You Want to be Happy?

Just logged in and I am very happy to see another blogger – motivation4us – who have visited my site with an invitation to visit his site for motivation. I got interested so I immediately clicked the link and read the latest post – Rejoice Your Day. While I was reading it, I got carried away by the writer’s feelings of losing something very important and all you can think about is blaming other people about it. However, when I get to the part where the beggar offered her own money, I also felt guilty about the negative emotions I held at the start of the story and my bone tingled with the reality that sometimes we think too much of ourselves, of the things we so want to achieve, of our own plans that we forget about the blessings that we have received and focus more on blaming other people and the bad things in life. As a result, we become to worried about things that we tend to forget to be happy.

Thanks to motivation4us! His post was very helpful for me. Lately, I have been so worried about our financial status that I sometimes over-anticipate things and then I get frustrated after thinking  about WHAT IFs: what if we can no longer pay our bills, what if we can no longer save money, blah blah blah… Then I ask my husband to sit with me and talk about it and then argue about it and in the end I get no satisfaction because after all there is no point in thinking about and trying to resolve WHAT IFs. With your point, I realized a lot of things

* I have to be CONTENTED with what I have

* I have to SHARE what I have

* I have to CONTINUOUSLY THANK GOD FOR ALL HIS BLESSINGS AND TRUST IN HIM MY FUTURE!

For me, this is the only way to be HAPPY!
