I think sometimes it's hard for me to enjoy simple things which bring me happiness. I tend to have more desires for the next time after I have achieved something. I find myself never satisfied. I know it's bad but it's out of my control. I always put high expectations on things. I always force my boyfriend to work hard to build a good and stable future. Now he is slowly building up his career but I am still not satisfied and I think that he can do even better than this. It seems like I never enjoy simple things. Sigh. I just cannot help myself. Please give me some advices. How about you? Do you enjoy simple things? Please share,thanks.

SIMPLE LIVING AND HIGH THINKING had to be the motto,I love to live.Living with simple, common life is not at all bad it make you feel more and more of the luxury,that's what leaves one behind.Living without simplicity actually makes a person get nothing in life, fame comes and goes but ideologies through simple living become part of the life.

I used to be like you are yenwie. I always wanted to achieve
a better position in life, make more money, be with someone
who had the best job, was the most stable. Well, things just
didn't exactly work out the way I wanted it to. Life doesn't
always go as we plan. I have learned many things in my life.
I have learned to accept what challenges have been put before
me or roadblocks as I should say. As we get older we tend to
understand that things just happen and sometimes you need to
find a way to be happy with what you have. So, yes I do
enjoy the simple things. I no longer have the expectations
that I did when I was young. I have accepted the curves that
life has thrown me and I am making the most out of what I
have. You would be surprised to stop and just look around
you at the things that are right in front of you-that is
enough to make you happy, at least it is for me!
