Why are most people unhappy with their lives?

Happiness comes from embracing life with an open heart, accepting that everything won’t be perfect and trying the best.

Most of us relate our happiness to our idea of a perfect life. Until we achieve it, we remain unhappy. The truth is that everything won’t always be according to what you want, so waiting for perfection makes you miss out on the joys of life.

To be happy, appreciate what you have in life, value the presence of your loved ones, and cherish the simple moments of joy. Try your best if you wish for a certain kind of life, but settle for the best you think life has given you.
