Success Happy

How to cope with feelings like my life isn't good enough?

I'm in a serious trouble. For a few days, I am only getting thoughts like my life isn't good enough compared to others. I just feel as if i have to very rich and famous in order to be successful in life. I am filled with thoughts of dejection and sadness. I only feel as if celebrities' lives are the best ones and others have no place in this world. and this feeling is eating away my self-esteem and my urge to do something new. I have lost the vigour of life. How do i cope with such a feeling?

1. so decide and plan to make your life good enough
2. try reading the Sutras. meditate on a sound .. or silence.. do some breathing exercises.. yoga. find peace and contentment within. ask yourself what contentment means for you.. plan it .. and execute it. give yourself time .. be patient .. and persevere.
3. Shreyasi, are you going through serious changes in your life lately? It looks like your self esteem is very low, you if you lack self esteem or self-confidence you must look above for the reasons. Often we make ourselves unhappy because we go over and over mistakes we have made. But we can improve our self-esteem if we re-think the things we believe we have done wrong or badly. You may be overly criticizing yourself or telling yourself negative things like "I'm bound to fail" or "I'm not good enough" or even "I don't deserve to succeed". These will make failure likely. Low self esteem stops all your efforts to be confident. Do you believe in yourself? Try to give credit that you deserve for yourself. Learn to re;ax and smile..
