There are always things to be grateful for :) |
When we die, our money remains in the bank, untouched. Yet, while we are alive, we often feel we don’t have enough to spend. The truth is, when we’re gone, much of what we worked for remains unused.
Consider this story: A wealthy business tycoon in China passed away, leaving $1.9 billion in the bank. His widow eventually married his chauffeur. Reflecting on this, the chauffeur said, “All along, I thought I was working for my boss. Now I realize he was working for me.”
The reality is harsh but simple: It is more important to prioritize health and well-being over accumulating wealth. Life is about making the most of the time we have, not hoarding what we may never use.
A high-end phone? 70% of its features go unused.
An expensive car? 70% of its speed and gadgets are unnecessary.
A luxurious home? 70% of the space is rarely used.
A wardrobe full of clothes? 70% of them are never worn.
At the end of a lifetime of earning, 70% of it often benefits others. The challenge, then, is to cherish and fully utilize the 30% that truly matters.
Live wisely and intentionally:
Go for regular health check-ups, even if you feel fine.
Drink water often, even if you’re not thirsty.
Let go of problems, even when they seem overwhelming.
Be willing to compromise, even when you’re right.
Stay humble, no matter your wealth or status.
Practice gratitude and contentment, even with less.
Take care of your mind and body, no matter how busy you are.
Invest time in people you love and cherish.
Simple rules for a fulfilling life:
Love deeply. Pray often. Spend time in reflection.
Eat mindfully: Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.
Live with energy, enthusiasm, and empathy.
Read, dream, and smile often.
Sleep well, exercise daily, and take quiet moments for yourself.
Avoid gossip, grudges, and hate—they waste precious time.
Forgive freely and focus on the present.
Call your family, make others smile, and give generously.
Spend time with both the young and the old—they teach us different lessons.
Do the right thing, even when it’s hard.
Remember:
Life changes, and so will your challenges—nothing is permanent.
Start each day with gratitude.
Happiness is an inside job; don’t rely on others for it.
Embrace simplicity, laughter, and love.
Life is short—live it fully, love unconditionally, and cherish every moment.
