I came across this book - "Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps To Living At Your Full Potential" by Joel Osteen, a prestige senior pastor at Lakewood Church, Texas.
I was supposed to return this book from a friend to my cell group leader, so before I saw her on Sunday I took a glance at the book. I was very attracted to his writing, especially on the topic of happiness.
I see a lot of the so-called "emo" post/status update on the Facebook everyday. Whether or not those are the true voices from these facebookers, I still take them as they are. It always strikes my mind, thinking if God is really fair to everyone.
If so, why are there people who worked hard didn't get reasonable payback whilst those who cheat around will get their hands on what they crave for?
My inner soul speaks of God is fair.
Reason being, we cannot use our tiny-little-sinful-immature-reckless-Godmade-human-mind to measure God's mind. Our understanding of God's intention and plans is never comparable to God Himself - just like a dust in the galaxy.
Who are we to judge if God, our maker, is doing it right or wrong for our lives?
In what authority a computer can say Adobe is more creative than the human's, its inventor?
What I really want to convey is that Happiness Is A Choice. While we are ranting about how bad our lives have turned out each day, why not set aside time to appreciate things in the present. The U.S. Census Bureau 2009 reported 1.8 death every second worldwide. That gives more than 100 deaths per minute and 150,000 deaths per day!
Now, say a simple prayer to thank God that you are still alive reading this statistic.
Choose a happy lifestyle. Choose to be happy. Make others happy. Just be happy.
I've heard so many times that "when life gives you lemon, make lemonade." Now, be happy that you at least get a lemon. So many people outside will have to hunt for lemons. So, complain less, and appreciate more. In that way, you will find that life is not so hard on you anymore.
Friends, never be down. Give yourself a good smile in the mirror each morning. For the rest of your day, find your happy channels and live a life that is fulfilling.
Cheers, may today be your breakthrough!
