I lеаrnеd tо bе hаррy by giving uр sеriоus gоаls in lifе

In my boyhood, I dreamt to be a scientist. That never happened. Later I wanted to study in a good university in USA. It did not happen either. I studied in Copenhagen business college instead. Generally speaking I am not very unsuccessful person. I migrated from Bangladesh to prosperous country like Denmark and have a loving family as well as a reasonable job. But I felt that something is missing. I could not become that what I wanted to be.. I wanted to have lucrative job in corporate sector but I ended up working in NGOs. That was bothering me. I set many goals in my life but seldom reached there. That was frustrating for me.

Then started regular working out in combination with Yoga. I sat cross-legged and concentrated my mind -I asked myself why I am unhappy. I went to flash back of my life. I realized that main reason why I am not that happy because I have failed to reach my goal. I stopped setting serious goal in my life. It helped, I am much happier now.

I have worked many years at UNHCR where I have counselled many people with different backgrounds. Many of them have shown gratefulness that my advices have helped them to see things differently and feel less burdened today because they do not target high and do not have a rigid goal. I felt my messages can help broader audience if I start writing.
