Be Happy and Contented!

The mystic poet Bharathiyar sings

‘naan ikkanam puthithai piranthaen endru iru’ - Lead life as if you are born every moment.

‘naan puthiyavan, naan kadavul endru iru’ - Lead life as God will.

‘nitham nitham nenjinil kavalaigalal kumaiyathe’ - Do not wear out your heart with unnecessary fears.

Even if you have to die the next minute, you must die happy in the knowledge that you have led a full life. He who is ready to pack off the next minute happily, will enjoy life to the fullest every minute.

You must be satisfied with life. You must be contented. If you keep worrying about what to do next, you will never taste happiness.

You count the blessings of life, only when you are thrust deep into problems. Till you encounter sorrow, you never understand the joys that God has blessed you with.
