life.. many people want a good life, rich life or happy life.. but if you think within yourself, what else really matters? for me, ofcourse i want a good life or rich life.. im just thinking sometimes, so what if i achieve it, what's next? am i contented? eventhough i dont have the life that i want AS FOR NOW, im already contented. as for now means im still workng for the life i want but that doesnt mean im not contented.. im contented if im leaving alone in this world but i have a parents, siblings, nieces/nephews, relatives and friends that i want to uplift. in general, i just realized that all we do in this world are like a SAVINGS/TICKETS to the place we really want to go, in HEAVEN. so, i want a life that may lead me to heaven. difficult? yes it is because we're are still fighting in many aspect of life i.e. temptations, struggles, etc, but the good thing is, WE CAN. and GOD is always there to guide us, waiting for us to finally come HOME.

I don't believe in god at all.. strangely though as some people around me say, because I do have everything I want and need, and I share everything I can with others. I never kept back from sharing but everything and even more always returned to me. So I don't need anything more, I don't want anything more, I feel happy, at peace and going the right way, and I always keep sharing. I don't know if it's just me but strangely..it works.. sharing comes back doubled and really makes me feel good about myself.

We were told when we were young that we have to learn to sacrifice. And that meant we don't need to live abundantly. I was caged in that mindset. Until I have learned of the facts of life. God never wanted us to sacrifice. We were made to enjoy his blessings. Sacrifice now has a different meaning for me. But this discussion is not about sacrifice but about what lies ahead of us. So God wants us to live in His abundant blessing. There is no more need to fear having a better and richer life. As long as we are prepared to share what we have, we will live in abundance. We all have our own purpose in life, that is why God wanted us to be rich so we can serve our purpose and that is to be of service to one another.God's blessings is all served, we just need to go and get our share. What lies ahead is a better life for each and everyone of us.

I think we all want good and happy rich lives but I do not think there is a defining moment where we can say that we have achieved that. The more we have the more we tend to want so while right now I feel what I want is to own a home of my own in a area that is safe to raise my children and that is all I need to be happy in life when I do reach that goal there inevitable will be another on to follow and so on for the rest of our life. If the day comes where there is no goal you wish to obtain I think life would ultimately be a miserable existence.
