Helping others become even better versions of themselves
We can always find something bad and then we can dwell on it. The mind loves drama and its ego loves story of ‘poor little me’.
What if we set out to seek all the good and be content with what we already have? In fact, be grateful for all we have not dissatisfied with what we don’t have.
Life is all about perspective.
In countries where food is not plentiful, life is more simple, they have less of most things and people often sit in a group of friends or family and perhaps pray or say something to express their gratitude for what they have and what they are about to eat.
In other parts of the world, where food is plentiful and very often wasted, where people often sit alone to eat, the only thing that happens is people take a photo of their food and post it on Instagram for others to like. Then return to their smartphones and eat, not just consuming food but consuming yet more data.
We’re confused in our thinking that having everything equates to happiness. The people who have the least tend to have the most gratitude and joy in life and those that have it all are often unfulfilled.
