How to Live an Optimal Life

<p>Many people speak about their problems in life. This is one of the hottest topics of conversations. It doesn&rsquo;t matter where you meet someone; all it takes is a friendly smile to start pouring out your life&rsquo;s woes to them. Everyone does the same. The result is that no one knows how happy one is. Since everyone is talking about their miseries it does seem that no one around is leading an optimal life.</p><p>This is where the problem lies. We think that the term &lsquo;optimal life&rsquo; should have a definition. We believe that we should be able to peg down someone&rsquo;s life entirely and say &ldquo;Ah now his is an optimal life!&rdquo; But it doesn&rsquo;t happen that way. &nbsp;You might think that someone with a lot of money or someone with a beautiful wife must have an optimal life. But when you get to know them better you begin to see the problems that lie behind the exterior fa&ccedil;ade of theirs and you realize that their life is not what you thought it to be.</p><p>There&rsquo;s a great saying that &ldquo;If everyone were to throw their problems in a pile and see everyone else&rsquo;s they would grab their own right back&rdquo;. This is true. We think the neighbours are always happier than we are. We believe they are leading a more optimal life than we are. But if we were really to sit down and make comparisons quite likely we would find our problems to be the least.</p><p></p>
