Appreciate The Simple Things

It's That Simple

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 5 months ago 1 min read
How many of us are homeless?

“Be happy with the little you have.

There are some people with nothing

who still manage to smile.”

This always amazes me.

So many others may have lost so much,

maybe living in a war-torn country,

and yet they manage to smile and stay cheerful.

They are an example to us!

Contentment

is the quality which comes to mind.

The questions is:

“Can you and I

be happy and content

with what we have now?”

When we think

about the “life” we have

compared to others,

we do become grateful.

What we want out of life

affects our view of this.

Sometimes it is better

to appreciate the simple things in life

and this does

improve our mental health.

Happiness is a state of mind,

and this will bring

joy, resilience and peace

into our lives.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
