THE SECRET

One day, a friend asked ME, “How is it that you are always so happy? You have so much energy, and you never seem to get down.”

With MY eyes smiling, I said, “I know THE SECRET.”

“What secret is that?”

To which I replied, “I’ll tell you all about it, but you have to promise to share THE SECRET with others.”

“THE SECRET is this:
I have learned that there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly happy.
I must depend on God to make me happy and meet my needs.
When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply according to his riches.
I have learned most of my time I don’t need half of what I think I do.
He has never let me down.
Since I learned that “SECRET”, I am happy.”

My friend first thought was, “That’s too simple!”
But upon reflecting over her own life she recalled how she thought that be a rich would make her happy, but it didn’t!
She thought a better paying job would make her happy, but it hadn’t.
You know when did she realize her great happiness?
Sitting on the floor with her son, playing games, eating their favorite food, chatting with friends and spending time with family, a simple gift from God.

Now you know it too!
We can depend on the people to make us happy.
Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that.
Trust HIM!
And now I pass THE SECRET on to you!
So once you get it, what will you do?

You have to tell someone THE SECRET, too!
But it’s not really a secret…
We just have to believe it and do it.

What LIFE is About

A Long time ago, there was Emperor who was told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered. Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding , whipping the horse to go as fast possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much as area as possible. Come to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he ask himself, "Why did I pushed myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."

The above story is similar with the journey of our life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love to do. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.

Some people spend their whole life accumulating material things: no amount of accumulation can make them contented. The desire for more and more is their whole life's devotion. When they fail to get what they seek, they become disappointed as before. The object of their dreams appears to be less wonderful, less appealing or desirable than they had earlier considered it to be. By now, their desire and expectations have gone up by a few notches, and they are not satisfied with their new acquisitions. They are constantly egged on by the notion that the 'grass is always greener on the other side of the fence'. People such as thesecan never be happy or contented. In fact, the more they have, the greater their desire becomes. It is said that the man's needs, such as food, shelter and clothing, can be satisfied, but seldom his desires.

Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.

Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal Time. You have to decide how you want to balance your life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. HAPPINESS is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balance a lifestyle and ENJOY LIFE!
