It is certain in our life we all feel sad at one time or another. More than knowing the reason for sadness, being aware of the root is important. This knowledge will help us stay happy always.
To feel sad is not wrong. It is simply a human emotion.
But being in the same state of sadness is damaging to your mental health. Agree? Read on.
Sadness shows its ugly face when there exists a feeling of any desire stuck in your heart. This desire can be anything as small as appreciation or as large as fulfillment of life goals. When we start to year for something we start loosing our calmness and inner peace. We subconsciously start to weigh our happiness down with that desire.
What to do?
Pull out the desire and throw it away. That does not mean one should not be ambitious. All one has to do is not link outcome with anything. One should just do their best & leave it up to the Almighty. If one deserves one shall receive. Even if it is not received, be sure there is something in the process for you. Believe in it.
As it is also said in Mahabharata,
