"HAKUNA MATATA"

This is a human perspective of 'Hakuna Matata' which means No Worries. Of-course life is not a movie but we can take a leaf out of the storybook.

Optimism is being hopeful and gleeful. It is something that comes from within and generally because of positive thinking. It is true that our lives are deeply affected by all that we think and believe. For example, if we get up in the morning believing this is going to be a good day then we will surely have a nice day.

We often meet some 'morning people' who have a cheery attitude towards life. Their lives aren't exactly a bed of roses. They also come across unhappy situations and suffer like everyone else but they don't make themselves miserable by constantly thinking about them.

Letting our moods become influenced by external influences show weakness in our personality. Our emotions and moods at the very least should be in our control and we must free them from being affected by external influences if we want to lead a blessed life. However, that doesn't mean that we become so full of ourselves that we start getting on other's nerves.

Human beings are basically social beings and interacting with each other brings happiness. It is a strange fact that the things for which most of the people strive hard like happiness, freedom and peace are attained by giving them to other people. Sometimes living for others also makes a person truly happy. To be alive one has to feel things whether it's happiness or sorrow. It's not possible to have a perfectly happy life totally devoid of sufferings.

To appreciate happiness one must have a taste of sorrow and that is why happiness and sorrows balance each other out in life. Just like that a bright day cant be appreciated without a dark night similarly love and pain are inseparable from each other. This is exactly the point where  optimism comes in when things are not going well and you feel like life is pushing you down, start looking at the brighter sides of the things.

Joy comes from doing things you love. If you start a day with a desire to accomplish some goals and by the end of the day you haven't reached your target, look at what you have done.

Don't feel frustrated at the little things you haven't been able to do. Begin the next day in high spirits with no thoughts of previous failures.
