In work as in social life we find people who spend part of their time trying to reconcile life with their expectations, and often those expectations are based on a list of possible scenarios, for example, for 22 years should have my university degree . for the 25 should make an X amount of money, they say it is very difficult to get married when you are older, so I should get married before turning thirty, they are always evaluating what their lives should be like.
Measuring yourself in scenarios like the previous ones implies undue pressure on you, the more you have to be with what you live, the less happy you will be, until you realize how inappropriate these scenarios are, consider looking closely at what your objectives, we often form an image of how our lives should be when observing others and the consumption of what the media portrays us, that pressure is what leads you to focus so much on the material.
The ideals should be based on your character, values and interests, instead of the rules of society, marry, own a house, drive and have two is a stereotyped ideal that many still pursue, for example, if you are a person of spontaneous mind , that scenario would make you unhappy, the ideal life is a matter of interpretation, it is not unique to all, rather it is something that identifies you without undue influence.
The eternal values such as love, truth, peace of mind and control of your time form the basis of happiness, you just need a few simple things to make it pleasant, there will be some goals and objectives that are worth it, one must carefully select what they pursue, pay close attention to the things that really make you happy, the objectives must be pleasant, and not be reasons to be dissatisfied, they must be well thought out to give adventure and purpose to your life.
People spend a lot of time lamenting what is wrong or missing in their lives instead of rectifying it, spend time in despair instead of going out and doing what is necessary to get close to the situation you want, even if you identify with certain groups of people and friends It´s irrelevant who has more money or satisfaction since everyone has different circumstances and objectives.
