Finding happiness in small moments is something that must be cultivated.

Life is difficult because that is what we know and think. We frequently ponder the rationale for our existence, which remains a mystery to us. We are so preoccupied with fame, fortune, and money that we lose sight of the more fundamental aspects of life. There was a time, not so long ago when ordinary people like you and me were content with whatever we had. They didn't care if they were living in luxury or great poverty; they just walked around with a smile and didn't want too many things in their pockets. We change with the times. Our necessities are increasing, our bank accounts are bulging, and our contentment is dwindling by the hour. "We have only one life, try to live it to the full" Stop worrying about everything and start enjoying every single moment of your life. Enjoy the giggle of a small youngster who has fallen on the street. Enjoy the sensation of eating delicious cuisine. Find joy in the feeling you receive when you sit down and put your feet up after a long day of work. Find satisfaction in the love and freedom you see on your partner's face at the end of the day, as if they didn't see you years ago. Find joy when you see loved ones after a long time apart and share recollections. Find happiness in the happiness, beauty, and love of others. Find joy in all that pleasant gossip. Discover the thrill of a pleasant smile from a stranger passing by. Find joy in simply being on time and doing nothing. Life is made up of all of these small, pleasurable moments. It's not difficult. It's straightforward. It's delectable. It's an honor. You will never be sad again if you keep this in mind and heart. Who can say? Something lovely may be waiting for you around the corner!    “Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.” — Frank A. Clark

Logic vs. Emotions: Understanding the Intricate Balance in Decision-Making

Decisions are driven by two opposing cognitive processes: logic and emotions. Although the two can sometimes be confused, determining whether your decisions are driven by logic or emotions is a key element of ensuring that you're making the greatest options for your long-term happiness. Most decisions are influenced by emotions, despite the fact that most people believe they approach decision-making through rationality. Emotions are really powerful. However, logic - the ability to make judgments based on solid and rational thought processes - may be lacking in your life. Both Decision-Making Tools Have Flaws Both of these decision-making techniques have advantages and disadvantages. Logic is, by definition, a method of decision-making that employs sound and rational reasoning to get the optimal result. Emotions, on the other hand, are genuine emotions. If logic is the brain, emotion is the heart, then happiness is found in the heart. But what about their shortcomings? Both decision-making tools have flaws. Some of these problems are discussed more below. Logic:  Requires Emotion - Logic cannot always be accomplished without emotion, especially when making life-changing decisions. After all, relationships, careers, and other key decisions are not typically made on paper. For example, a partner may appear attractive on paper, but they do not elicit sentiments of love and enthusiasm. If this is the case, they may not be the best partner for you. Energy is required - Logic is not always an easy procedure. A rational conclusion may need more mental and physical energy than available time and attention. It can be difficult to reach a logical conclusion fast, for example. Emotions:  They Can Lie - What you are feeling may not be what is best for you or what your heart truly desires. Many former partners, for example, miss their connection after they break up. Some may even give in and reconcile. However, this is a mistake because missing someone (an emotion) is typical after any relationship simply because a part of your life has changed. Could Be Irrational - Emotions are not regulated by reasoning by default. As a result, given the circumstances, you may have utterly unreasonable feelings. Anxiety and depression are extreme manifestations of this condition. In addition, emotions can change the way you think and control behavior, which may mean that your “logic” may be affected by emotions. This happens often to those struggling with mental health conditions, like depression and anxiety, where their emotions make them think in illogical ways. Which is superior? In many respects, rationality outperforms emotion. The more critically and objectively you can think about a decision before making it, the more likely it will be the right decision for you. The fewer impulsive or irrational decisions you should make, the less you should be influenced solely by emotion and instinct. However, you should not be emotionless. Emotional factors continue to influence decision-making, including logical decision-making. Love and accept your feelings, but also have a strong sense of reasoning.
