what's keeping me from being happy?

this crisis keeps grilling people...
plans were set. some continue to pursue their goals, no matter what, while others have tried settling down, to whatever they have...

money talks. pre need plans, insurance, car loans, housing loans aside from shopping and out of town travels. these are just some things that makes life somehow better, but in reality, a lot more difficult.

relationship matters. break ups, dishonest partner, unwanted pregnancy... things that we cannot control yet makes us worry.

family, whether wanting it or hating it. we have them, and yet we tend to put pressure on whether we belong to a good or bad family.

these are the source of our happiness! for us to be happy in the future we need to secure it!
we have to do everything... stress ourselves out, pressures, work like donkeys and worry! all these for our tomorrow!

and that made us missed the most important part of our life. our today! we have been living ahead. we are missing the present because we always look foward for tomorrow and the day after...

the truth is there is no better time to be happy than right now!!!
if not right now... when?
when are you planning to smile? to laugh your heart out? to enjoy what you've worked for last month? to share love to your family? to spend time with friends?

do you really think that problems will be gone tomorrow???

our life will always be filled with challenges... as soon as one thing was settled, another will surely appear! that is the thrill and adventure in this wonderful life.

" Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Matthew 6: 34

i know, we are all securing our future. that is important!! and its a must. but to spend our days for that is different... we because we are living today. now. at present!

what's keeping us from being happy?

are we waiting for some future events that will change everything; and will make things better or different?

are we waiting for someone else to change their life, their attitued, likes and dislikes, believing that will make us happy?

do we need to have millions in our accounts to have that smile on our face?

our standard of living should supposedly make us happy. it should inspire us to do good. we it should somehow stop from there, lets make things better, by starting to enjoy life today!

" You do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while... and then vanishes." - James 4:14
