What does it mean to have a wonderful life? What does it mean to consider our living a better one? When do we consider ourselves successful individuals?
You see, when we were asked these questions we would think of material things in life.
We can say that we have a wonderful life if we have an enormous house with a fancy design. We can say that we have a better life if we already have a high-end vehicle. We can say that our life is on the summit if we can buy the things that we want in life. We can eat whatever food we crave, or even travel to different countries even with everyday money.
We can even call ourselves successful individuals if we have all the money to satisfy whatever things we wanted in the world that society sees as one of the things that successful people have.
But, what if I tell you that having a wonderful life is not about having all the things mentioned above? What if I tell you that to have a better life we don't need to own everything that the society's standards are listing here and there? Would you believe in me?
Here's a Catch:
The society that we're living already builds standards that we can have as a guide on what's the status of our living. Just like if you have a luxury car and a big house, you already have a better life knowing that your way of living is different from others, and so on. Needless to say, these standards would somehow leave us hopeless especially when we try to reflect on our status in life and the life of others who are better than us. We tend to feel down as we compare our life to others. We tend to feel disappointed in ourselves and we get pressured a lot as we can't walk on the path smoothly toward a wonderful life based on society's standards.
Howbeit, we must also instill in our minds that having a wonderful life is not about society's standards or even having the fancy things in life. Life is all about mindset.
It's always an astounding feeling to have people in our lives that will support us endlessly, just like the people above; well-appreciated.
The Right Mindset
The life that we're living is so hard to understand. And as society's standards are being added, life tends to be more complicated. We feel pressured, we lose the passion, and we feel down, and name a few. A lot of factors are affecting our way of thinking. A lot of things are going on that we feel so inferior.
But then, we should remind ourselves that life is all about mindset. Having the right mindset would lead us to a better path; a path toward the life we always long for. A life where we can see life in a vivid and a positive view.
Now, what is a mindset?
Mindset is a series of beliefs that each people holds on to themselves. These beliefs will help one to make sense of the world and themselves.
It's important to have the right mindset in life. A mindset that would help us live a life where hope is there. A mindset that even if our way of life is just right to others, we still find it as a wonderful one as what we think of our current situation is already a better one. A mindset that will help us embrace the life that we have and a mindset where we can make the best out of it without looking after the standards in the society. Not to mention, we should also have a growth mindset. A mindset where we can see challenges and setbacks in life as an opportunity to grow, not an experience that will make us feel down.
How to have the right mindset in life?
1. Don't rely on the society's standards, believe in what you think is better in your life.
2. See things in life as an opportunity to grow, not a bump that will only make us down.
3. Never compare your life to others.
4. Stop seeking other people's approval.
5. Celebrate even the little things in your life.
Above all, there are no other people to be blamed for our way of living these days and how it has been, it's us all along.
Closing Thoughts
You see, wonderful life is not all about the material things that the society already crafted, it's all about mindset. If you have the right mindset in life, things may still be tough, but you will get through them with the help of the right mindset that you have. Stay positive and have the right mindset; a growth mindset.

and I always say, the best things in life aren't things :)
Aweee, indeed my friend Bloghound. May we all instill in our minds the importance of it.
Amen to that, Felize :)
I personally think that wonderful life means getting satisfied with what we want. And in my opinion material things is not enough to make us satisfy and happy. I am totally agree with you in this case.
Aweee, hope we find satisfaction in our lives so that we will with a peaceful heart.

What an enjoyable read, @leticiafelize.
Where I'm from, a lot of what you describe is what we call, keeping up with the Jones' and it is about who has the most of everything, and the best of everything. It's materialistic and demanding!
Having a wonderful life, as your blog illustrates, isn't about that at all. It's about being true to yourself and celebrating your own forms of success.
I was brought to your post from DreemPort
Aweee, indeed my friend Julia. Sometimes, we're blinded by the material things because that's what people label as successful people. Little-did-we-know, wonderful life is not based on that.
Anyway, thankss for the visit my friend Julia. All thanks to Dreemport.
This is a great reminder to us all. We can easily be affected by what we see in social media, what we see in others, their success and achievements that it's becoming a competition. It shouldn't be. We have to realize and accept that we are not the same.
Well said my friend Lee. That's the problem with the society we have the right now. What's more alarming is thay, we tend to compare our life then to the life of others which affects our well-being. With that, we should be reminded by these thoughts.
True. No wonder we are doomed.
I have had many material success in my life, often fleeting and fun, but those times usually brought much unhappiness as well. Never satisfied. Usually bored and looking for something external to fill what was missing inside of me.
