Life Coaching Information And Advice
Go to: Previous Article Article
In this write-up I write about how we can become content with life by learning to like ourselves and by appreciating what we have in life. There are far too numerous people who are comparing their lives to that of their friends and neighbours, and who then think that they are not good enough. This can make them become envious and even depressed.
I have to admit that I was like the individuals I'm describing above. I was not happy with the car I drove, or at the company where I worked, or at how much cash I earned per year and even with the girlfriend I had. My friends seemed to drive much better vehicles, worked for much better employers, earned far more each year than I did and had much better looking girlfriends, sorry Claire!
I have since managed to change my attitude to life and am now very happy with what I have in life. I now look at the bigger picture and rather than focusing my thoughts at people who I feel are better off than me, I watch the news from all over the world and hear about people who are far less lucky than I'm. I certainly now feel that I'm really extremely fortunate compared to many people who live on this planet.
I also did not really like myself, I wanted to be taller, stronger, a better communicator (I had a stutter), and a lot fitter than I was (I was fairly fat). I've since accepted that there are numerous issues that I can not change, like my height and have therefore accepted that I am shorter than the average male. I have also believed about the positive elements of being short, more leg room on a plane and so on. Other aspects of my life at which I was not happy with, but felt I could change or enhance, I have worked very hard on, and am now at a weight I'm happy with and have overcome the stuttering speech impediment.
I now like myself and if other individuals choose not to, that's okay by me, I've enough people who do. In any case it is what I think that counts, consequently if they think I am a fool, thats fine, because I believe I'm not.
I now have an opinion that what car I drive or how much money I earn isn't essential. For me, well being and happiness are the two most significant things in life and these are things which money can't buy.
I've made the decision that worrying or worrying about a situation does not help me to be successful, it just makes things a whole lot worse and more challenging. I now think to myself, that all I can do in life is to try my best and if I do that I can be proud of myself.
I used to be very hard on myself, my own worst critic. I'm now a lot easier on myself, I've realized that I will make errors and always try to learn from the experiences. My body and brain are temples and I need to be nice to them. Hopefully if I'm they will reward me with my continued health.
I'm now far happier than I've ever been and am determined not to slip back into my old ways of depression and negative thinking.
I hope this article helps you in your quest for a better life.
