Ever notice...suits aren't happy

I know it's not fair to pass judgment, but make a quiet observation about the smiles on the faces of people during a work week. Usually, the people wearing suits, male and female alike, seem to be so uptight and stressed. They are least likely to be wearing a smile. This is not always the case, but more often or not it is true. There are exceptions and many people have fulfilling jobs in all walks of life. There is no comment on the value of people's work, however, many of us are working to survive and maintain the massive debt and hoards of things that we consume to keep us in a false happiness.

Why is this? I used to wear one of those suits, and since I've gone to a no tie policy (even for social events), I am much less uptight and enjoy life more. There are exceptions, and many people have work that keeps them happy, but I would venture to guess that if you want to get happy, and stay happy it is time to review the job you are in. Ask yourself the questions - what do I want to do? Can I do without some "things" and reduce my costs? Will I be more productive and therefore have a better end result in my life if I change jobs or work for myself? More often than not you will find a solution if you want it badly enough.

So, the next time you see a suit, and notice the person is unhappy, or notice you are unhappy in your suit, take the time to reflect. Notice those in a more casual wear, have a happier outlook on life in general, and be thankful for what you have. Maybe it is time to review how and why you live your life in the way you do and know that it's in your power to make the changes.
