Her second visit was to a middle-aged couple living in the
suburbs. "Why are you happy?" she asked the couple.
"Because we have all this," both responded, explaining
that they felt lucky to have each other, and were blessed with a
daughter to care for.
Her last visit was to a financially poor woman in a run-down
deteriorating neighborhood. "Why are you happy?" the
reporter asked. The woman smiled and said, "because I have
many things to be thankful for. I am alive, I have a roof over my
head, and I am blessed by being able to bring up four children and
watch them grow up."
She pointed to a small dirt park across the street with children
playing and laughing and added, "and I have all this to
enjoy."
Happiness is everywhere.
Sometimes you just have to look around to
see it.
Happy = Having A Positive Perspective
(about) Yourself
Happiness is where we look to find it. Happiness is finding it
where we look.
Happiness is in the perspective of the
beholder. . . .
Finding peace and happiness doesn't depend on getting rid of all
conflicts and problems in life. . . rather, finding peace and
happiness depends on learning how to deal with those problems and
conflicts and knowing how to rise above them to enjoy the good
things.
What if:
. . . you worked as if you didn't need the money?
. . . you loved as if you had never been hurt?
. . . you gave as if you had never been taken from?
