Life is what we make it, so we have to prefer happiness.Sadness does not make sense. It only ruins health.
-
Happiness or otherwise everything is in our hands.We are responsible for our own fate. If I am not happy I try to be happy. Just search, what makes you happy? If one can not understand for himself, he can not understand anybody. There will be suspicion, greed for money, dissatisfaction, distrust, all other evils crop up to make me unhappy easily.
I am constructing a house. Today the builder reached along with the expenditure incurred towards digging of borewell. It was somewhat higher. I just asked him to reduce the bill. Finally, it was settled and some ten thousand rupees was reduced. I do not know whether it goes to the builder or to the Borewell person who undertook the digging. If I constantly thinking about as to whom it goes, I should suspect the builder also who is actually entrusted with the construction work. If I suspect him there is no meaning in it as he has to take up many things and take care of many things. So, mere suspicion without any result or proof makes me unhappy just for ten thousand when the construction cost if running in lakhs.
We have to compromise in some aspects. Further, self-satisfaction is another factor which makes one always happy, Most of the people in my area are suggesting this and that, but I can not follow them as it would add up to my estimated expenditure. So I have to be strict and should not give way aspiring things which are beyond my financial capacity. So, the money factor can never make me unhappy.
So, everything goes by our own selection of things. How we choose them, and how we respond to the circumstances is very very important in life to keep oneself always happy.

Thank you siva for your very valuable thoughts about life how to deal it happily or not at all the time. yes, it is up to the person what to do to make life a little bit bolder and stronger that despite difficulties, we will never surrender and give up life. for as long as we live there is always problem,but solvable problems.
-
Cely this is another good one from you. Keep posting.

It really depends on the person if he will be happy or not; it is only him who can decide on what kind of life he wants to have; sometimes friends or loved ones can influence him, or if he listens to their good advice.
Being alive and healthy are among the things that he should think of so he will always be happy.
-
Some very wise and encouraging words. At times, we feel sad and dejected, but we need to perhaps take a day as it comes, and not bother too much about things that are not in our control.

dealio , Thank you friend for dropping by and extending your inspiring words on this topic, very much appreciated. It promotes self- esteem. That is true happiness is never hard to find.We can be happy even in a simple thing like making others happy like picking up the things that fall to the ground,That is already a very great source of happiness to both you and the person owner of those fallen things, There are so many ways to be happy in the most simplest way.
-
We need to be happy for that is what God wants us to do. Let us find means to move on if feel something bad to an experience you might have.Sometimes it is hurting if problem is so difficult to face and solve.

Change is a must if sense you are not the same you in the past.

Living Life to the fullest, for life is too short….I do agree on this particular statement, to a certain extinct. My reason for saying this is because we all make choices in life. Some choices are bad and some choices that we make, are good choices. We are not perfect, so we will eventually fall short sometimes. Being realistic, the decisions that we make in life, on a daily basis, causes us to set ourselves on a path, to either good or bad! It is up to oneself, on which path you will decide to take. What I have learned, is that life is very important! I believe that, the more good choices, the better your life will become. The poor choices that are made throughout one’s life, would determine the outcome of the life that you live.
In order to live life to the fullest is to keep making good decisions. In my opinion, life is short because of what you make of it. Sometimes, we are put in places or around certain people, to be tested. Being tested towards the decisions that are made. If you choose to go down the wrong path because of the choices that you make in your life, always know that it is never someone else’s fault, it is your fault…the person who is making that choice. Our life can be saved from the wrong choices that we make, therefore if someone offers you a good piece of wisdom, take it! If you are a person that accepts negative and positive criticism, this will be a good deed to have.
The value of accepting positive and negative criticism is to understand the fact that we are not all perfect and we do not know everything. There are people who been on this earth, longer than you, who is gifted to still be living . In my opinion, I feel that their life expectancy is long because of the choices that they made throughout their life, making their life a meaning or a purpose!
So I am going to choose to live life to the fullest! I am talking it into existence for my life! Be careful of the decision making in your life and be mindful of the toes that you step on
in the process. When people are good to you, that is very special to have in your life. There are many people who are not fortunate enough to have a second chance, so every choice that you make should count for something positive in your life! -
@Detra Abbass, Hi? Thank you for your nice contribution about the idea on this blog if necessary to live to the fullest and you are right. It really depends on the situation like those sickly people, they have to enjoy life despite disabilities for the more that they can help themselves if feeling depressed due to sickness.Life is too short , it is felt by those who already reached the 70’s and so on and so forth.

I stand to say that Honesty is truly the best policy. Its a must for children, I have made sure that I inculcate it in my children. In fact, as communicants, my children know best not to tell a lie. As a couple, I come clean in everything I do, I honestly do not know how to tell a lie, because I will get caught. My hands are always clean is a saying foe telling the truth. Lies will always catch up with you. A friend of mine once lied about her age, in fact when she got her visa, she was so excited, she sent the visa page to me, and voila, the real age appeared. All this while I thought I was older, but it turns out she is older by two years. As I speak right now, the previous year she claimed she would be 40 has suddenly reduced, I guess age is no longer on her side. The truth I must say will always set you free, so its best to always, come clean.

Joy E. Ojo, you are a great parent, a great model to your children, That must what parents must do to inculcate onto the minds of their children the value of honesty for they are young and their minds are not yet developed, They need good values to learn and nurture so when become big those learned will never depart from them ( John Locke). A child’s mind is like a blank sheet of paper, he or she must be be taught the right ways and good values of life. Thanks for your very nice and inspiring comment, very much appreciated.

