A short essay There are many ways to feel happiness and satisfaction in our life. But how can we manage it by ourselves? I think is is a very important question, and some people are searching for the answer during whole their life. And so do I. So which problems do we need to solve? First of all, it is understanding of our past. If we don’t know who you are, it means we cannot see the full perspective. We have to gather the full picture of our both strong and weak sides, life experience, health, and emotional conditions. And we have to ask ourselves: “Do we really need to change? What is the problem, and what is the expedient solution?” Sometimes all we need to do is to stop blame our parents, relatives, friends, etc, and take the responsibility for our own life. Our childhood negative experience should be remained in our past, not the present. We, grown-ups, have had opportunities to separate things we can change from that we better should leave. Self-pity hardly can help us I suppose. When we know who we are, we can decide which parts of our life we need to change, and what are the goals we should achieve. And there is the next complicacy. We often think we will be happy then we will achieve our goals. But the truth is that the process of moving is the only thing that’s matter. We strain after our goals, but what we really feel then we have achieved them? Did we move just to stop short of moving? I doubt so. So we need feelings of optimism, satisfaction, and fullness of life imbued our work. We need to be honest (and kind too) to ourselves, and then decide what to do and where to go. Then — start doing it!
