Happiness is overrated- A reality check you might need to hear today
Happiness is overrated. As we stir upon the journey of life, the moments we experience exasperate to become the existence we dwell in. The story we tell our minds about the idealistic quality of our lives, whether we have achieved it or not, is the narrative that we hold for ourselves. Perception creates reality; quite arguably, the judgement of the worth we hold for ourselves is the reality we manifest. The worth that forges its being from the outside often stalls and cripples us into the notion of self-doubt. We are so rooted in being validated by the world that our happiness fosters a tendency to become like a ball bouncing from one side to another. When it hits the appreciation of others, our joy soars high, and when it is pushed away with criticism, it is nothing but a lie.

Self-doubt: the plunderer of dreams in the womb of young souls
How often do you hear the phrase self-doubt has killed more dreams than failure ever will? Our worth is often determined by the external factors that surround us. We are all conditioned to follow societal norms and adhere to the timeline that society wants us to follow.

Illusion
We are living in a time of pretended freedom where we all think we have a free will but at the same time everyone keeps telling us how to live. Always start with a question “why”? Why we are surrounded by people who are telling us how to live? Why we have thousands of coaches, personal trainers, motivational speakers, mentors and enlightened influencers on social media who influence our decisions and have a huge impact on our life and feelings. Why we stopped to make own decisions and we do not want to make our own mistakes and learn from them? Why it is so easy for us to believe that someone we see on internet know better, experienced more and is a right person to advise us how to live? Why these days we are more likely to ignore, accuse and disrespect the closest one and at the same time admire, idealize and trust stranger from internet? What happened with humanity? What happened with us? Why we lost our values?
