Focusing on What Matters

Just as I post the last one, Rob comes off with another original. Here are two:

In the end, the wait will seem insignificant compared to the reward.

and

So many things in life are so insignificant and are only there to deter us from focusing on what really matters

Alright, who’s next? Maybe I’ll make a contest out of this.

Trapped by Perceptions

What we’re really trapped by is perceptions… we really need is to just stop thinking of ourselves as bodies and start thinking of ourselves as people.

Happiness

All human beings want happiness, but they don’t know how to go about it. They don’t even know that there is work to be done and a discipline to be observed in order to obtain it. They think that just because they are here on earth they only need to eat, drink, sleep, earn a living, and bring children into the world, and they should automatically be happy. But animals do pretty much the same things, so what is the difference? To be on earth is no guarantee of happiness….

If you want happiness, don’t just sit there and do nothing about it. You must go out and start looking for the elements that nourish it, and as these elements belong to the divine world, that is where you have to look for them. Once you find them, you will love everyone and everything and be loved in return; you will understand things better, and you will have the power to create and achieve your aspirations.

Content

Don’t you want this, too?

Relaxing in a sea of blankets, where all is well and the worries of the world are washed away like tears of joy, rolling down the cheek of a someone so content that only the clouds of heaven could cause him more happiness. Thank God for the simple pleasures in life.

—Rob

I think Rob’s winning.
