happiness comes from acknowledging your inner #perfection and #wholeness. Own your power to be the architect of your life.

Holding onto grudges and resentments can be a heavy burden. We are all human. #Forgive yourself and others to own your #peace and #freeyourself. Let go of the past and make space for happiness and #creativity in your heart. Relationships are the balm for the soul.

Ignoring our well-being due to our habits and perceptions hurts us. Remember #selfcare is not selfish; it's a necessity. Take time to nourish your body, #mind, and #soul. Resilience and agility are the foundation of a happy and fulfilling life.

Resisting change does not stop life, living in denial or procrastination can lead to unhappiness. #Dynamism is a reality; #embrace and invite change as an opportunity for #growth and personal evolution. Creativity and #innovation are like fuel to our joy.

Striving for #perfection can be paralyzing and set unrealistic standards. Understand that it's okay to make mistakes and learn from them. Progress, not perfection, is the key to #happiness.

Lack of purpose or #vision causes us to drift in life. Rolling stones only gather moss. Seek out your #passions and #align your actions with your values. When you live with purpose, every day becomes a #gift.

As we journey through life, let us remember that unhappiness often results from the choices we make, the #perspectives we hold, and the attachments we cling to. By identifying these factors and working towards a more self-aware life, we can pave the way for #true and lasting happiness.
