Recently I asked myself the question Am i happy? and then when I got my answer I asked yet another question Am I living in the present? When one lives in the past they focus on all of the things that did or did not happen, and if one lives in the future they stress over what may or may not happen, but when one lives in the present, they are free from regret and stress. Nothing can change the past and one can only take every day one moment at a time. So the only thing to do is to live in that moment; keep in mind the future, but remember, you can never dwell there for when the future arrives it is no longer the future. In addition, no outside force (person, event, or anything else) should be able to take your joy. We cannot control what other people think about us nor can we be in control of everything that happens around us. and when we come to accept this, we will learn peace. Accept the things that are beyond your control, respect opinions, but do not hold on to them nor allow them to effect your emotions. Life is far too beautiful and far too short to be unhappy. So live your life for yourself. Help others, but do not overburden yourself. Be kind, but do not be taken advantage of. Love, but do not give up your happiness for that of someone that you can never keep happy. Live in a way that is beneficial not only to the dignity of other; but also, to your own dignity. -Lessons for self and others, Mecca
