Well Being Continued

LIFE WILL BE SIMPLE

After we are born, we will grow up and then become an adult and then we will choose our path in life, then we grow old and eventually die. We are all equal in respect of the resources we have available to us….

Now you might say that we don’t all have the same resources available because some are born into poverty while some are born into wealth. This is true and yes the ones born into wealth may have more opportunities available but we still have the same resources. There are plenty of success stories from people who had nothing but are now millionaires as there are stories of wealthy people losing everything. Which one out of these two do you think was more positive and didn’t let bad things stop them from achieving what they wanted out of life.

I am not measuring our lives here on how much money we make and this is not about making money, that was just an example. Money doesn’t make you happy, there are plenty of sad millionaires out there. What I am saying though is that many people suffer from life and what I mean by that is that rather than enjoying life and making the most of every moment of it, they are suffering from how they are living their life and base that on how life is treating them.

Say you have just lost your job, this can be devastating. You have bills to pay, children to feed and a mortgage to pay. Is this an example of how bad life is treating you, are you suffering from life ? you might answer yes. That would not be true. Bad things happen it is how you deal with them as to whether you are suffering from life or not. If we didn’t have bad things then we would not appreciate the good things. So how will you deal with losing your job ?

A lot of people are going to worry and get themselves anxious and worked up ( probably sending their blood pressure up at the same time) they will be miserable and upset and not be able to see a way forward, this will not be good for their well being. Now think about this for a minute, how exactly does being worried, anxious and upset changed the fact that you have lost your job, have a mortgage and bills to pay and children to feed. Does worry  and anxiety get you a new job, does it get you out of the situation you have found yourself in probably through no fault of your own ? No it doesn’t does it.

I will leave you to think about that as I have run out of time again, The final part of Well Being will be in my next post ( I promise )  See you there.
