I used to tune in to this radio channel for news but they usually have these short messages throughout the day and this particular one about Attitude caught my attention.
I've been thinking a lot lately (and got some white hair now...maybe due to lack of sleep) about what do I really want out of life? Do I want to be successful? super rich? have lot of money? Do I want to be loved? happy family?...etc. As I quietly sit down and going through this, I think none of this matter anymore. What I ultimately want is Happiness and to achieve happiness is not an easy task. There are so many things that can stop us from achieving happiness such as: jealousy, selfishness, greed, evil...etc. So from the above radio show, he reminded us that positive attitude can bring you happiness so I'll try to do that now. He also said "positive attitude make success more likely, failure less harmful, pleasure more frequent, and pain more bearable". Pain more bearable...that's what I really needed the most now to go through this tough time.
