Why Being Carefree As A Cow Makes Your Life Easy

Not gonna lie, I used to feel jealous of cows, seeing them roaming so calm and carefree. But gladly, not anymore...

Lately, my perspective on life and how I approach it has become more liberal, and I've become as carefree as a cow myself.

Earlier, I had been a guy who cared about anything and everything. I was so obsessed with how I'm perceived and what others think of me, my career, the outcomes and everything. I was super concerned, sensitive, insecure and stressed out. I was walking on eggshells all the time. It made my life complicated and miserable.

And now...

• I started seeing life from a bird's eye view and remember how small we are and how little our lives are,
• I remind myself how every incident or outcome is meaningful and a lesson,
• I remind myself that others don't care about us as much as we do, or as we think they do. I let people troll me and laugh at me,
• I watch sitcoms. Not just for fun, but to realise the reality of how simple our lives are when it is approached lightly. (My heartfelt shoutout to all the writers and crew behind such shows for showing us the reality so effectively)

These help me be chill and stress-free - I stopped blaming myself if things don't go well as I planned, I stopped worrying about what's next, I stopped being over conscious of every little opinion of others, I stopped valuing myself based on others' views on me, and so on.

But it's not that I don't care or I don't mind. I'm observant and responsible, but not stressed. I don't care what doesn't have to be cared for. I care ONLY about those that truly deserve my attention to be cared for.

I don't know what others consider happiness, success and desires in life. But these kinds are mine... I'm more than glad to become this way and able to share how this helped me because I see a lot of people who are where I was back then. So, I'd love for them to try this out. I believe this perspective can make their life also simple, easy and calm.
