Just Be Happy...

Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything, you will be happiest...

No one ever said that life was a bed of roses.  If it was, then we would all be living in a perfect world. Life is not perfect, it is up to us to make the most of what we are given and to strive to always be as good a person we can and to do the best we possible can.  This being said, we all must have at least one person in our lives we rather we didn't.  That one person who if allowed can make our life's difficult and at times stressful...The key here is "IF ALLOWED"   Like many, I also know many people who are rather annoying, bothersome and plain just a pain in the butt, but like you, I also try to see the good side of everyone, not always easy and sometimes just impossible.  Sometimes we encounter people in our lives that because of envy or jealousy they just don't like you...and go out of their way to be difficult.

I have learnt to ignore this kind of behaviour because I have been through a lot in my life.  I know that life is very short to have resentments and anger towards each other.  I strive to rise above pettiness and to ignore narrow minded people. 

Both Arvid and I live life the way we want.  We never let anything nor anyone influence our choices nor cramp our lifestyle.  I have sen too many life's destroyed by families and opinions of others.  I learnt that the key to happiness is to say and tell as little as possible.  As they say the less they know the better off we are...

I’ve learned you can’t always saved the world. But you can make the world a better place by working on yourself–by becoming self-aware, tapping into your compassion, and protecting your positive space. You may even help negative people by fostering a sense of peace within yourself that their negativity can’t pierce. 

Mahatma Gandhi once said, "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong"


If you want plenty of experience in dealing with difficult people, then have kids...They can betray me, but I choose not to betray my peace of mind....

until next time...
