"THE FIRST SECRET OF HAPPINESS"
# SURRENDERING TO GOD : Remember, you are a creation of god. He's never going to let you down. No matter what happens, never let your faith in god be dwindled. Life is all about ups and downs. At one moment, you might fell happy and exhilarated; on the other hand, at the other moment, you might feel sad, gloomy and depressed. If you want to live happily, you've got to start accepting your present situation, and stop simpathizing with yourself.
"ACCEPTANCE IS THE BEST POLICY" :
You are blessed to be alive! There are people who've got all the material comforts in this world, and yet, they are still struggling for life. They might be suffering from some chronic ailment or a disability, and they might have just a few days left to live.
YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND :
$ Money can buy material comforts,and yet it can't buy happiness.
$ Money can buy you a comfortable mattress to sleep on,but it can't buy you sleep.
$ Money can buy you delicious food,but not a good appetite.
$ Money can buy you good cloths;however,it can't give you a healthy body.
$ Money can buy you artificial praises and flattery,but it can't buy you genuine respect and love.
$ Money can buy you big houses,but it can't buy the people who really care for you.
GOD HAS PLANNED WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU. YOU NEED NOT PLAN ANYTHING. YOUR LIFE IS IN HIS HANDS. BE NOT ANXIOUS FOR TOMORROW. NOTHING HAPPENS BY CHANCE. EVERYTHING TAKES PLACE ACCORDING TO THE DIVINE PLAN, WITH A DEFINITE PURPOSE TO BRING YOU NEARER TO THE GOAL.

# VALUING YOUR BLESSINGS : Often, I come across people telling me,"I am going to be happy if...." This "if" just never seems to end". Some of us are looking for money; some are looking for settlement; some are longing to become parents; some are looking to buy material possessions; and the list goes on.
The bottomline is: we all seem to be associating our happiness with the fulfillment of our never ending desires and wishes.
