Do you, like many people, have the feeling that you’re stuck in a rut and going round in circles? Could changing your focus help?
We toil, we fight, we try everything we can think of to get to a more advanced state of happiness. Yet the harder we try, the more stuck we appear to become. Try this if your level of frustration is nearing a ‘Category Five’.
Instead of dwelling on the pleasant but irritated individual staring back at you in the mirror, consider helping out one of the other wonderful human beings who share this planet with you.
