End the Struggle: Embracing True Success and Happiness
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you feel endlessly tired of trying, yet still, you keep pushing forward? This is a common struggle for many, especially when external validation does not align with personal achievements. Here, we discuss some of the common struggles and how embracing true success and happiness can help you find fulfillment in life.
Tired of Trying: A Common Yet Challenging Experience
Your daily life could be a never-ending cycle of struggles, where the constant effort and hard work do not seem to bring the expected results. This frustration can be particularly pronounced when dealing with technical issues, whether it is a difficult software problem or a failed hardware replacement.
Problem: Laptop Repair Nightmare
Remember the time your laptop got 'bricked'? The sheer frustration of being unable to fix it on your own for three days straight, barely leaving your apartment, not even touching a sandwich for days? When a crucial part was lost in customs from Asia, and you had to call a hardware expert to talk you into getting a new laptop, it highlighted the complexity and unpredictability of even seemingly simple tools.
Struggles Beyond the Technicalities
Struggles extend beyond technical issues into more personal and societal domains, influencing how we perceive ourselves and our worth to others.
Tired of Motivating Others
How many times have you felt the pressure to give guidance and motivation to others? This was a journey I went through recently. When relatives ask you, jokingly or not, for advice on their children's future, the underlying message is often 'We know you can help us.' But the true impact of your advice can be profound, especially when you tell them that reading these books will turn their children into better, mentally healthier individuals.
Tired of Proving Your Worth
Ultimately, it boils down to the belief that mental labor is not considered real work. People often assume that anyone can sit at a desk and complete the tasks, making no distinction between different levels of responsibility and expertise. This misconception not only demeans the value of one's work but also discourages those who have spent years perfecting their skills.
Tired of Justifying Yourself
Choosing not to have children is another apparent obstacle many face. Marriage is frequently viewed as a platform to have kids, making it seem like a failed relationship if children are not produced within a set timeframe. The relentless questioning from your spouse's family can be emotionally draining, leaving you questioning if you are providing enough support or love.
Tired of Being a Followership Figure
Teaching for free can bring immense joy, but it also exposes you to the harsh reality that some may perceive such roles as a sign of one's inability to find more substantial work. The society often requires followers and has little tolerance for individuals who stand out and take their own paths.
Lesson: Embracing True Success and Joy
In conclusion, the journey of life is not about tiredly trying to fit into others' expectations but about embracing true success and finding joy in your work and life choices. True success is not just about material wealth or social recognition but about living a fulfilling and meaningful life. Start by valuing your unique path and the impact you have on those around you. In the end, the joy you bring and the knowledge you impart are more valuable than anything else.
