CONTENTMENT

Everyday I receive surprise text messages from long lost friends asking how I'm doing & I reply with much excitement & enthusiasm that I am doing good & very happy. Then they reply back with a sad tone "buti ka pa?". After that they'll ask what makes me very happy.

And the big answer? There's actually no secret. It's just being contented with the things & stability I have.

A few months ago I've been wondrin' what will make me happy & feel fulfilled. I had my goal notebook filled with plans & lists of things that could make me happy however it doesn't seem enough. Although I feel focused I somehow still felt lost.

After transferring to a new job which actually is not that different from my previous job I realized the answer to my question. It's being CONTENTED with what you have. Working with humility & simplicity with the things you are blessed of. I just realized how many opportunities I have wasted just because of asking too much but now God made me realize happiness is really from within. It's about working out things that you now have to further propel your life.

I believe that's the main reason why now I have always been smiling & positive about things.
