Being happy in the odds of life is quite a challenging task. You might need a lot of strength to stay smiling in a disastrous situation. Odds are not permanent fixtures of life. They come and go. It is the perspective someone holds while facing a difficult situation in life.
How can you get this happiness when nothing is correct in the surrounding environment? Well, there is only one thing you can do. You have to look inside yourself. You have to feel from heart. You have to understand the situation on how, when, where things happened.
Invading your inner conscience is always helpful to help you understand the nuance of a situation. There are a number of complexities prevailing in the feelings which need to be understood. Not many people think about taking this step. It’s not that they don’t have time; they are not at all interested. Many people only believe in following a routine. For them mornings, days and evenings are the same. Spending time with family, busy office schedules during weekdays and year-end celebrations- these are part of life for them and they don’t think about detaching themselves.
However, there are people who are always looking for happiness even in the slightest bad phase of life. They believe bad things can enter the body and soul at any time without warning. The decision to stay firm and enjoy the changing scenario is what is called contented happiness. You know things are very bad but you find a solution so that negativity doesn’t enter the mind.
If you are finding it difficult to deal with odd situations of life, why not observe nature? Nature is a powerhouse of a variety of fauna and flora. The movement of birds, animals, insects, water and flowers give a lot of satisfaction. If you are able to share your negative thoughts with them, you feel a great relief afterwards.
Happiness is derived by overcoming the shortcomings of life. You need to motivate yourself. There are plenty of resources present around to shrug off negative feelings. Parents are always there. However, sharing feelings with close friends could allow venting out negativity.
Why not get to the root cause of suffering? If you are able to understand things, you can get a lot of relief. It is also possible to look into the best things in life. Where optimism knocks the door, make sure you take the right step to remove pessimism in life.

Is money an effective tool of motivation?

Perks and allowances are excellent supplements to support life-style.
However, some don’t consider money as an effective motivational tool. It can buy the material needs of life but what about status, promotion and ambition.

Innovations are explored and put into application. Team spirit and timely execution of work schedules are taken into consideration. It is checked whether power to mix and lead the group in an effective manner is possible or not.
Encouraging the employees through awards and honors gives pleasure and a reason to improve accordingly. Recognizing the efforts and duly compensating for those efforts helps in enhancing the work-improvement. The token of appreciation has a heartening effect that could induce anyone to put whole-hearted effort in work.
Money has always played a role in meeting the immediate needs of life. However, encouraging employees through non-monetary benefits could give long-terms return to the company.
