Obtaining happiness means sticking with a goal of letting negative thoughts dissipate and encouraging yourself to do positive things. It means letting go of old unrewarding habits and treating yourself with more respect regarding personal and family relationships. Maturity is a key factor as is the choice of company and what you are willing to contribute to a steady and harmonious relationship.
Elusive Contentment
Elusive happiness is there for the taking but has to be thought out on more than one occasion. One can be admiring of men and women who are alone and are involved in what they do best without feeling depressed, worrying about the future or being grumpy about what the world has in store for them. We can choose what mood to be in, it takes courage and training, learning to turn off old avenues of negative thought processes and turning on new conduits of being content with our lives and enjoying our surroundings to the fullest. Enough has been said of how to obtain some state of bliss, here are some thoughts as to why we get derailed along the way. Maybe that way we can stay on course for a more positive future.
When a person is loved he does not feel the gnawing sensation that life is empty and there is nothing to work for. Receiving love helps us feel valuable and that we have a good place among people. It makes life more rewarding and free of the lonesomeness and longing that accompanies constant solitude and alienation. The lack of love may begin in childhood and continue on into adulthood; when the child is exposed to hateful dialogues between parents he can carry them on into adulthood thinking that this is the normal way of discourse between adults. Children learn by imitation and so the quarreling they hear when little can become the bickering of adults.
A mother-in-law may cause her son’s children to go against the wife because she herself did not receive affection or was selfish about that as a child. A husband may impose his will on the wife while causing her distress at not being able to express her personality and that may cause her illness. Both these situations are examples where the lack of love in the environment is detrimental to a member of the family.
Sexual intimacy is part of the formula for loving a partner; physical demonstration of affection does not necessarily have to be sexual and that too is essential in keeping both partners satisfied. Some illnesses are caused by the distress of not getting this affection and once it returns their symptoms can disappear.
