I Am a Dreamer!


I am a 21 year old dreamer. When I was still young, I dream to becoming rich someday. Yeah, and I think everyone desires to become rich in one way or the other. This is the reason why we acquire education, we look for jobs and explore new things. However, I realized that that was a stupid dream of mine. Why? Because I thought being rich is the only way I can have to be happy. Well, I though it wrong.

Money is not the answer for everything. I'm not saying that being rich is bad. I don't condemn rich people. I'm not a bitter person. What I am trying to say is that, you don't have to be rich to experience happiness. You can find happiness through simple things. With people around you. People who care for you and love you.

Your wealth will pass away, but the friendship you have with your neighbors, friends and families will stay for a lifetime. I am still dreaming to become rich someday, it's not yet too late I know, but I won't forget special people around me because though them I can find the real happiness of life. Money is nothing without them.

Be Happy! Be Healthy!


Happiness – this is what we all aim for. People can not be happy all the time but we can be contented and fulfilled. According to studies made, happiness is not about acquiring material things but on how you set an outlook in your life and how good your relationship is with other people.

Be optimistic and follow your gut. Having a positive outlook is very important. Yeah, life is hard but for people who are optimistic, life is exciting. Take problems as a challenge to improve your self. Don't be afraid to do what you want. Make choices and take chances or else your life will never change.

Stay close to your family and friends. No happy person is alone. You need the company of your family in order to be happy. True happiness is by having a good relationship with other people especially with your loved ones.

Work and earn money. Love your work and be contented. Earn and buy stuff you want. Nothing is more fulfilling than savoring the fruits of your hardships.

Smile and forgive. Study shows that when you smile, even though you happy or not, your life will be elevated. Don't forget to forgive those who sinned against you. It lessens the pain and it contributes to a better cardiovascular health. These things may also lower the perception of stress.

Make friends with people who share your interests and faith. Go to church regularly and you will find satisfaction. People who go to church are happier than those who do not. It is always good to find someone whom you can talk to about everything.
