There are a few things in life which we don’t choose because we’re born with them. For example, place of birth, race, color of the skin, religion or belief, nationality, name, parents etc.

And, there are a lot of things we which can choose, as we grow up and begin to see life differently. We can change our character and improve our self in education, attitude and behavior. We can improve our looks by keeping an exercise routine and healthy diet. We can choose to be A Giver, a compassionate person, a loving-kind individual, who’s always ready to give a helping hand to the one who needs that, offering a one- time meal to the hungry. It’s our choice to leave the chair for elderly, let the lady go first and hold the door for her. It doesn’t take a million bucks to smile first when eyes meet eyes on the way to work. It feels good to say, ‘Ni hao’,’ Hello’, ‘Good Morning’ to a stranger.

Happiness, right? You’re looking for happiness. We all are. Happiness lies in giving. Give what you can. It comes back in abundance. if not immediately, but soon. most things do not cost money, but words and kind actions, just little bit loving gestures, a touch, a hugs, a smile, saying what you want to hear….it’s simple. It’s just a matter of choice.

Drop the ego. It stops the life, coming to you.

Your nationality, skin color, your faith and religion, the clothes you wear, the car you drive, the house you live in, the money in your bank are also important. But You! You’re above all that. You are precious! Choose humility. It is remembered when we leave here.

Peace!
