Simplicity

Simplicity is vital for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have is vital. Different people have different beliefs of what happiness really is. However, money is often the bane of happiness, as is evidenced that affluent societies are often considerably more unhappy than poorer (not necessarily poverty stricken) countries. This is a sign that too little, or too much money is not a good thing. A balance needs to be struck between earning money and more fulfilling activities. This is because happiness is not a state to be 'achieved' but a virtue, and all happiness is relative. Happiness is a virtue. Happiness cannot be 'achieved' or 'attained' through earning money. Money can be seen as the opposite of happiness. The rich often wield power, due to their wealth, which in turn corrupts their morals. "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." This means that money results in people actually feeling less fulfilled in the long term. One needs to only think that they are happy to be happy. Thinking that they need meretricious material possessions to be happy only deludes them as to what real happiness is. Money may help them 'feel' happy for a short period, but over time their lives will feel empty, and perhaps meaningless. They need realize that money does not 'grant' happiness, and they need to only look around to realize this. Happiness is relative. If one is unhappy due to comparing their wealth to the rich and famous, then they should try and look at the probable billions more who are less well off. They should take a trip to a less fortunate country and see for themselves what others manage to live on, or even take a trip to a less fortunate part of the city and see that maybe, just maybe, their lives are not so hard after all. Seeing those who do not have the spending power as themselves. So spend sometime with yourself and find out what makes you happy.


I am not the person who sees the glass half empty. Everything in life has its season and if you are patient all things will reveal itself to you. Of course, it may not be what you want to hear, or see or need at that moment but have some FAITH. Forgiveness, is a powerful. Not for the person you maybe upset with but for you. We give people so much power into our lives. Life was meant to be a gift and up to you to let it be the best present you've yet to fully unwrap. You know those zits you get once in awhile. or the rainy day you get when you want to have a beach day, your first heart-break, or just a bad day overall.So go on with your day being thankful that you are here to experience it and embrace the imperfections. The world's a scary place that throws some really nasty curve balls. There are people here who want to bring you down, who tell you what to wear, how to wear it, how to live your life, who to love, where, when, why. It's your choice to decide whether or not the world is worth hearing. If imperfections are the only thing they can see, you can't do anything about it but to smile and walk away. Life's funny like that. It can be like a lecture from every teacher every day, or it can be like swinging life it. I love to see people embracing the life God has given them and living it with passion and purpose. I love it so much that I want a little taste of what they are experiencing.
