can any one tell me a way to find happiness in small things/achievements in life ???

Question

i am a enginner by qualification and i am not getting a feeling of satisfaction in whatever work or activity i am involved .... this dull feeling makes me frustatated at times and i fell very low on my part..

Answer 1

Figure out what makes you feel good and do it. You don't need to quit your job to be happy. You can still do things outside your job to make up for the blah feeling you get when you are at work. Don't waste your "mind time" thinking about how it sucks that you don't get a good feeling when you should, just move on to the next task then go home and do whatever it is that does makes you feel happy. YOU have to make YOU happy. But don't dwell on it, that makes it worse.

Answer 2

perhaps you need to think about what you really want from life and aim to achieve it. if your work is making you unhappy, then there are plenty steps you can take to get another qualification and lead a more fulfilling life. you might also want to talk to a doctor about your feelings, he might be able to give you some advice. I think you should read "the conquest of happiness" by Bertrand Russell. it helps people to find happiness in the little everyday things that might be taken for granted.

Answer 3

The Secret of Happiness is living in the present moment, in the reality of the here and now. Because in the here and now, you are in direct communication with God.

With other words, NOW is the place where you ARE happy. You do not think of the past nor wonder about the future. You are - Soul - a happy entity.

Children tend to live in the present moment and are happy. We can learn this happy state of being from them: Living step by step, in the present, and doing the best we can at the moment :)

I remember one day walking to my college and I saw an old man who was having trouble getting his bin into his yard I didn't quite know whether to help him or not but decided too, he explained to me he had had a stroke so it was a hard thing for him to get the bin in, out of everything I have ever done in life that was the best feeling of all, help other people out it really is worth it

Spiritually physically emotionally. Are you isolating your self.

There is so much to do for such a smart person,

Answer 6

one of the best ways to achieve happiness is to do something nice for someone else be it a stranger at first you may think they may not like me doing this for them, but if someone is really struggling and needs help just try it, you need to look outside your job to feel happy doing something for someone else or giving a small treat to someone really can work especially if you have not tried it before go on you may make new friends and gain self respect not only from yourself but others.

Answer 7

Wickedness, injustice, grief, pessimism, trouble, loneliness, fear, stress, frustration, distrust, unscrupulousness, anxiety, rage, jealousy, resentment, drug addiction, immorality, gambling, prostitution, hunger, poverty, social corruption, theft, war, struggle, violence, oppression, fear of death… News about these issues appear in the newspapers and on TV every day. The popular press devotes entire pages to these subjects, while others serialise articles about their psychological and social aspects. However, our acquaintance with these feelings is not limited solely to the press; in daily life, we, too, frequently come across such problems and, more importantly, personally experience them.
People and societies endeavour to liberate themselves from the distressing experiences, disorder and repressive social structures that have prevailed over the world for long periods. We only need to glance at ancient Greece; the Great Roman Empire; Tsarist Russia, or the so-called Age of Enlightenment, and even the 20th century-a century of misery which saw two world wars and world-wide social disasters. No matter upon which century or location you concentrate your research, the picture will not be appreciably different.
If this is the case, why haven't people succeeded in solving these problems, or at least some efforts been made to remove such social diseases from society?
People have encountered these problems in all ages, yet each time they have failed to find any solutions because the methods they employed were inappropriate. They sought various solutions, tried different political systems, laid down impracticable and totalitarian rules, stirred up revolutions or subscribed to perverted ideologies, while many others preferred to adopt an indifferent attitude and merely accepted the status quo.
In our day, people are almost numbed by this way of living. They readily believe these problems to be "facts of life." They picture a society immune to these problems as being nothing short of impossible-a dream utopia. They persistently and openly express their distaste for such a way of living, yet easily embrace it, since they think they have no other alternative.
The resolution of all these problematic issues is possible only by living by the principles of the "true religion." Only when the values of true religion prevail can a pleasant and tranquil scene replace this gloomy and unfavourable picture, which is doomed to continue so long as God's limits are ignored. To put it another way, people are enslaved by these complications as long as they avoid the values of the Qur'an. Put simply, this is the "nightmare of disbeliefe" and the link below for this wonderful book:

you will find how the regulation of life by the "norms of morality" introduced by the Qur'an revealed to mankind by God will banish the "nightmare of disbeliefe," how pessimism, corruption and social restlessness can be eliminated from society, how the individual can surround himself with an ideal environment, what spiritual and material benefits he is likely to attain by adherence to these norms of morality are gone into in detail, and finally, that the unique alternative to all these problems is the morality of the Qur'an.
So far, many books have attempted to deal with the social and psychological problems societies face. Yet, what distinguishes this book from others is its stress on the most realistic solution. It also sincerely warns people against the troublesome future they are likely to face if they fail to resort to this solution.
We expect that every reader of conscience will grasp that peace, mutual trust and an ideal social life is attainable only by embracing the values of the Qur'an and will turn to the true religion, which is Islam.
They will then happily join the ranks of those who never suffer, mentally or physically, from any of the above-mentioned complications. Around them, there will always be an abundance of favours, comfort, love, respect, peace and confidence, and moral virtues will prevail. They will know how to earn God's approval, by observing His limits and the commandments of the Qur'an. They will thus, by having faith in God, attain His mercy and at last enter Paradise.

Real happiness and peace can be ONLY found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Qur’an: (Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest.)
(Qur’an, 13:28)

On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Qur’an will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said:
(But whoever turns away from the Qur’an, he will have a hard life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment.) (Qur’an, 20:124)
This may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night. After he converted to Islam, he found true happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success.
