Have you ever seen a slum dweller or a street hawker?, cheering and smiling with heart as if he/she is the richest and happiest person of the world.
Similarly, have you ever seen an industrialist or a businessman? Being always sad and disappointed as if he/she is the poorest and most deprived person of the world.
As the matter of fact, happiness and sadness has nothing to do with the wealth or material development of someone.
I personally know many rich persons who always remain sad and worry, and I also know many poorest people living in hand to mouth conditions but still always keep smiling and always happy.
Here are top five reasons making most of the people worry. Also discussed the means to overcome these reasons and reducing the personal grievances.
Poor Faith and Lack of Trust on Lord
A person with true belief and strong faith on his/her creator can no way be sad and worry. That is the reason it is said that a true faith is the great blessing of the Lord.
A person with true faith knows that everything happens with the will of the Lord, and nothing can harm or benefit without the wish and will of his/her Lord.
He/she also strongly believes that he/she has no powers to change the destiny. His/her duty is just to work hard and pray from Lord. Now it is the will of the Lord whatever he feels better for him/her.
Therefore, it is the ultimate and easiest way to remain always happy that one should develop a strong belief and faith on his/her lord, irrespective of whatever religion he/she belongs to.
Be sure that your Lord is the owner of your life and death, the owner of your wealth and property, and the owner of your each and every thing.
So what makes you feel sad and unhappy? When you know that nothing is actually in your hand.
Strengthen your faith on your Lord and be always calm and happy.
Expectations from Others
Expectations from our friends and family is the other major reason making people worry and sad.
Remember that diversity is the beauty of nature. Every person in this world is different from the other. Therefore, no one can think as you think, no one can behave as you behave and no one can act you act.
We often expect that someone should think as we think, they should understand what actually we want them to understand.
But remember that this type of thinking and expectations are actually against the law of Nature.
Nature is that no one can exactly think and behave like you.
So make your expectations from others as low as possible, and it will give you relief from a lot of worries and so-called sufferings.
Lack of Gratitude
A person with grateful heart will never remain worry and sad.
He/she always be grateful for whatever he/she has and never complains of having nothing.
Gratitude is also actually a great blessing of the Lord.
Therefore, be always grateful for what ever you have and do not complain of what you do not have.
It never means that you stop working hard or be idle. Always keep on working for whatever you want to achieve in life, but never be crazy for this.
Remain cool, calm and patient, but never complain. Hope you will soon get what you want.
Competition with Others
People always competing with others will rarely be seen happy.
The sense of competition, whether it is the competition of wealth, the competition of health and beauty (mostly among women) or competition in any way will always keep you upset and worry.
A person with the sense of competition always thinks why he/she doesn't have something the others have. Why he/she is not able to do something others can do.
Remember that the sense of competition give birth to the sense of jealousy, and jealousy is actually the Sin and one of the disliking by the Lord.
So never compete yourself with others in any way. Remember that It is the rule of nature that no one can exactly be like you, and you can't be exactly as others.
Be proud of whatever abilities and blessings you have, and believe that you are the unique one in this universe.
It is said that people who look towards their downside always remain happy compared to the people who look towards their upside.
Time Wastage and Idleness
Remain idle and do nothing is the favorite hobby of many people in the world.
Remain idle and killing the time may give you temporary relief and happiness for the time being. But in the long run, it will make you worry and unhappy.
It is common observation that an idle person, whether he/she is rich or poor by birth, can never be happy and satisfied with his/her life.
Idleness creates negative thoughts, that is the reason it is said that an idle mind is the mind of the devil. An idle mind can rarely think positive.
An idle person if he/she is poor and lacking of financial and material resources and wealth can never be happy and satisfied.
Idleness kills your creativity and makes you dull and damped.
So always keep on working and never remain idle for long periods of time. It will make you feel happy and bring you out of sad feelings and worries.
A busy person does not have the time to be sad and unhappy. He/she has to do a lot of things yet. This situation keeps him/her out of sorrows and worries.
However, it never means you always keep on working and working and never take rest and remain workless for some moments.
Always keep a balance between the idleness and working. Never work too long, nor remain idle for too long.
This balance will definitely keep you happy and healthy and bring you out of the worries and sadness.
Last but not least always think positively, act positively and have firm belief on Lord who is the Master of your destiny and controller of your happiness and sorrows.
Stay blessed stay happy
