The secret of happiness

[Guest guest]

" The secret of happiness is the realization that life is a gift, not a right. "

Once we understand this axiom of life, our perspective on everything changes.

And once our perspective on everything changes we become more fulfilled. And

once this happens, we become much happier and realize that our life is different

than it was before.

And not that just our life is a divine gift, but everything in our life. While

of course we have to work hard to earn something, whether it be financial

reward, a college degree on someone's respect, these are still all divine gifts

that should be appreciated as such.

Imagine everyday is your birthday and throughout the day you keep receiving

unexpected gifts. How would you feel. So now try to convert this same sense to

your everyday life, and appreciate everything as a gift. I'll guarantee you will

be a much happier person.

This is Rex Barker, CS (Capturing the Secret) reminding you to just try this for

one day - and see where it takes you.

Hi -

Thanks for posting this - I absolutely agree with all

that was said - life is a most wonderful gift and we

need to make the best out of what life has brought to

us, good or bad. Living with chronic illness is not

easy, but we still must treasure the blessings we have

in our family, friends, pets, homes, and be able to

recognize the gifts we are given every day. Some days

it is hard for me to see these gifts because of pain,

but I do try to see the positives in my life, and

daily thank God for the blessings in my life. Thanks

for the reminder to do that.

THE SECRET of Happiness

The Secret One day, one friend asked another, "How is it that you are always so happy? You have so much energy, and you never seem to get down." With her eyes smiling, she said, "I know the Secret!" "What secret is that?" To which she replied, "I'll tell you all about it, but you have to promise to share the Secret with others." "The Secret is this: I have learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make me happy and to meet my needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply according to HIS riches. I have learned most of the time I don't need half of what I think I do. He has never let me down. Since I learned that 'Secret', I am happy." The questioner's first thought was, "That's too simple!" But upon reflecting over her own life she recalled how she thought a bigger house would make her happy, but it didn't! She thought a better paying job would make her happy, but it hadn't. When did she realize her greatest happiness? Sitting on the floor with her children, playing games, eating pizza or reading a story, a simple gift from God. Now you know it too! We can't depend on people to make us happy. Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that. Trust HIM! And now I pass the Secret on to you! So once you get it, what will you do? YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too! That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU! But it's not really a secret... We just have to believe it and do it... Really trust God! Just Pass It On!

With regards,

Krish....
