Kick Bong and Unhappiness - Why Are So Many People Unhappy lyrics

Why are so many people unhappy?
I was talking to a close friend the other day
When he mentioned that it seemed like most of the people
He came into contact with were unhappy
Unhappy with their spouse, their children, their job
And in a great number of cases, their life in general

After discussing this with him, it made me wonder
If maybe the expectations have just gone way too high
What happened to just appreciating a breathe of fresh air
Or the scent of a rose in a garden

That is the central theme as to why I decided to embrace
An attitude of gratitude mindset
It is so easy to have lofty expectations that are never met

Now, I'm not saying that you shouldn't reach for the moon
Just to enjoy everything and be grateful along the way
As I got older, I realized that it really is about the journey
And not the destination

I do think that so many parts of your life come down to making a choice
It is a choice to increase your level of happiness
It is difficult and requires courage to change your relationship
Change your job or change your life
Gratitude will help give you the courage you need

Being grateful and writing in a gratitude journal everyday
Keeps you focused on what you have
It will make your journey so much more pleasurable
And maybe a little happier too

Why are so many people unhappy?
Just to enjoy everything and be grateful along the way
Why are so many people unhappy?
It seemed like most of the people
He came into contact with were unhappy
Unhappy with their spouse, their children, their job
And in a great number of cases, their life in general

After discussing this with him, it made me wonder
If maybe the expectations have just gone way too high
What happened to just appreciating a breathe of fresh air
Or the scent of a rose in a garden

That is the central theme as to why I decided to embrace
An attitude of gratitude mindset
It is so easy to have lofty expectations that are never met

Now, I'm not saying that you shouldn't reach for the moon
Just to enjoy everything and be grateful along the way
As I got older, I realized that it really is about the journey
And not the destination

I do think that so many parts of your life come down to making a choice
It is a choice to increase your level of happiness
Gratitude will help give you the courage you need

Being grateful and writing in a gratitude journal everyday
Keeps you focused on what you have
It will make your journey so much more pleasurable
And maybe a little happier too
