Some days back, I had a discussion with some friends on how social media has created another level of ‘happiness’ and made us want to live the lives of other people in exchange for ours and how we think that the ‘perfect life’ we see on social media is better than ours. And then, how is it that we think that a perfect relationship equals to happiness? For me, I believe that it takes two imperfect people; who understand their imperfections to create the perfect relationship. For you to be happy, all you need is to love yourself, be grateful for your life and the things around you.

At the end of the discussion, we agreed that it is important to note that you can change how you want to see life by activating positivism in the real world and loving your life. Here’s 3 ways you can learn to love your life;

Learn something everyday:

See bad experiences and bad days as just ways of knowing that next time, you handle things differently. Don’t see it as just a bad experience but an opportunity to gain wisdom and insight from that experience. Let it be more of a lesson learned than just a bad day.

Be grateful for personality differences:

If you have a friend or a partner who do not think or act the way you do, might be a challenge for you. You are constantly nagging over personality differences and dwelling on the flaws of the other. You should be grateful for differences in personality differences because it keeps one learning and important to note that flaws are unique and worth loving.

Spot on the sweet spot:

Look for what keeps you affectionate. What time of the day are you most excited? Find your sweet spot! What keeps you patient and positive. The urge to look up to other things external that can motivate you to see or behave differently towards life. Go find it.

Cheers!
