It is very difficult to be satisfied with what you have and make the most out of it. But it is very important to actually concentrate with what you have in hand at this present moment. When you learn to be happy with what you have and stop sulking about what you don’t have, life becomes easier. Here are 5 tips to focus on what you have rather than on what you don’t have.

1. Look at the brighter side

Rather than criticizing and finding what’s bad about what you have, try focusing about the good and positive part. When we look at the bright side of something we feel happy and positive. When you know and realize the good about what you have you won’t think about what you don’t have.

2. Try to make the most out of it

Until and unless you realize and utilize what you have to its full potential, you will not realize its actual value. You must put in all efforts to use what you have, ultimately you won’t focus on things that you don’t.

3. Observe people who don’t have what you possess

If you look at people who don’t have what you do, its importance for you will start increasing. We don’t realize the value of what we have because we start taking it for granted. But looking at people who crave for it we realize that without it how life would have been.

4. Don’t compare with people in a different life situation

Everyone around has something or the other better or different from you, but if you keep on comparing you will never be satisfied. When you are dissatisfied you won’t be able to concentrate on what you have and you will be unhappy.

5. Feel happy about what you have

You may feel that the people who have what you don’t are very happy. But you never see their problems. You don’t know the baggage they carry along with their happiness. For all you know, everything is happening for your own good. You just don’t realize it.
