Gabriel Kalden says:
being humans....everyone have our own problems
Gabriel Kalden says:
happiest people do not have the least problems
Gabriel Kalden says:
but rather, happiest people learn to be contented even with the tiniest little gd thing they encounter each day
Gabriel Kalden says:
some people have everything but are not happy

abriel Kalden says:
whilst some people have very little...but if they ever get something alittle more, it makes them happy
Gabriel Kalden says:
so i guess its how we learn to treasure every single good moment, if only it is one moment
Gabriel Kalden says:
i try to be happy everyday
Gabriel Kalden says:
by looking at the good moments and treasure them
Gabriel Kalden says:
and let go of any bad moments


Gabriel Kalden says:
yah...in order to be happy, we have to face suffering be it our own or others...with understanding and love
Gabriel Kalden says:
just simply be more mindfil the next time you go thru a difficult episode
Gabriel Kalden says:
instead of reacting try to be aware of what you are going thru
Gabriel Kalden says:
mindful of how the suffering is like
Gabriel Kalden says:
the more you understand how the suffering is like, then your fear will begin to lessen
Gabriel Kalden says:
cos fear comes from lack of understanding
Gabriel Kalden says:
the experience may be painful and we don't wish to have the pain...but we dunt need to fear the pain
Gabriel Kalden says:
it comes and go
Gabriel Kalden says:
like all things in this world
Gabriel Kalden says:
impermanent

Gabriel Kalden says:
just be more aware of yourself
