Why can I hardly ever realise how amazing my life is?

We often look up and not down. We look at people who are richer than us instead of looking at people who are starving or struggling. The grass is always greener because we never stop to count our blessings.

It's not your fault. It's difficult to keep a positive attitude when you're beset with problems. What you can do, though, is list down your blessings one by one. Don't miss a single thing out, including things like having a roof over your head, food on your plate, Internet, listeners on 7cups (hint hint).

Because we focus on negatives more than we do on positive things happening in life as well. I think sad and happy moments are the same but we enjoy happy moments than we do sad moments. So it seems like a never ending journey.

Sometimes we focus only on the negative aspects of our life and easily forget about all the wonderful things we've done or accomplished and why we did those things.

We all want to impress people. It's quite common. Most people do half the things they do because they want to attract someone's attention. Sometimes all the wanting people to like you and praise you doesn't work out and you just end up feeling crappy. And of course there's all the comparing people do to find out who's the 'best'. But you end up forgetting you are you, your own person. You are your personal brand. Nobody else is good at being you, except well, you. So forget about others. Think about yourself. It is only then you'll realise how awesome your life truly is.

We all fall into this trap as our lives are faster now and more stressful, one should "stop and smell the roses". Learn about mindfulness and meditation as they will reactivate your conscious about a lot of great things that you may have taken for granted and re-calibrate your senses :)

Sometimes, your view on life gets really disformed, and that can lead to you thinking that way. You can help yourself out by just being around optimistic people, in the first place :)

Often times we are blinded to how good our own lives actually are because we don't actively make the effort to see the good. Taking time during each day to list what you have done well and what you have. Simply taking five minutes a day to do this will help you see that amazing things you have in your life.

The world is a very distracting place. It is easy to become caught up in what is going on around us, to the point where we forget to look at and appreciate ourselves and how awesome we are.

You've probably not found your true life purpose and don't have a clue what you want from life or found anything that interests you, BUT that's okay! Nobody ever truly knows, so your not alone in this! I think you need to find something that makes you happy, it might take a while, but truly do something that gets you excited every day and slowly you will find purpose and happiness flowing into your life that makes your life amazing. Keep working on yourself. Hope I've helped you in some way!
