When we think about our life, we either rue the chances we didn't get or that we didn't make most of the chances we got. And when we say chance, we mean chance to earn a lot of money, to be hugely successful or to earn a lot of fame. We hardly say we didn't get a chance to be happy or feel happy, or we didn't get someone to love. Because even a naive knows that every one gets these chances. So, why do we ignore these blessings & choose a life which may be full of luxury or fame but is devoid of compassion, happiness or love? You can have these wonderful gifts in your life & still have abundance. So, why not make the most of life by having all? Your choice is not between happiness and abundance. The choice is between happiness & greed.

hi sir! u might be bored of reading my comments , i tried to convince others to not only follow but share their views too,but...
ReplyDeletewe all have lost the feel of being 'contented' in this materialistic world hence we lost our happiness.You are absolutely right,happy life counts much more than luxurious life.
ReplyDeleteHello Richa. I am never bored reading anything good including your remarks. They work like an energy drink after a long race. You feel as if you were running for the drink !
ReplyDeleteIdeally, that should not be the case. Somethings are done just for the pleasure of these, not with some motive. O.K. You might expect something but then, you should be ready for an unexpected response as well. So, the best way is to do it without expecting anything.
As for the post, I have also mentioned that you can feel happy & contented in an abundant life as well. These are not two ends of the rope. The problem occurs when we choose between the two instead of choosing both.
