"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?