It is important for Honesty.Being untruthful will only cause more lies that you would have to tell, to cover up the first lie. Some people are untruthful for many different reasons, in order to get or maintain certain perspectives of a thing.
In my opinion, Honesty is the key to build good communication and character with people. If people are familiar with you as a honest person, you are respected more. People are most likely going to accept your words of being truthful, on face value.
When you care about someone, it is very important to maintain honesty. In relationships, being truthful, is the key. Dishonesty will only cause pain for you and your significant other. When a lie is told, usually you have to remember the first lie that you told, in order for your lie to be believable. Eventually, your lies will end up, getting you caught up in losing the people that you care deeply about.
Everyday, there are a great number of people who are dishonest on a daily basis. Sometimes, people will label you as being fake, because you are considered to be untruthful and your word do not mean a thing. Therefore, in order for you to earn the proper respect, be honest. Lying gets you no where.
Having a conscience, should avoid untruthfulness to people who you care about. If you do not want people to be hurt because of your lie, then do not be dishonest. The lies that you tell, will definitely cause disruption in your relationship.
When you are in a relationship, trust is the main key. Trust, Communication and Honesty are the main tools to keep in your relationship. In order to keep the bond with your significant other, maintain being honest. Good piece of advice!

True, I have observed one thing about honesty. When one starts lying then one lie follows another and there is not end to the list of lies which a individual would have to take the help of to cover the first lie. It becomes a vicious cycle. It also takes a toll on the person who is doing this and the people with whom he has been doing this.
This trait of honesty is a very important one to be inculcated since childhood as if a child grows up without learning and appreciating this trait. Then even his children and the others with whom he comes in touch also get into a problem. It difficult to practice but not impossible to perfect. Thanks for the share.
-
Honesty is the best policy. Anywhere you go, whatever you do, if you are guided by honesty, nothing would go wrong. An honest person is liked by many; no lies could twist his principles, his words are trustworthy, even his actions. He is credible.
-
Krishna Kumat, Thank you friend for dropping by and sharing your nice words about this bog. You are right honesty is the best policy. Children should be taught on this so they won;t cheat someday.

@Detra Abbass , thanks , very well said, yes honesty can bring a better communication and wholesome trust in a family, group, peer. work place. Honesty is a great virtue that is brought and carried through generation to generation. A society would be in a critical situation if composed of fake members or people.
-
It is not true that we can not fake honesty, lots of double faces do have fake honesty and that show how bad they are and good in what they do, honesty is hard to find in our world and that is sick really, but maybe in the old days the honesty was hard to fake it, but now, it is so easy to fake for some people and so easy to fool good people since good people like to see the good in other people, but let me tell you that this fake honesty can not last, they will be seen for whome they areally are and also they will get falling so badly for the fake honesty and fake personality too, that is interesting topic and the generation did make difference in the honest the older the generation the more honesty the world was, so let us be aware of those fake people since it is critical life to live if some one with dishonesty fake his honesty to you, then you are under their mercy and your life, your house and all is under their games
-
@tress, I appreciate much your own views about honesty, very well said, yes though bothers can fake honesty, but it won’t last. No one ever had triumphed a lie the same way as there is no secret that can be kept for years.Thank you.

It is so important to show to our family how much we love them and how much we care for them. Let us count every moment they are with us. Take care all.
You are correct!
AS they say, “make each day as though it is your last” so we do good deeds everyday of our lives.
I do agree with you. There is nothing like permanent or impermanent. Everything goes on changing. If a particular situation makes you happy it will not remain forever. So much so, if a particular event makes you unhappy it will not be so forever. Hence, there is no need to take anything seriously. The status, luxurious life, and the bank balance will not remain forever but it is certain that you need a minimum place after your death. This is what makes life funny. Even then we are unable to grasp the truth of life. But, surprisingly, even this truth is also not permanent. A big question now will be ‘what and why is this mutability existing in the world?
It drives us to the conclusion that MUTABILITY IS THE LAW OF LIFE.
You are right, everything on earth is temporary. This is the reason why we should value each moment of it, to use it the best we can like how we treat our kids, husband, parents, relatives and friends. What you had done in that short moment can be a lasting impression for them.
It is important we should like the group, people, set up . We must feel encouraged to participate. I visit now and then and post my ideas as comments and I also occasionally make posts. good day
That is true siva and thanks , life is temporary so we have to exhaust everything to make our family happy and we have to be happy despite burdens that may be put on our shoulder for it is from them that we become truly human and a better person. Somehow we want to question how life deals our own ways, but everything is program by our destiny , unless deviate from the standard and that is the time our right path be ruined by some foolish desires. No matter how long a road is, one can reach the end. Thanks for your very nice thoughts on this matter, very much appreciated my freind, Take care all the time.
I so agree. While we are living, see to it that you don’t say things that can demean any person. Be tactful with whatever that you may say to a person.
Be generous. Share your blessings if you have a lot, because they can return a hundredfold.
Laugh a lot too and make people happy too, even if it is at your own expense.
That way, when you die, the people will remember you for all those happy , nice and good things that you have done, while you were still alive.
@Dina, thanks for your nice share of this topic, yes, true we will be remembered if do good things but there are also others who remember someone according to his bad deeds hehehe not the good one.Let us anyway utilize every moment while we are still breathing with God’s air. Let us be happy all the time and be contented with what we have to avoid disappointment of life.Life is what we make it, so if possible let us make life worth to live an cherish by day by day.
@SAMBASIVAN.S., Hi? Thanks for dropping by very much appreciated share of this topic. Yes your suggestion is so vital to be happy and make friendships.
