Take your place on Earth among your fellow man and try to create harmony. Work at first with your family, then within yourself. Peace within yourself is the hardest to achieve. You can feign contentment but the effect of life causes envy and strife.
You wish for a nicer house, better clothes, a bigger car and material possessions for your children, but if you can manage to get to a state of acceptance, you have stepped closer to the ideal.
Wealth can only be measured in love - the exchange of money is irrelevant really. A beggar can be poor, because he has no money, but truly rich because he is content. A wealthy man who shares his money for the good, finds contentment and is truly rich because of it.
Stop, relax, count your blessings and feel the love around you!

Life is a neverending cycle and we are all interdependent.We need each other and we share whatever we have, willingly or unwillingly.
Spiritual Judgement
The more spiritual one learns about oneself from spiritual awareness, the less one judges. It's an amazing inner experience, simply let others be. In any case who are we to judge others.
If Not Now, Then When?
We push ourselves so we can have a better tomorrow. Why can’t we push to have a better today. We work hard so that we will appreciate life in the future.
Here And Now
You cannot change the past. It is written to last. You can learn a lesson. If there is a lesson to be learnt. You cannot change how you feel. Even if it makes others reel. You can plan the future.

Once I used to think that a great job was essential, now I think that a job is only a way to sustain your family. But the most important thing is the family itself! There's nothing in the world that could be compared to love! And a family is the pure fruit of the love!@crowncottage
