Hello Kara Ebel. I enjoyed this video and found a lot of value in it. Growing up for me focusing on my limitations has made it a kind of habit. No matter how happy I am sooner or later am back to thinking about what's missing in my Life. Is there a way I could rid myself of this feeling. I wish there is I have my health, and I can take care of myself and all that.
Henry, thank you for sharing! This habit you've developed is something you can change, and it starts with remembering that happiness and satisfaction are actually choices we make. I’ve met many people who haven’t got much in life and are still so happy. How? Naval Ravikant, an entrepreneur, puts it this way: 'Happiness is a choice you make and a skill you develop.' He suggests that we can train ourselves to be happy, just like we train our bodies at the gym. Here's a practical way to start: Each day, look for one small moment where you can consciously choose to be content with what you have, rather than focusing on what's missing. It could be while drinking your morning coffee, during your commute, or even when doing a mundane task like washing dishes. In that moment, pause and really engage with your world. Notice the good things about it. This isn't about forcing positivity, but about shifting your focus. To make this a habit, try to do this at roughly the same time each day, or tie it to a specific daily activity. Over time, you might find yourself naturally looking for these moments more often. Remember, this is a skill you're developing. It might feel awkward or even silly at first, but stick with it. You're essentially rewiring your brain to notice contentment instead of lack. It's important to note that this doesn't mean you should stop wanting to improve. The goal is to reduce negative thinking that doesn't serve you. Constructive thinking, where you plan how to improve things, is still valuable. It's about finding a balance between contentment and growth. Give this a shot for a couple of weeks. I'd be really interested to hear how this approach works for you and how you adapt it to fit your life.
In a couple weeks time. I will tell you how it went. Once again I appreciate the time you took to carefully point me in the right direction. 🙏 I truly do appreciate
