We often see individuals in their younger years having a positive mind, hopeful outlook, and sympathetic feelings. However, as the years go by, those positive virtues can sometimes be gradually replaced by tendencies to being negative, miserable and grumpy. Opportunely, there are ways that can help one to avoid the possibility of becoming a grumpy old man, and to maintain positive outlook on life.
The first way is not to get stuck in our usual practises. When we are in that kind of situation, our life seems boring and dispirited. We should not always complain about things that we find annoying or the things we don’t have control of. If we do, we will invariably make ourselves miserable. What we should do is to change our mental attitude and build a sense of disinterest in our daily routine. We should not allow our life to be dominated by complaints.
One should also have a perspective of a young child. A child sees the world as a place of wonder and simplicity. Life is something to love and it is not complicated. A child just enjoys life and plays and makes use of his time by not criticising others. We must leave criticism to other people. Grumpiness and criticism are intricately related. Gossiping and criticising about others will create negative outlook. If we want to have real happiness, we must possess positive attitude. Instead of thinking of the things we cannot do, we should try to begin new initiatives and activities like playing dart with friends.
