The Four Elements of A Well Rounded Life

Tweet

Happiness -The secret of happiness is finding those positive things that make you feel good. Family and work are two that usually come up first in your mind. But to have a well rounded life you have to be happy inside as well as out. What makes you happy? For me it learning new things and a strength within that keeps me solid even when I am depressed. Contentment- The definition for contentment is 'satisfaction'. Are we happy with the decisions and roads our lives have taken? If you approach your life with humility and seek knowledge the availability of contentment will always be there. The grateful heart is the beginning of your own greatness. Be thankful for what you have. Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart. Good Friends- Loving and giving ourselves to our friends is an act of faith. A friend is one to whom one can pour out all the contents of ones heart, chaff and grain together knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keeping what is worth keeping, and, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away. Good Food-The best recipes are done with love. The ones mom made. Good food is not only what we eat but how we eat and who we eat with. Eating mindfully and making it special will make it taste all the better.
