How to Achieve Satisfaction in Our Life?
I think it is a common question for all of us, “How to Achieve Satisfaction in Our Life?”
We all strive to experience the feeling of fulfillment and being satisfied. But is it easy to live a satisfying life?
In a world where we always focus on more and better, it is quite tough to remain happy with what we have got. There are numerous pressures in all aspects of life, like to have the most luxurious lifestyle, to maintain perfect relationships, and to have the most talented kids. Is it going to happen to all of us?
If you always think that you are not satisfied with your Life, then you are finding yourself in a lonely zone which is caused by the lack of enough love which you want or of what you desire.
Am I not correct??
Ask yourself, honestly. Is this not the root cause of all the problems?
Let us think about it deeply. Numerous factors contribute to achieving Satisfaction in our Life, which we all strive for. The most important ones are our health, romantic relationships, relation with our family members, our working environment, the value our friends give us and many more things.
Let me an elaborate answer to this question with the help of an experience of my life-
A boy fell in love with me. After following me for a few months, he finally proposed to me, and then I agreed too. We got what we wanted in the form of the love of our life. But the time was slowly changing, and now the boy is under the immense pressure of his job and other life-related problems. He feels restlessness now. See this is the case here when the prior level of satisfaction which he achieved once has now lost somewhere. He is now finding his new definition of satisfaction in the name of his career.
So the point here is, we do not get Satisfaction from a single thing or a single wish-fulfillment in our Life. We want more and more. And this causes pain, which we get in return for the hunt of that incredible feeling of contentment.
How satisfied are you with your Life depends on your expectations and learning the art of being confident with what you already have. We all are stuck in the happiness trap, and that is the reason why we are always dissatisfied with Life.
Generally, all of us lack directions in our lives. This lack leads to the feeling of restlessness and dissatisfaction, and this dissatisfaction results in depression. This problem can be sorted out by self-realization, but we have to work hard on it because self-realization is the toughest thing for any individual.
We should sit in a lonely and quiet place, and then analyze our feelings. We should question ourselves what we want? It will feel funny to do. But it will give you a clear vision of your desires.
For example, to some of the people, money is necessary, but for others, the family is essential. To achieve Satisfaction in our Life, we should learn to differentiate between momentary Satisfaction and Satisfaction for a lifetime.
People are generally unaware of their potentials; they often limit their thoughts. Not consciously, but when we think ourselves inferior or weak, we create an impression of our thoughts in our subconscious mind. Sometimes we lack that confidence, which, if once achieved, will lead us to the path of success and ultimate Satisfaction.
Think of a man who would not have thought of landing on the moon or exploring space would we be at the same place where we are right now? If women would have considered themselves weak in comparison to men, then would they have been admitted to the Army? Today women are at top positions throughout in the world, only because they are willing to take some needed risks.
There are numerous examples when people took risks and created history. So, we should never feel low and try to make every needed risk in our Life (unless chances are dangerous or worthless).
Motivation is one of the crucial factors which decides our career, future and finally the level of Satisfaction which we want. In my view, Motivation is one of the most potent tools which helps us to get rid of negative thoughts in our minds. Motivation is of two kinds, first is Motivation from family and friends, and second is self-motivation.
Sometimes in our Life, we don’t only need Knowledge and Potential, We also need someone who believes in us and always boosts us morally. He or she can be anyone means your friend, brother, sister, lover, or any relative. You should search for that ‘KICK’ in your Life.
Self-motivation is also a good thing. We should always try to motivate ourselves to do good and to focus on the things which give us long-lasting happiness.
Satisfaction lies in the purity of feelings, and purity comes from positivity. We should try to get surrounded by the people who spread positivity. Even the most detrimental type of person can be transformed to think positively if positive people always surround him/her.
This, you can slowly achieve uniquely. Write your daily routine at night, write a gratitude page everyday thanking all the great things which happened to you for the whole day. Try to fill your mind with positive thoughts — neglect negativities.
As we all know, every single person of this universe is unique, and we should never compare ourselves with others. I have seen many people who compare themselves on the grounds of beauty, wealth, knowledge, and many more things. Is it right to do so? If you are more beautiful than me, I might be more intelligent than you. If you are more wealthy, I can be happier. See the difference. Value the assets, which the Supreme Lord has given to you. Not everyone is you, and you are not everyone. Understand it.
Be simple; don’t show off. Always try to be the real you. There is nothing better and more attractive than simplicity. Live your Life transparently — no need to tell lies if you are not having expensive stuff, cars, or Villas. Confidently accept your reality, people will start admiring you. And the level of satisfaction which you will get from this pure feeling is better than anything.
There is nothing more important than the Life which we all have got. If there would be no life, then will there be any question of being satisfied or dissatisfied? Think about it. There is a life, so there are feelings, emotions, desires, and also hunt for Satisfaction. So value your Life and live your life as no one has lived before.
There is also confusion between happiness and satisfaction. Prior is momentary, it can be a result of any kind of achievement or celebration, but the latter is permanent. If you learn to differentiate between these two, you will find the path to the final goal of your Life. And this will lead you to the ultimate level of Satisfaction.
For me, satisfaction comes when I see anyone smiling because of me. Can Satisfaction be more significant and broader than the look of those satisfied eyes who rely blindly on you? Can we achieve a higher level of satisfaction which we get in the smile of a just fed hungry soul? We should find real Satisfaction in our Life. Trust me. It is more attractive and beautiful than we have ever thought.
