You Can't Have It All

What we want from life?

A high profile job or a mediocre job? Loving parents or caring In-laws? A handsome boyfriend or amorous husband?

Family dinner or late night parties? A simple rule of life is “You can’t have it all”.

Life is not that kind and fair; everyone gets their own share. The most important thing is to feel happy. All that comes to my mind is should we feel happy in what we get or should we know what makes us happy and put all our efforts to get that.

I struggled a lot thinking about this day and night for many years. As a third person’s view my life is so perfect but then I think am I happy? Do I feel motivated? Do I feel contented? Then I realized that I have many things but I don’t have the feeling of satisfaction I don’t feel happy.

I got lot confused I started feeling I am not counting my blessing am I not respecting things I got etc. After lots of thinking I came to a conclusion that it’s not me who is complaining, cribbing and irritable all the time. We may have many things but we don’t know what exactly we want to make us happy.

Happiness can be from a very basic and simple thing like relaxing and sipping a hot coffee on a rainy day, or sleeping till 11 am, or not cleaning up the mess in the home, or sitting whole day doing nothing.

The only thing is we should know what makes us happy. Internal happiness is what is required for a healthy happy life. Accept the fact you can’t have it all. You have to settle down in life with the options you have, choices you made and decisions you took.

Once you have accepted the things you will see that even if you cant have it all, whatever you have you will be able to create a balance and happiness will follow.
