Why Am I Unhappy? 5 More Reasons That Make Your Life Suck (Part 2)

In part two of this article, we continue with the question most adults ask and it’s “Why Am I Unhappy”? Well, I’ve compiled 5 more reasons which I’m going to cover in the last of this 2 part article series. 

Remember Nicole? Nicole is sad and unhappy with the life she’s living. Below you'll discover the remaining 5 reasons why poor Nicole is so unhappy. You may see glimpses of yourself and how you’ve been absolutely successful in making your life suck!

Reason #6: Not Being Focused

In today’s super-hyped, noisy world, there are so many things clamoring for our attention. Lack of focus causes you to become confused. I like to refer to it as B.S.O. (bright shiny object) syndrome. This is because a confused mind always say no! And when you are confused, you lack focus which may contribute to your unhappiness.

Reason #7: Taking Things Personally

Nicole takes everything personally. This is a major cause of her unhappiness. Everyone’s problems become her problems. She feels that when someone has a problem, that it’s her problem, and as you guessed it, the unhappiness train speeds on to SadTown. 

Reason #8: Not Seeing The World As It Is

Our friend Nicole sees the world as an unfriendly place. She doesn’t realize that she really sees the world as SHE is, and not as the world REALLY is. It’s all a matter of perspective. If she could just shift her perspective, she would see that if she changes the way she looks at the world, the world she looks at changes.

Reason #9: Depending On Others For Your Happiness

Most women, not all, tend to look to others to supply their dose of happiness. They look to family, friends, boyfriends, husbands, children and other people to make them happy. While it’s nice to have the love and support of people who contribute to your happiness, you have to ultimately be responsible for your own happiness. Start imagining your possibilities and look within to make yourself happy.

Reason #10: Being a Conformist

Earl Nightingale, who is considered the founder of the personal growth industry stated that the problem with most people today is – they conform. They want to be like everybody else. He says we don’t think for ourselves. And Nicole fits this mold. She tries not to rock the boat.  She wants to be like everyone else. No wonder she is unhappy. Everyone is unique and it’s when we try to hide the very traits that make us unique we become unhappy. 

So there you have it – the last 5 reasons that can cause you unhappiness. Perhaps you saw a piece of yourself in Nicole. When you take life so seriously, it can make you miserable. By embracing one of the natural laws of the universe – the law of polarity, which states that everything has an opposite action, all that you need to do is reverse the last five reasons and start creating the life you deserve.
