You can control your happiness only, not outer world

Raja was overwhelmed when his marriage to the girl he desired was finalized after a long family debate. He was excited to have finally found his true love. 


One day I saw him on the way six months after his marriage; he appeared tired, stressed, and irritated. His joy and optimism for life had faded away. When I asked him about it, he said he most likely chose the wrong life partner. After a year, he was separated from his love, for whom he was willing to die some years before.


What went wrong with Raja? Was he expecting too much and failing to recognize that reality could be different?


When we invest in the wrong asset class, we also suffer the same consequences. Our happiness vanishes, and we try to find a way to get rid of it because it adds to our stress on a daily basis.


Long-term investments need commitment, and we must adjust to the unique characteristics of various asset classes. We must control our emotions while ignoring our partner's flaws.


This is how we keep a long-term relationship going. I'll leave the rest at your discretion.
