Will I ever find satisfaction in life as an unemployed single mother?

Ans: It's normal to feel defeated and stuck at times, but it's important to remember that it's never too late to start again and work towards a happier life.

Here are some suggestions to help you get started:

Identify your goals and passions: Take some time to reflect on what you want to achieve in life and what makes you happy. This could be a new career path, a hobby, or a personal goal. Identifying your passions and goals can give you a sense of direction and purpose.

Break down your goals into small steps: Once you have identified your goals, break them down into small achievable steps. This can make them feel less daunting and help you stay motivated.

Create a plan: Develop a plan for how you will achieve your goals. This could involve taking classes, networking, or seeking out mentorship or guidance.

Surround yourself with positive people: Seek out the company of people who support and encourage you. Positive relationships can provide you with the emotional support and motivation you need to move forward.

Practice self-care: Taking care of your physical and emotional health is important in achieving happiness. This could involve eating healthy, getting enough rest, and engaging in activities that bring you joy.

Remember, moving on from a difficult time in your life takes time and effort. Be patient and kind to yourself as you navigate this process. Seeking the help of a therapist or counselor can also be beneficial in working through feelings of defeat and developing a plan for moving forward.

Ans: Hello Gouri

That's beautiful question. Most of us struggle to find happiness in today's world.


Becoming happy without any expectations and being unaffected by negative comments or "dirty talks" from others can be a challenging but achievable goal. Here are some tips that may help you in your journey towards happiness:

Focus on the present moment: Happiness is often found in the present moment, so try to focus on what you're doing right now and enjoy the little things in life. Practice mindfulness, which means being fully present and aware of your thoughts, feelings, and sensations.

Practice gratitude: Take time each day to reflect on the good things in your life and express gratitude for them. This can be as simple as writing down three things you're thankful for each day.

Let go of expectations: Sometimes, expectations can lead to disappointment and unhappiness. Try to let go of expectations and instead, focus on what you can control and what you can do to improve your situation.

Develop a positive mindset: Focus on the positive aspects of situations and try to reframe negative thoughts into more positive ones. Surround yourself with positive people who uplift and support you.

Practice self-care: Taking care of yourself is important for overall happiness. This can include things like getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and doing activities that you enjoy.

Ans: Dear Bimal,
I wish there was some template that we could all follow to always be happy in life.
But I can share a few suggestions on how you can view life with joy no matter what the situation is!

1. See the goodness in every situation or person no matter what is happening
2. Spin positive reasoning even when things are not in your favour
3. Keep expectations out of people to a bare minimum
4. Understand that 'change' is the norm in life
5. Be in gratitude every moment
6. Accept that highs and lows is part of life

These suggestions allow you the flexibility to cope when things are not going your way and also helps you sustain a positive frame of mind at most times. Saying this, 'Happiness' is a state of mind that is 'always' within you. Choose to access it at all times...

All the best!

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Thank you for thinking of life beyond yourself. More of us need to be in that space...
You have listed down a few things and I am sure you know where and how to proceed!

Making anything meaningful can happen when you don't question: What is in it for me?
So even a conversation can become meaningful when you don't search for a meaning but rather be in that moment and be with the other person completely when they are talking to you.

So, to make anything meaningful even the most mundane of tasks, be in the NOW, experience that moment fully. This will allow you to be in the present moment and that leads to meaning. So, don't look for meaning as you will anyway find it when you start to make the best out of every moment of life.

All the best!
