You dreamed of a house then you struggle working hard to earn money for building it. Then one day you were able to collect money to start the building of your dream house, you're happy for a bit but you're stressed because your money is running out and half of it wasn't even finish. The construction workers were also lazy and slow that's why you're stressed even more. After a year the house was finished, you're relieved a little bit. You invited your friends and relatives for a house blessing, you're so proud but suddenly one of your friends criticize it so you're un happy again, you're thinking about it for days so you change the part of the house that was criticized. You're a little relieved again then after a few months you found out that one of your neighbors was so noisy during midnight, you're unhappy again, you've got a problem a gain. You call the home owners association and complain about the situation, the neighbor toned down a little bit, you're a little bit satisfied then after a few weeks one of your neighbor is parking on your driveway, you're un happy again and wanted to explode. The lesson is this, nothing can make you happy forever, something will bother you because that is life, every problem is a part of your life. Just because you built something or accomplish something doesn't mean your life was already complete.
WHAT DRAINS YOU THE MOST
Thinking about what people say and feel, it's prioritizing others over you, it's believing them even if you don't want to believe them. If you always listen to critics, haters, fake gurus, life coach wannabe, comments, arguments of facebook then you will be drained, your energy will run out so fast. You need to focus on the inside and not on the outside. Listen to your heart, follow what your instincts is telling you, if your instincts is telling you to quit and just ho home like a chicken with no balls then that is not your instincts, that's your fear trying to elude you, stop getting fooled by comfort and security. You need to take risk and make yourself vulnerable to failure and disappointment. If you want to have more energy stop thinking about what people say, stop caring about how they feel towards you. If they hate you so be it, if they love you just be appreciative.
PRACTICE DETACHING FROM ANYTHING
Never let an accomplishment, appreciation from other people, things, money makes you happy. Never let anything affect you. It's ok to desire for something but just make it a game, just treat it like a challenge and never feel so bad if you lose. Never care if they don't like you because you can never please everyone. Some people will secretly hate you without you doing anything bad to them. At the end of the day the truth is your happiness will fade easily if you're dependent on things and people. You need to go within, practice being mindful and not materialistic. Stop trying to please everyone because not all people will like you. You are only setting yourself up for depression if you're trying to impress everyone. They don't care about you, they're not impressed, they will not remember all of your achievements because they're too busy minding everyone's lives.
