Life is what we make of it. We are the architect of our own life. Our positive mental attitude can do wonders in bringing sea change in our life and enable us to lead a great and fulfilling life in this world. Optimism is an elixir. The more optimistic and positive we are, the more wonderful and satisfying life we are inclined to lead in this materialistic age. A pessimistic view towards life will only make our life miserable and painful. Therefore it is imperative for us to stay away from pessimism to avoid unnecessary troubles and worries in our day-to-day affairs.
A sincerity of purpose and purity of intention is also what helps us lead a great and fulfilling life. Our guiltless heart and clean conscience really give us great inspiration to have good and perfect life. A heart free of hatred, rancor, rifts, prejudice and ill-will towards others is indeed a great source of happiness and immense joy for us. Fortunate are those who refrain from hurting and persecuting others. They are source of uniting people. They do not severe the relations.
A religious-minded person may find himself at ease in his search for true happiness and fulfilling life. He seeks guidance from his religion to make things easy for him to enjoy good life. He knows that this world is short-lived. The worldly pleasures are fleeting and temporary. Therefore, He avoids being much involved in this world. He remembers his God day and night, and follows his commandments to live happily. He is not avaricious. He is well-contented with whatever little he gets.
Nature can also make our life great. Those who love natural beauty and can afford some time admire the beauty of nature are indeed very happy, for the artificial beauties of this world do last long. They perish soon. Nature can give us real inner happiness, which is indeed a true happiness.
A spirit of self-sacrifice and self-effacement can also bring us immense sense of happiness and fulfillment. A selfless service to our fellow-beings is really a true purpose of our life. I would consider myself lucky if am able to wipe out some tears from people in distress and troubles. True love and selfless service is what we need to bring great change in our society where we witness rat race among people to surpass and outdo others in their wild attempt to earn more and more money and get worldly benefits, irrespective of moral and ethical values.
