If Something Is Making You Unhappy, Why Is It Still In Your Life?

I have never understood people who are sad and miserable all the time. Everyone has stuff in their lives that is unpleasant or difficult. Why wallow in it? I suppose that being miserable makes them happy, in a perverted way. But, that is not for me. Is there something in your life that makes you miserable and unhappy? If so, why are you still doing it? Is someone else trying to tell you how you should behave or live your life? Why are you listening? Are you in a law job that you hate? Why are you still there? Are you in an abusive relationship? Why are you still there? Is there a toxic person in your life? Why are you still with them? One of the best things about being human is that, no matter your circumstance, you have the power to change it. 

Kahlil Gibran

“Vain are the beliefs and teachings that make man miserable, and false is the goodness that leads him into sorrow and despair, for it is man's purpose to be happy on this earth and lead the way to felicity and preach its gospel wherever he goes. He who does not see the kingdom of heaven in this life will never see it in the coming life. We came not into this life by exile, but we came as innocent creatures of God, to learn how to worship the holy and eternal spirit and seek the hidden secrets within ourselves from the beauty of life.”
