Happiness

Critique yourself sternly and honestly, but appreciate your achievements. Defend yourself and educate yourself with the best intentions.

In an era where demands that our time and patience are heightened, happiness becomes elusive and temporary for many, it will not be found until we make time to engage in worthwhile activities. The possibility that happiness can be found if pursued correctly is attainable. If happiness is not sought for respectable reasons, it will surely lead to disappointments. Strive to look at circumstances with an impartial viewpoint, devoid of any connections and recusing yourself from participating in adverse actions. Critique yourself sternly and honestly, but appreciate your achievements. Defend yourself and educate yourself with the best intentions. It is with honorable motives that happiness can be found long term.

Experience, The Best Teacher

If experience teaches us anything, it is that we must pause and learn from it, enjoy it, and change course when necessary. It provides us with the opportunity to prevent mistakes, unveil new discoveries, and offer many life lessons.

Experience gives us valuable knowledge we can call on. Experience is the means that allows us to learn from past events to address various situations with a measured response for the best possible outcome. If experience teaches us anything, it is that we must pause and learn from it, enjoy it, and change course when necessary. It provides us with the opportunity to prevent mistakes, unveil new discoveries, and offer many life lessons. The knowledge gained from experience is a great ally to call on when a decision must be made or an action taken. Experience is never ending, it is something we can continue to absorb and share with others throughout life. Experience is never useless, golden opportunities to pursue knowledge always exist for wisdom in the future. The most prestigious degree in the world is no substitute for experience.

The Money Illusion

The price paid is often accepted for something so shallow as enough is never enough. It is with blurred vision and a misguided belief in a false sense of security that propels some to do anything for the sake of money.

Money will surely run its course, the cycles of ups and downs, wars fought to prop it up, a teetering game of value or devalue with only a promise to back it up. The veil of deception under which the more one has the more one is revered is temporary, yet the veil of deception is held with pride and a sense of power over others. The greedy, the arrogant, and unyielding powerful forces, all eager to grab and consume everything in sight. The price paid is often accepted for something so shallow as enough is never enough. It is with blurred vision and a misguided belief in a false sense of security that propels some to do anything for the sake of money. With a little effort to enlighten the heart, pitfalls of a life lived for the love of money can be exchanged for a life lived for unselfishness. We can learn to love and cast a smile, lend a helping hand or a word of praise, we can be happy with what we have, and we can be the person who show our heart and soul with honorable actions. It is then, that we accomplish something noble in life. All the money in the world will not dismiss all of your problems, in fact it might increase your problems. If nothing else, it will definitely give you a false sense of security.
