Most of us spend far too much time focusing on what we don’t have instead of appreciating what we do. This mindset sets us up for constant dissatisfaction and unhappiness. By always comparing ourselves to others or wishing for more, we lose sight of the many blessings and opportunities already in front of us. The same goes for fixating on things beyond our control. We waste energy trying to change circumstances or outcomes that simply aren’t within our power. This frustration leads to feelings of sadness and depression, because when you feel powerless, it’s hard to stay positive.
So, let’s shift that focus. Start today by looking at what you do have in your life that holds meaning. Be grateful for the small wins and the things you can influence. Let go of the uncontrollable and instead, direct your energy toward the things you can change. Finally, purpose is essential. Without it, we drift. Find things that give you a sense of accomplishment or joy-whether it’s finishing a project, spending time with loved ones, or simply practicing a hobby. Focusing on what you can change, and pursuing meaningful actions, will transform your outlook and help you find lasting happiness.
