CHERISH LIFE AND BE HAPPY

So often we try to create our
identity with what we have, with
our possessions and our position,
yet our identity is actually created
by our behavior, by what we do
and more importantly by how we
do what we do. What really
matters is not what you have got
or the position that you hold, but
who you are and how you behave.
We have become a society where
we tend to measure a persons
status by their possessions and
their position. We no longer
measure them by their
contribution to society. This has
created an enormous pressure to
constantly flaunt the trappings of
"success" the material things that
create the impression of status.
Yet the very drive to constantly
acquire the trappings of "success"
creates a problem. The problem of
spending money that you don't
have, to buy things that you don't
need, so that you can impress
people that you don't like.
This leads to constant insecurity,
firstly can I afford these things
and secondly, what if someone
gets something bigger, better,
faster, brighter. You sacrifice your
peace of mind for the illusion of
material comfort and power.
We have to learn to do more with
less. Realise that your personality
is more important than your
possessions. Realise that what you
do is more important than what
you've got. Realise that how you
do what you do is more important
than what you do.
Your actions have a greater
influence on your reputation than
the position you hold or the
possessions you accumulate. The
one thing that you take with you
where ever you go, is you. Make
sure that you are worth taking
along. Realise that all possessions
and positions are transient, here
today gone tomorrow. Think of all
the changes that have already
taken place in your life. The only
constant is "you".
So choose to "Be a 'Human Being'
instead of a 'Human Having'
