One day, I watched tv and there was this talk show about searching happiness in life. The speaker said that there is only one key to happiness which is being grateful for what we have. I thought, well.. make sense. Then, the other person asked, this was the question, ”Well.. It is easy to say thank you and be grateful when we receive something nice or something good just happened, but how if it is a disaster. How can we say thank you for stuff that we don’t want, for things that annoy us?”
The speaker was smiling. I was curious, what his answer is gonna be. Then the speaker give some illustration, he started by saying, “The things we have in this worlds are just stuff that we borrow from God, so we need to be ready anytime He wants them back.”
He continued,”For instance, your neighbor have two cars. One day, your neighbor plan to go abroad for a month and your neighbor lending you his car since your car is broken from the accident you had last week. And, how you feel? Of course we are super happy, right? (Especially if it’s the new BMW 5series). You will tell your neighbor that you are thankful and you will take good care of his car.”
“Then, a month later, your neighbor is back. You welcome him back, you also give him back the car key and again you say thank you because he lend you his car and you did drove carefully and you even fill the gas back.”
“The point of this story is that what we have is like that car. Things are lent to us and one day those stuffs will be taken back.” The Speaker then again continued while the audience was listening in silence because the way he illustrated it was so clear and amazing. “Being super happy in our life is as simple as that. Be thankful and take a good and positive lesson from whatever happens in our life.”
