Everybody views life from different perspectives. People have different opinions on different situation they’re facing. But it really matters how we perceive certain situations in life. We may make dumb conclusions to some real problems but there’s always a little room for improvement. Life is a mixture of a lot of different feelings, emotions, crisis, losses, gains and so much more. Life is full of unpredictable challenges, disappointment, sorrow, joy, happiness, excitement. Life is not meant to be perfect. In literal sense, there’s is no such thing as perfections but if we really are to worship this very little word then we need to understand that perfection lies in imperfection.

  • Throughout my life I’ve observed people fighting constantly to achieve the perfection of life. Little do we know that a perfect life can always be just a dream. Perfection is unattainable. A man earning a handsome salary, living in a beautiful furnished house made up of glass walls, all his latest models of fancy cars, all these luxuries attract us. But in reality it’s that big ass house made up of glass walls and the fancy cars is all that they have. Maybe they need that huge house to bury all their sorrows in. Maybe all those walk in closets, those fancy cars are just hiding places. Maybe those glass walls just show them their messed up lives. Because they’re are clearly lives that are still lacking. life can’t be all about luxuries. Maybe it is to some people but I’m pretty sure the people won’t be still satisfied with these so called perfections.
  • A huge problem people face is being jealous of others. One thing that no matter what motivates us continuously to achieve more and more in life is an obsession with other people’s life which is not healthy at all. This shouldn’t be the case at all. Life actually means to lend your hand to the people who can’t keep up with their essential requirements of life. Life is about cheering others up even if it is for a little second but it’s worth way more than the latest lifestyle we show off. Earn enough to feed yourself and maybe just a single needy one. Teach people a lesson. Live your life as if you’re in a class teaching a bunch of toddlers some basic rules of starting school. These rules will lay basis of their lives and maybe the cycle can go on and on.
  • Inspiring someone to an extent where you start worshipping them is also dangerous. People who’ve achieved huge goals in their lives sometimes attract us so much that we want to be exactly like them knowing that a few things in life are not always meant for everyone. People always get what they deserve. We can’t achieve the unachievable. And before achieving the goals we need to find ourselves. It may look all sorted out but it’s not. Our real selves is lost deep down. Real talent is lost. We shouldn’t live our life on the basis that someone else is laying for us. Everyone has a right to live their life. And maybe by doing it your way you can find real happiness.
  • Choose your path on your own. Cause you can actually be truely happy when you do things your way. I mean we all have the right to do so, we may acquire a little guidance sometimes. Set up your own goals and achieve them your way. Work on them and be happy. Stop living your life based on someone else’s idea of how you’re supposed to live it. Leave no space for sorrow and disappointment. Leave a little room for improvement and you’re all set. Sometimes we want to achieve huge goals just to achieve a state of satisfaction in life. But sometimes setting small goals and achieving them makes us more happy.
  • Our society is destroying our mindsets day by day. Society portrays life of every social media influencer as the fantasy land everyone has wished to be a part of but in vain. Society is killing the real versions of ourselves buried deep down our souls. We are just working non stop to become the person whose been on flashlight of this Sunday newspaper. But is it really worth it? NO! It never was and it never willl be. We need to start living a life that makes us happy. If we kept on worrying about what people have on their plates for us then we’re never going to really succeed.
  • Lastly, we need to stop idealising people. We all have our own purposes in our lives. Sometimes we can’t achieve something people expect from us but it doesn’t mean that we’re worthless. Our real worth is defined by the way we treat other humans. Lend your hand to other people. Help out more people cause this is real happiness. Real happiness is when you forget your own sorrows just for the sake of someone else’s happiness. Being at the top of the billboard might be a luxury but it’s never going to satisfy your heart cause one day we’re going to leave all this behind and what’s going to matter is those little smiles you left on people’s faces and how those people carried out the same thing in their lives and the chain went on and on.
