Don't Take Yourself So Serious

It is a known fact that we need to have fun in our life. Too often we take ourselves so seriously that we get depressed and sad. Life is supposed to be enjoyable and exciting. The truth is that you only get one life to live. If you make it not only enjoyable but also exciting, you will be able to look back and smile from your old age.


Too many people try to make their life boring and dull by living in a house, wearing the same clothes, doing the same work every day and eating the same food. All these things can make your life drab. You need to go out and meet new people and have some fun. The life of a monk has its advantages and you should never think of stopping the fun simply because you have to get into a house.

If you think of yourself as a worthy person, you would be happy and smile from ear to ear. If you are serious about your job or business, people will think you are trying very hard to achieve something. Even then, you should not let people know about it. Only when you are confident and sure about yourself can people begin to realize your intelligence. Only then can you proceed with some serious thinking.

If you don't take yourself so seriously, you will become irritable and impatient. This irritability and impatience will lead you to make wrong decisions. For example, you won't want to invest in an expensive car because you think it won't perform well. But if you don't take yourself so seriously, you might end up buying an inferior car and it may never perform well either.

When you are serious about your business, career, school or other pursuits, you will become more productive. Your creativity will increase and you will be able to solve problems and think of new ways of doing things. Most people today make the mistake of not being serious at all. They become so busy with their jobs, making money and enjoying their leisure time that they forget to make their lives complete.

Some people have a very hard time making and keeping friends. They are too self-critical, and they don't accept criticisms. So they try to avoid making new friends. They try to stay away from the world because they feel nobody will like them. When it is difficult to make friends, they withdraw into themselves and they don't interact with other people.

Some people don't take themselves so seriously and they live for themselves. If there is one thing you should learn from your lousy life, it's that life has a lot to give. It doesn't matter what kind of person you are, you can make a difference in the world if you put your effort into it.

People always tell you to have goals and to be more motivated. But if you want to have more friends, you need to take real actions towards that goal. You can have all the friends in the world but if you don't treat them well or have strong feelings for them, it won't matter. So don't take yourself so seriously. Be happy and have a good life. And the best way to do that is by finding new friends and sharing new experiences with them.

Sometimes people act the way they are because they think other people will like them that way. If you are not confident in yourself, other people probably will not like you either. So when you get mad at someone for whatever reason, you are indirectly saying, "You are not confident in yourself, so I'm going to take advantage of that." Then, that will just create even more problems between you.

People who have big goals that seem impossible to reach often act as if they are the only ones who can achieve it. They think they are better than everybody else and they take everything in stride. But the truth is, nobody is perfect and everybody would like to be loved more. Have confidence in yourself and then everybody else will know and treat you better. Don't be afraid to have some fun and try out for something new.


So, don't take yourself so serious. If you think you can do anything in life, go for it, but be realistic. It will be good for you and your life, but also for your personality. Don't act like everything's going to be perfect. Life is a series of successes and failures, and if you learn from them, you will grow and become a better person.
