Happiness

Do you live in a big city, feeling overwhelmed by its vastness and your limited resources? Many of us dream of a well-deserved vacation, seeking the sun or snow to unwind. We work hard throughout the year, enduring both physical and mental strains because we need our income. Physical aches and mental struggles are common, but we push through because our livelihoods depend on it.

Navigating Conflicts and Misunderstandings

Unfortunately, misunderstandings are part of life. We face conflicts with people who may not like us or those who always feel the need to know better. Often, these individuals are in higher positions and struggle with their managerial roles. They bring personal struggles from home to work, affecting their interactions. Untrained to handle such situations, they spend their lives striving for recognition.

The Role of Power and Flexibility in Our Lives

Power is essential for many to maintain self-esteem in today's complex world. Flexibility is a demanded quality, but is it natural for us? Some excel in one area, while others thrive by adapting to various tasks. Despite our differences, life demands adaptation, leading to emotional overwhelm, especially for flexible individuals.

Understanding Situational Leadership and Personal Behavior

Paul Hersey and Kenneth Blanchard’s Situational Leadership model and Timothy Leary’s Rose of Leary have significantly influenced how we interact with others. Despite their achievements, many struggle with understanding their true selves. Have you perfectly adapted to others for years, making everyone happy but yourself? The book "Traumasporen" by Bessel van der Kolk reveals the deep impact of trauma on our lives.

The Hidden Impact of Trauma

Experiences from childhood or adolescence, thought to be long processed, often linger in our bodies and minds. Consider the things you avoid, people you shun, or foods you dislike. Reactions you can’t explain might be rooted in past traumas, deeply engraved in your brain. We often overestimate our control over nature and life, ignoring our own needs and well-being.

Learning to Govern Ourselves

Humans, unique in our ability to think about thoughts, often ignore nature’s lessons. Animals adapt, avoid unnecessary conflicts, and maintain natural balance. Stress and trauma in animals are minimal, except when influenced by human actions. Humans, however, struggle with thoughts and self-governance, leading to unnecessary stress.

Rediscovering Yourself for a Happier Life

Do you want to be yourself again? Understanding who you are, recognizing potential traumas, and accepting your life can lead to genuine happiness. Surround yourself with soulmates, stop trying to convince others, and seek help if needed. Embrace life as it is meant for you, and learn from animals—they set a great example for us! I'd love to hear what you think about this and what really makes you happy.

Sindhu Gopalkrishnan
I love writing as I get to create something beautiful and touch others with my words in the process. I love the fact that I can create a whole new world, something no one else has ever seen. Writing helps me to escape reality and create new realities. At times, I also write stuff in those stories that I can never muster the courage to say in real life. It's my safe space. I can write whatever I am feeling and I can let it all out. It's also very therapeutic to me..
