Life is never easy to live. There are better parts and there are worse ones as well. Without those worse ones you would not enjoy those better ones enough. Only good life is boring.
It is easy to blame someone other than yourself. But in the end, your life is only yours and depends only on you how you live it. It took me quite a lot of years to realize this simple truth: only you can live your own life. And in the end its only up to you how you live it.
Few posts ago I wrote that I actually managed to change my life. But it took me another 7 months to get to terms with that. Change of your occupation is the easy part. I realized just today, that I have enough things. My earnings did increase with job change. I bought a few and realized, that its not bad to have all that but my life is not better or happier WITH all of that.
Everyone have that threshold somewhere else. But it takes time to realize that more things does not make you more happy. Most people always need more. The next thing I buy will make me happy. At least for a few moments. But real win is realizing that "I don't need more now, I'm content with what I already have."
I'm not saying that you need to live ascetic life, but minimalist lifestyle actually helps a lot.
Try to pause your life for a second and try to think about all the time you spend getting paid only to give most of your income to state in the form of taxes and spending most of what is left on just things.
Does that make you happier? And for how long?
