Why are some people happy? Why are others sad?
Sometime ago, I came across the following picture on Facebook, which beautifully explains why some people are happy while others are unhappy in the same world.
Human life is a mix of both good and bad things.
- If you focus only on the bad things in life, ignoring the good things, you will be unhappy.
- If you focus on the good things in life, ignoring bad things, you will be happy.
Hence, happiness depends on your perspective on life.
Most people associate happiness with success without realising that it is not the byproduct of success but a cause.
- If you find happiness amid the miseries of life, you are likely to achieve more success in life, which will make you even happier.
- If you focus on unhappiness, you are likely to fail in your endeavour, which will make you even more miserable.
Albert Schweitzer wisely said, “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”
Hence, if you wish to have happiness and success in life, strive not to make more money or get more power, but learn to change your perspective on life.
