Happy Thoughts – Passage

God is sending a pillow of happy thoughts to create wonderful dreams. A blanket of care to keep us warm all night and a prayer to protect us until the dawn breaks.

Make Space in your Life

For many of us, dreams may seem like a luxury or something unattainable, but in the long run ignoring your needs and interests can led to frustration and unhappiness. Going after your dreams means you are using your unique talents and first, and living life to the fullest. “without our dreams, all we have is reality.” People with dreams live longer, healthier lives.

Starting today, make a promise to yourself that realizing your goal will top your to-do list. To achieve this, you’ll have to clear your schedule of some unnecessary clutter. You need to create space in your life for your dream. Use passion as the barometer for deciding what to quit. Say no to something you don’t need or want to do, and say yes to your dream.

Health is HAPPINESS – 3


Anybody who has been to hospital or hospice care centers for the terminally ill will have learned at least one big lesson—“if we only realize how many people who are dying from various illness would trade all their wealth for healthy, long life, or even for jus a few more days on earth, we would learn to value our own health for what it truly is – a Divine gift.” Then he will realize tha even with just his health, he is the richest and the most blessed in life.

The following week, I sat with my classmate who wanted to interview me and she asked me to elaborate my answer to her question of “what makes your happy?”

I told her thus, “For some people, life is like arithmetic where you add one to one and you get two. But for me, the Gestalt theory is a more appropriate theory. Think about this; If one is able to take care of his body by shunning away from bad habits, he doesn’t simply end up being physically sound; it’s not enough for him to say, I have a healthy brain, healthy heart and do on, his totality may even be greater because if he is physically healthy, there’s a lot more he can do in life. He can fulfill his dreams and each accomplishment will add on to his initial deposit of happiness. This is where I’m coming from. Just the same, it doesn’t mean that a person who has lost his legs or arms due to accident or operation has become a lesser human being because it’s not just his physical body that makes him a human being. If he learns to move on despite his physical disabilities, then that means he is psychologically healthy and therefore, ha can be happy.”

“Convinced?”, I asked my classmate.

She answered, “Very well said. What more can I say?” At that point, we bade each other goodbye then we both went home.
