I asked her "whats your secret". She told me: last year, God gave me a gift of happiness. I was on my way to a church camp meeting when I got involved in an accident. As I laid there bleeding in so much pain, I realized that I may never be able to walk for a very long time. How depressing!!. But then I realized that being depressed wasn't going to change anything. So I decided right there and then not to waste my life despairing.
Ever since then, I see my friends and family getting upset or getting worked up over little things like: they had a bad day, they had no money, they had a bad grade, they are too fat, their inability to walk like others, talk like others, live like others and look like others. But I just enjoy life!!!.
People often think that happiness is based on what you achieve or acquire. " I just need a better job, a better car and many more".
Happiness is a state of mind, you can have everything in the world and still be miserable or you can have very little and have joy unspeakable.
No matter how little we may have, no matter what situations present themselves before us, always remember that "your present position could be someone else's prayer point".
Find a way to be thankful for your little things and they can become your blessings.
