Chapter 1: The Weight of Exhaustion

"I feel utterly drained! It seems like nothing goes right, and everything feels off. Why does bad luck follow me? I put in effort, yet the outcomes are disheartening. Work is all about demands, and home life brings constant obligations that only add to my frustration. I yearn for peace and often fantasize about curling up under a blanket to escape it all." — These sentiments arise when joy is scarce in our lives.

When joy is limited, irritation and frustration accumulate. But who do we direct this anger toward? Ourselves, our loved ones, fate, or the world at large? This pent-up frustration often manifests as "righteous" indignation.

Typically, the nearest person becomes the target of this outburst. I struggle to contain my feelings, leading to regret afterward. Yet, once spoken, words cannot be taken back, leaving my soul in anguish.

This cycle breeds more disputes and resentments at home. Soon, guilt sets in for not being able to manage my emotions better. It feels as if holding in my feelings is impossible; if I don't express them, I fear they will explode.

Finding a way to cope remains elusive. I long for a home free from arguments, seeking tranquility and wishing to avoid snapping at my loved ones again.

Often, we search for external reasons for our emotional state. A demanding job, a crowded bus, a reckless driver, or a disappointing report card for a child seem to trigger our breakdowns. If only these stressors could be eliminated, we believe, everything would improve.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. The source of our feelings lies not in external circumstances but within ourselves. As challenging as it may be, changing our internal landscape is often more manageable than attempting to alter the broader world.

To find solace, we need to reassess our beliefs—our views on how life ought to be. By convincing ourselves that things should be a certain way, we limit our perspective.

Why must life conform to these expectations? Often, it’s merely a habit of thought. The reality is that the world is diverse, and so are we, meaning there are countless perspectives.

Each individual can adopt a mindset that fosters joy, peace, and fulfillment—dreams that are very much attainable. To achieve this, we must stop trying to fit the entire world into the narrow confines of the belief: "I know exactly how it should be." The alternative is for each person to determine their path toward comfort in life, fostering connections with loved ones without anger or blame.
