A Story I Saved 4 Years Ago...

Hi faith! Yup, it did make sense.*hehe* It's also as good as saying, "How would we know how strong we are if we never know what makes us weak?" Being perfect doesn't always mean a happy and contented life.:)

God bless!:)

Hi thefortunes!:) Your post made me think to. As always, I say that it's because most of us are never contented. And this statemend, as I learned years later, is easier said than done. We tend to look for more and what lies after and while we're busy doing this, we forget what really matters. And that sometimes, the happiness and contentment we are looking for are just at the tip of our nose and just so close for our eyes to see.

Take care and God bless!=)

How true what you are saying Sr0415... and how could we (you, me, and others) be able to see what is in front of our nose, if we never stop looking for what is behind the horizon? It's good that we keep yearning for more, it really is, OR WE WOULDN'T HAVE COME AS FAR AS WE NOW ARE...imagine life without computers, and without the Internet for that matter, how could we deal with that, in such a case;) LOL...It keepa a great conversationreally, and one that doesn't have an end:)

Hi thefortunes!:) Both perspectives on yearning to make yourself better and having the sense of contentment inside your heart are two different things, but just has a "thin line" difference. (Whoooa! It's soooo DEEP! hehe) We always want to make ourselves better - always ask for more out of life. But we tend to just forget that the essential things are the simplest things - like a conversation with a friend you haven't seen in years, a time with your family, heartfelt laughters, and so on..:)

We tend to make ourselves busy, and we become so busy that we forget those who are essential.:) As everybody says, "Take time to smell the flowers."

God bless! (",)

Dear Sr0415

Have to tell you that I enjoy immensely the conversation with you, and thanks for it, I really mean this;) And I am guilty of not smelling enough the flowers...but have taken the steps about a month ago to start doing this, and it prooves successful all of the way:)
I am able now to enjoy my days more, to be more productive, while taking the time to enjoy quality time with my partner, and to feel less cluttered and in need of time, time, time, that is always too short for us working people, while having to make ends meet at the end of each and every month. What will be the point if we work ourselves to dead, without enjoying what is there to be enjoyed? We will end up old, and probably bitter for not having taken the needed time with loved once while they were still around:) Thanks again, God Bless and enjoy your day at the fullest

Thank you Sr0415 for the BR, and I enjoyed this discussion a lot:)

Hi thefortunes! You're very much welcome! I also had a great time sharing my thoughts with you through this discussion.:)

Hi gorgzlady1904!:) Very well said. Thank you so much for sharing about your thoughts here. You're right. There's no point dwelling and wallowing too much to depression because life has a lot of beautiful and wonderful things to offer.=)
