Will you be happy if you have a new Nike T-shirt on Probably you will.But what if you see a friend wearing a more fashionable and more beautiful one You may not be so satisfied as you expect and feeling of happiness may disappear in a minute.
Why are we not so happy as we should be The secret is :we focus on what we want instead of what we have.We keep making our list of desire longer and longer.As a result ,we are not pleased with what we have already owned.We say to ourselves,"I'll be happy when this desire is satisfied." However ,another desire appears when this one is met.So,we still don't feel happy though we have got what we want.Happiness can't be found when we always have new desire hard to satisfy.
Luckily ,there is a way to be happy.Think more about what we have than what we want.Rather than wish you were able to have an enjoyable vacation on the beach ,think of what you fun you have had at home.Similarly ,instead of hating to do much homework,than teachers for making you have the chance to practice more.The list of what you have can also be endless.Each time you find yourself falling into"I wish life were different" trap,take a deep breath and think of everything you have ever had.
Pay more attention to what you have and you 'll probably get more of what you want.For example ,your good attitude toward doing homework can bring excellent grades in exams because practice makes perfact.
Start to focus on what we have !The more we feel satisfied,the more happily we'll live.
