How Can You Be Happy in an Imperfect
World?
It is very simple to believe And becomes imperative to think of only good
things And that life is paradise.
However, this is not true. There is nothing like paradise on earth.
There are many imperfections, irregularities, negativities, fears, And
disillusions. Your ability to cope with these negativities And bounce back
emitting positive vibes shows your capability to be happy in an imperfect
world.
Life is nothing short of a permanent struggle. You have to abide by the rules
of nature. You have to accept both positive And negative sides of existence.
Death is as much a reality as life itself. Happiness And unhappiness, pain
And relief, predictable And whimsical go hand in hand. If one exists, the
other also exists. You cannot dispute those facts.
All these facts stem from your perceptions. You cultivate And inoculate right
from wrong, good from evil, And so on. Therefore, you create a picture of an
ideal world And then view And compare your circumstances from your world.
You try to change everything to suit your preferences.
How to be happy amid such imperfections
The only way to combat this perception is to accept things as they are. What
you receive from life And nature is the ultimate. Think, perceive, experience,
And accept the world as it is. Do not look at it from behind colored glasses.
Once you understand this fact, you can find happiness everywhere And
anywhere in this imperfect world.
However, human nature has both optimism And pessimism within. You as
an individual can conquer pessimism with your optimism. You err, as you
are human. However, if you learn from your mistakes, you evolve into a better
individual. You are able to give more to this world. You can spread positive
feelings around you And others.
Some of you try to avoid the darker facts of life by allaying their existence.
Although it does give you a short reprieve, you fear it in some corner of your
heart. Hence, instead of avoiding or dispelling your fears, tackle them by
accepting these grim realities of life as coexistent with your basic existence
itself. This puts you on a sublime situation And you can locate happiness in
facing reality.
Deficit Motivation vs. Abundance
Motivation
Deficit motivation, as the name suggests, is your belief that whatever you
have received or are receiving is much lower than you should receive.
Deficit motivation indicates yourself being in scarcity And hence, would
appreciate any increases.
This creates a feeling of depression And you seem to harbor ill feelings
against others as they have more than you do. You try to take away from
others what you feel should rightfully belong to you. Sometimes, you go into
a cocoon due to your grievance And apathy.
Abundance motivation indicates loads of everything. You feel that you have
much more than your expectations. You dispel extreme satisfaction over your
bounty. You possess a feeling of extreme gratefulness.
Whatever you receive beyond is a bonus And you do not harbor any ill
feelings. It is a feeling of contentment. Anything else you receive is for your
desire And it is not anything that you feel accrues to you. You are happy with
what you have And try to share it with others.
However, the glitch here is that your feeling of abundance And deficit does
not match with your actual bearings. It is your individual perception. If you set
very high goals for yourself, you remain in a state of deficit motivation
constantly. You think that you should deserve it. This triggers a set of
emotions, which harbor negative feelings like anger, resentment,
depression, jealousy, And others.
Rather, if you view whatever you have in terms of abundance motivation, you
feel overwhelmed. You feel grateful And experience a deep sense of
satisfaction, peace, And happiness. You are able to appreciate the
subtleness in everything. You find abundance in nature, your feelings,
belongings, And in everyone. Therefore, it leads to assertive or positive
thinking And aiming for similar goals. Hence, abundance motivation leads
you to further positiveness And optimism in life.
Abundance motivation denotes the powerful motivation from within while
deficit motivation points towards victimization. You feel that you lack in
everything, as you do not receive it from others. Modifying this concept can
help you think that you could give much more to others.
This is lodging you on abundance motivation.
Stop And appreciate what you have. Stop And look at what you have achieved
in life. If you are reading this, you have achieved learning how to read. Each
step as you go on in life, will bring you to small goals And large goals. But,
take a moment to relax And appreciate where you have been.
