Gratitude shapes contentment

We're born into this world, given one lifetime.
We decide our lives, lead them and face the music.
Until death we often ponder the meaning behind this lifetime.
Why are we here?
What are we to do on Earth?
It all depends on every individual to think about their lives' purposes.
It's time to look within, the pure heart and mind are the book of life.
Life is not meant for us to just enjoy.
The world provides us to feel true happiness & peace because enjoyment is pleasure.
Pleasure is impermanent and fluctuating.
Happiness is permanent, silent and abstract.
It is not caught by sight.
You eat an ice-cream, you feel pleasure, not happiness
It does not come and go like waves.
It stays in heart & mind, within each one of us, felt not sighted by oneself.

Life itself is not complex. It's just people who complicate it.
When bad times come, they are just bad moments we choose to come in.
What do we do then?

Life is not merely waiting for the storm to pass.
It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Never avoid or fear misfortunes, face them gladly.
Later, we'll realise that the value of every misfortune will appear to be priceless.
What we get is experience when we don't get something we would honourably accept

Let us rise up and be thankful,
For if we didn't learn a lot today,
At least we learned a little,
And if we didn't learn a little,
At least we didn't get sick,
And if we got sick,
At least we didn't die,
So let us all be thankful.

-Buddha-

Life is like a road.
Do we just walk it through until the end?
Walking with no meaning is indeed meaningless.
Why just walk straight blindly until the end destination?
Keep in mind,
Life is a journey, not a destination.

Open up the heart & mind when walking the road of life.
The rocks of danger provide a chance for wisdom.

Living a life without knowing where your feet are taking you creates uncertainty
Expecting the others to handle your feet,
Hate/blame the surroundings when things go wrong,
We should all stand on our feet, create our own world for the good of others and ourselves.

Peace requires a simple life.
Simple as in free from worries.
Worry worry worry...
It makes the present moment non-existent and wasteful.
The future never comes when one never stop worrying.
The material world can drown us into a lot of delusions, addiction, uncertainty, fear and depression mostly. All are linked.
The unreal world has become reality now.

Understanding that gain in material or status is not most important after all.
They are impermanent.
Craving and prioritizing them in life will increase our sense of self (selfishness)
Everything revolves around I, I, I, me, me, me, mine, mine, mine..
Diminish the sense of self, prevent from being self-centered in every way.

Geared up for an awakening life?
Yes, leave unreality and explore the world's beautiful mystery.
Alive here on earth is more than enough than anything you'd want.
Gratitude for being alive.
Gratitude for everything in this world,
Gratitude for whatever that comes,
Gratitude to have learned so much in this realm.

Thank you
Much love for everyone and everything in this world <3
Life's beautifully wondrous.
Exploring the invisible and admiring at how all abstracts work have been a great world.
With metta :)
