being happy is by choice :D
ReplyDeleteRandomnes is correct. So choose wisely. :-P I choose being happy! I choose my happiness and I allow it to affect a few others every day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the post!
and practice will indeed bring you the results- these days people find it easier to crib and whine but not enuff effort is made to impact ones own equilibrium
ReplyDeleteHappiness for me means having dissolved my life wishes and life goals from feelings of shame, having made myself immune for criticism by others on my way of being and behaving, it means also to work hard to do good to others and look upon life from the bright side, and to accept that I can only change small/minor problematic aspects in life and that time will solve any of my private and more general major problems. Waiting for the time to do its work, requires patience; but realizing that solving a major problem is far beyond my power to solve it, gives me a quiet feeling of acceptance, allowing for happy feelings for what I can and must reach. Happiness does not exist without setting goals in life and trying hard to reach them. Happiness can exist with mental pain, as long as we do not try to think we can solve it in case the pain is far beyond our private control. Wisdom and patience is needed here. The time needed to wait can be in between 6 months to even 10 years.
ReplyDeleteI realize that you have probably not understood the essence of what happiness means for a human beeing since so much pain is involved to "reach# it. What a shame to look upon other human beeing in this way.
DeleteThat is an amazing thought, Phillip. I will have to chew on this.
DeleteAwesome blog you have introduced. well done
ReplyDeleteThis may be a comment I shouldn't do.. but it's practiCe.. not practiSe. Yeah, I know.. it goes against the pylosophy of the blog, but you know.. "Don't be afraid of correcting people" should be something similar to "Don't be afraid to authority, respect it"
ReplyDeleteAnd it really works. If it comes naturally, fine, else bring happiness to your life.
ReplyDeletethanks for this wonderful blog.....

ReplyDeleteActually the author has used the word correctly in this place.As "practise"is a verb in this circumstances.
"In many parts of the English speaking world (UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, and South Africa) “practice” is the noun, “practise” the verb. However, in the U.S.A the spelling “practice” is more often used for both the noun and the verb."

P.S : No offence.
To Philip Muus. To wait between 6 months up to 10 years is a long time. What happens with wisdom and patience?
