Within the days we just find that interest. Interests are something that I love. It takes your mind off the everyday things that happen regardless of what they may be. You just embark on something regardless of what it is and you find that inner harmony. Mind you I do look forward to the spring and when I look at things I know that if there is something that is or has taken place or your feeling a tad down with it all I just leave it be and move on with things a mind shift if you will.
I find that when I am constructive then there is something productive. What ever it may be brings about a certain joy. We all have those variety of emotions and if we didn't - then there would be a problem. Yes people are happy in life, I am yet we all do have our ups and downs. It's part of the human condition.
I will never forget how unhappy one friend of mine was and they never challenged themselves. One can share with another yet at the same time you can't control what a person does one does have to learn it themselves. My choice has always been to look on the brighter sides and within the day it's great pending all that is taking place and then you have that self time that you just enjoy things.
On this Monday eve - I am content.
you remind me of so many who can't wait for retirement and once it's there they're so unhappy because they don't have hobbies or things to do that they enjoy and keep themselves productive; it really is important to be so in some venue or sorts to keep one happy in life. we need those challenges! content is good!
ReplyDeleteMost wait for retirement where I tend to think that it can work the other way to some extent. Unless one is a millionaire :)
ReplyDeleteMoney doesn't guarantee anyone else of happiness and contentment. Its what's inside a man's heart that would bring him to that elusive thing. If one keeps on looking and needing something ... then contentment and happiness won't settles in him. The joy is in the simplest things ... not in a mansion not in millions ... :)
ReplyDeleteI think it is a choice to have a joyous heart. It is hard to explain, but even in sorrow, in the center of one's heart there can be a foundation of joy.
ReplyDeleteLike you say, a lot of times just get busy and do something--a friend can help one "get up off the couch" but can't do it for them.
A positive attitude is the only way..And even in times of sorrow I have had so much to be thankful for....
ReplyDeleteLife is what you make it. If you want to be happy, you will be. If you want to be miserable, you will be. It all lies in ones hand and I choose to live life to the fullest even during the difficult times I stay as positive as I can.
ReplyDeleteWell, i think i got that thoughts from Jack ... i do just the same :)
ReplyDeleteI agree. you can lead the horse to the water but you cant make it drink or you and lead a man to the Ladder but you cant make him climb.
ReplyDelete:) @ content.. yep I am am at the Content and the Contentment you are feeling.
Way to go, very wise. Always trying to find at least one thing to be grateful for in a day, going to bed with a positive note in mind. I like that.
