“Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”
Abraham Lincoln
Living a happier life often seems to be about living your big dreams and putting in a lot of work over a long time. Practical people somehow always manage to make things work for them or for the good of the group. Level-headed and sensible, they can keep it together even when everything else around them is drastically falling apart.
Being practical means being ready to deal with a particular situation exactly as it is, not whining for better circumstances or going on about not having enough resources to solve the problem at hand.
Being practical in life is a valuable trait to possess, as the real world never tires of throwing curve balls from time to time and seeing whether you’re skilled enough to deal with the difficulties that unexpectedly come your way. 1. Be Contented And Embody Acceptance.
Be contented with the tools you are given to deal with a difficulty, accept the failures and challenges the situation presents, and make the best of what you have to resolve the difficulty you are in. 2. Be Responsible.
After accepting of a situation, accept the responsibility attach on it. Being responsible means taking charge of a situation and doing what you can do to manage things better and solve problems. This doesn’t mean that you should always take all the aspects of the problem-solving process, exhausting your resources to come up with the best possible plan of action and solution to a particular problem. 3. Be Conscious Of Your Options.
For every problem you encounter, determine the different ways of action available to you, and consider each of their pros and cons. Think of alternatives to traditional solutions that may be better fit the situation you are dealing with right now. Take into account all possibilities before deciding on a final solution or strategy
