Human emotions change from moment to moment. Primarily, emotions are influenced by the external environment. The external stimuli affect our lives to a great extent. For instance, you are very happy, everything seems perfect. The very next moment you get a test back and scoreless. All your happiness, light mood comes falling down. You feel annoyed, depressed and to a great extent dejected. You succumb to this state of life and now nothing seems perfect.
Adolescence is an age that is easily prejudiced and can be shaped in whatever manner. Either you control your own life or let it be controlled. A phase where opinions, likes, dislikes and priorities change time to time. Mood swings, tears, sleepless nights become so common. Disputes with parents, endless issues with girlfriends/boyfriends. There is no end to it.
Today’s youth wants a good GPA score, a lucrative job and a good marriage. No doubt all of these are very much the necessity of our life. Social obligations, we got tied to the moment we were born. But has ever anyone given a thought that we are humans, the purpose of our lives is to be happy and not to chase things that might or might not give us the happiness we deserve.
The center of our lives should be us. But what happens is, we tend to seek happiness from people, or materialistic things. We do not realize the happiness we seek is all inherent in us. A life state, we are not ready to realize.
We do not see the inherent potential we possess. Instead we let people close to us, our friends and family draw lines for our growth.
To add to these problems, often youth indulge themselves in doping, alcohol, weed and all sort of immoral activities. The question to be asked here is. Any of this is creating value in anyone’s life? Is it the true way to be happy?
One doesn’t need to be a rocket scientist to be happy or enjoy their lives to the fullest. “Happiness manifests itself from within and then from without.” If we ourselves aren’t happy in our own way no matter how hard we may try to make others happy it will all be in vain.
Create a self that is indomitable, that is least moved by the external environment. A state of life that isn’t affected by what people say or think. You weren’t born in this world to pay heed to what people might think or might say. To be born as a human being is a great virtue that one possesses.
Complaining, begrudging our lives will never do us any good. Blaming others for the obstacles we may encounter in our lives is an escapist attitude. Never lose sight of this fact that whatever good or bad you face in your lives is the manifestation of your inner self.
The way the people treat you, the things people say is nothing but the reflection of your own life. In simple words, if you put up a deformed image in front of a mirror it will show you a deformed image. But when you but a bright and a beautiful image the same is reflected back. We are human beings never lose sight of this fact. Respect human values, human emotions.
No one will ever remember of what you achieved professionally or in any other sphere. But what kind of a human being you are.
PROMOTE HUMANISM, HUMANISTIC VALUES. NOT COMPETITION OR BECOME A PART OF THE SENSELESS RAT RACE.
yeah you are absolutely right. today's adolescents have so many distraction but have so many ways to have awareness also, and i feel everything done in balance is the most healthy.so be happy and worry not as everything which happens in life give us valuable experience.
