Overcoming the downs of life

Life is largely a matter of attitude. Cheerful, optimistic people are less likely to be depressed by the vicissitudes of life or failures.

Someone sent me a meaningful message the other day, stating, “We are not stuck at home. Finally, we are blessed to have a home!”

Suffering throws up challenges which make us resilient and resourceful, provided we take it positively.

Do we give gifts just because we are obligated to do so? Or do we do so because we respect and appreciate the receiver?

Our lives are becoming increasingly more complicated and stressful and we have ourselves to blame, for we are getting addicted to material goods.
