How to Get Satisfaction in Life?
Whenever I want to write something new, my mind came across many things, sometimes I became stuck with the topic on which I should write next. Sticking with around ten to twenty ideas on a Sunday morning, I decided that this time I would prefer writing a small blog only and that too on some self improvement topic only.
The moment I decided about it, I thought to write on something which is lacking badly in our society during recent time. And hence I came up to blog something on how to get satisfaction in our life.
Well, I am quite sure that you all will support that patience and satisfaction, these two things has disappeared badly during recent time. One of the blog posts of mine on Patience was one of the blog for which I received so many messages appreciating my points. You can also read the same at:
Patience – The Secret behind a Happy Life!
Well, frankly speaking, not only patience but satisfaction is also required in our life to make our life happier. Forget about others, many people think about me that I am a satisfied person, which I too believe up to an extent, but sometimes I too became unsatisfied with my life.
I also has some unfulfilled desires, I too want to travel worldwide, I too want to visit to some nearby places, I too want to live a life king size, I too think that I should do this and do that, and blah-blah. I am not other than anyone.
To be very frank, I am more or less satisfied with my life, as I do have a loving wife, who cares me, understand me, and who gives me the best gift of my life, my daughter Garima (Pihu), who is a gem in my life. Other than the smiles of those two people (if by anyway any of the two became sad for any reason) in my life, I don’t feel myself unsatisfied.
Let us go back to our original discussion of satisfaction. This blog post of mine is for the guys and girls who are still unsatisfied from their life despite having all the necessary things in their life. They feel unsatisfied in their life, despite having all the things required for living a happy life and the minimum wealth required to run a smooth life.
But then why are those people unsatisfied from their life?
I feel shocked sometimes when I see a person sitting at a very reputable post at a very esteemed organization, getting really decent salary, having all the love in their life, having all the respect in their life, but all these things don’t even make them happy in their life.
Why?
This state of mind can be called as a stage in which people don’t even understand the things which can make them happy in their life.
Reason behind Lack of Satisfaction
What do you think is the reason behind this lack of satisfaction in their life?
Well, as per me it is because of the unlimited desires of the person, or the unfulfilled ambitions of a person which make them unsatisfied in their life.
To be very frank, the day I started blogging, I thought that within a year at least one or two million people will start recognizing me as a blogger. But was it that much simple?
Not at all.
So, still after spending six or a bit more years in blogging I am quite sure that no more than a few hundred people are there who recognize me as a blogger. So this stage should make me unsatisfied with my blogs, but I did not.
I am too satisfied with my achievements as I know my limitations as well. I know that I lack with so many things, and thus I would not become that much popular within a few years. To reach to that caliber I need at least a few decades, which too will not be enough for me to establish myself as a renowned blogger.
Let me come to my professional life as well, I am working from last nine or ten years, and reached to a very good level as well, but did never compromised for anything, and never desired for something which I cannot be able to achieve. But then I too faced some real bad phase in my life, I have been accepted the offer of Assistant Team Leader as well, despite being the fact that I worked as a Manager for around six+ years too, but then it is not about being demoted to a lower rank but it’s all about getting satisfied with whatever options you have in your hand. So the point which I wanted to tell you over here, is that we should have such types of desires or ambitions which are achievable but we know we would not be able to reach their very soon.
Let me also tell you one interesting thing, it was my misfortune or a general thing over here, that I worked in companies in which top management was full of the guys who use to reach there with the help of their buttering ability. So working with those guys was really difficult. But then when you see that other guys are reaching at the top with the help of unfair means, then why would not I too use the same?
Well, here again comes the satisfaction quality, which always forces me to stand with my value and never allowed me to do buttering types of thing. To please the CEO of a company I cannot agree to do something which will ultimately harm their own company. And hence I might not being able to get the hike or promotion, but then it doesn’t means that much for me. I am satisfied with whatever I have achieved so far in my life, and hopefully will achieve something better in coming days as well.
How to Get Rid of Lack of Satisfaction?
Well, I know that we all have to face the things like early wake up, getting ready for office in a hurry, seems that watch is running too fast than us, huge row of vehicles on road, rushing everyday to office, struggling with traffic jam, unpleased boss, and their angriness, problem of office politics, polluted environment, junk food, stressed life, poor social structure, desires of getting more and more at work place and in personal life as well, etc. I know that all these things force us to compromise us at every step in our life. How come then we are able to get satisfied?
How to Be Satisfied in Life?
Here are a few ways which I can suggest to you all:
Be Happy
Consider your life with someone who doesn’t even has a roof, or who don’t even has something to eat. Are not your lives too better than that person?
Relax; you might say me that I am comparing your life with a person who don’t have the status to compare with you. Okay then, let’s compare your life with your colleague only.
Don’t you think that God or Nature has given you the same things which your colleague is having? A bit of ups and down of the things are common. Why to worry then?
Don’t you think that always thinking about future will never ever allow you to live the present happily?
Let’s forget about what is stored for you in future and enjoy your present, be calm down and think about small-small things which can make you happy in your life.
Don’t be Frustrated
When you become anger with your present situation, what harm are you going to do with others? Actually with anger you are going to harm your own life only, thus ruining your own family’s happiness.
Thus my dear friend, try not to be anger with your situation, don’t be frustrated, whatever is destined for you, you will get the same, so no need to be worry about them. Let’s go out and live your present life happily.
Spent Time with Your Family
One of the finest ways to come out of this frustration level or angriness is to spent time with your family. See the lovely smile of your wife or kids and enjoy time with them. Don’t know how, then must read this blog of mine.
I am quite sure your family will love this.
Meditation
Meditation, yoga, etc. will definitely help to be calm and relax. Must try these things, else you can also go for a long walk at early morning, I am sure it will definitely help you to become calm.
When I started writing this blog I thought it to make a really short blog, but now I am seeing that it has already reached to a great length. So to conclude this discussion I want to say a few words out here.
Don’t you think that whatever you have right now, are exactly the things which you wished for in past? If that is true then are not your demands increasing too much? What is the guarantee that the same things will not happen when you have the things which you are wishing right now?
So what I would suggest you all to stop comparing yourself and your condition with others, if you still want to compare then do so with your own life a few years back, if you think you have achieved so much, then just relax, and if you think oh I am lacking something, then try to improve yourself only to achieve the remaining things.
Be confident, thankful and grateful, and try to help everyone else. Believe me my dear friends; helping others always gives the happiness.
Live simply and enjoy the happiness now. 🙂 Let me go out and enjoy my own life with my little angel, she is waiting for me to play with on a Sunday afternoon. See you tomorrow with something new.
