Are you UNHAPPY with your LIFE?!!

Are we unhappy with our lives? 😭 I would say I am. I can't seem to be at peace with myself or having meaningful relationships. Even my job is always in question. Please share your thoughts. Are you UNHAPPY with your LIFE?!! 😲

Hi NG, I very well know that I have lot of things in life which make me unhappy. I am facing a lot of disappointments and problems. But am I not to ask here what have I missed? And that is more important according to me. One fact is Abraham Lincoln, Madame Curie, Henry Ford, J.K.Rowling, Neale Donald Walsch and any number of successful people have all faced many disappointments in life. What I have to see is what I can learn from how they became successful from their disappointments and unhappy positions. God definitely wants to help everyone of us including me. The most important reason why I am unhappy is I expect a lot around me to change which is not true. I can be the change instead. Definitely one thing I like is it would be nice if I am interacting more with people who understand me. Why not for a change can't I be the person who tries to understand the persons with whom I am interacting and be more caring, compassionate, gentle and tender to them? And also why not myself be the person with minimum of expectations on others?

For peace of mind turn to some God, Higher Power, Philosophy etc for a little assistance.

Life is not as bad as it seems and sometimes we just have to remain patient and the sun will shine again. Some say the sun is shining all the time but we are hiding in the shadows.

Perhaps the world is only our own reflection.

Jobs - in the early years of working there is much demanded because we are in the learning phase, so try to gain as much experience as possible and give it your best shot.

Love - This can be tricky but I would say be steady and do not lose yourself.

I would place my life in the "Thoda hai,thode ki zaroorat hai category".

Of course there are unfulfilled dreams. There are many things I want and can't seem to have. There is a restlessness and frustration of wanting something better. However, I am definitely not unhappy. Because there is still so much I do have and am grateful about. My basic needs are fulfilled. I have a loving family, close friends, a steady job and am still in a good place. There is no reason to be unhappy. Just working towards things I still want.

Very unhappy... My life is rewened.
When destiny breaks u.. Its hard to strike back n that's wat happened to me ... I hav no way of handling myself n gaining peace.

I've recently come to the realization that I have no idea where my life is going and where I am headed. This confusion makes me really unhappy and very stressed out. I'm not even sure how to figure it all out.

i do agree with all of that, but how about pain of losing your loved ones. it creates those emotional wounds that stay with you all the time. moreover in my case i dont want to let go of pain.

other things one can definitely overcome using internal strength

Yes we miss our loved ones. Pain of attachment can only go away through prayers I think. A little reasoning would also help. Nothing in this universe is ever lost. Departed souls normally go to another plane and continue their their journey of evolving. Believe in a God or Higher Power and we realise that the same God can easily create another similar soul including our ownselves too. It is all in the thoughts they say, and thoughts connect and link us to everyone. I read that we should not "disturb" those who have left too much, but prayers for them etc are good and will help them in their journey.

Oh sis Waheguru will look after you.

I've been unhappy with my life for the past 20 years. Far too many unexpected and bad things have happened which has turned me into a miserable person. I no longer have any dreams or wishes however I still have a tiny bit of hope left. Maybe some day I will finally be happy...
