Ingredients of happiness (3)

At the start of the day,

yes, every morning I pray 

to become aware and see

any simple opportunity 

to perform a random kind act.

 

Sometimes it is a simple thing

like a giving way to a man waiting

or a simple nice word to someone in need

a simple smile to a stranger I meet

but it always has a miraculous effect. 

 

Last week I was in a hurry on my way to work

but we never know where opportunity 'll lurk

I saw a skinny man dressed in absolute rags

looking for something of value in the trash

He hoped that he could find something worthwhile

I was quite late and it was almost nine

I thought I will help the man next time

But then I thought and changed my mind

A u-turn to act on the opportunity to be kind.

I gave him something that gave him a bright smile. 

 

I think he was happy and certainly I was too

A simple kind act is always worth to do  

Surely random kind acts are super important...

Making money is essential in order not to be unhappy. 

The best way to make money is giving high quality service.

If we keep our focus on making lots of money

we may loose the attention we give to rendering high quality service

and end up loosing clients and money very fast.

If  we keep our focus on making lots of money

we may introduce some unfair practices in our service

which may make more money but will not last 

and be only a source of worry, stress and anxiety.

So it is best to keep our focus on good service

Good service is by far the best way to make good money

It not only will make us feel good about the money generated,

but satisfaction, peace of mind and true happiness

are unavoidable consequences of rendering high quality service.

So, yes,

Rendering high quality service is among the essential

     Among the most important

ingredients of happiness is gratitude,

the simple feeling of thankfulness.

     But in order to make gratitude easy,

we need to see something good 

in the situations, in the people in our life

    In order to make gratitude easy,

we need to focus on the good things 

that are present in everything and everyone

 

    At the same time we have to accept

the many imperfections that are there

in almost everything and everyone.

 

    So let us silently accept that the world is not perfect

and at the same time become fully aware of all 

the love, beauty and peace that surrounds us

 

    It will be almost automatic that we become grateful,

and this will contribute so much to our peace of mind.

Thankfulness is among the most important...
