Son- Mom how can I achieve lasting happiness and lasting health in life.
Mom-son Nobel truth Gautam Buddha gave to humanity is”Life Has Sufferings and pains.”
Son-Mom how much pain and sufferings is there in the world?
How less is my pain and sufferings compared to them?
Mom-Son it is very difficult to quantify and compare ones pain and sufferings.
I strongly believe that our desires are the greatest source of our pain and sufferings
Son-Mom! the best way to reduce ones suffering and become happy and fit in life
is to manage our desires for money,power and recognition within our means.
Mom-Son! best way to remain happy and healthy in life is to keep experimenting with life
by coming out of ones comfort zone and keep trying new things.
Son-Mom! learning new things at every stage of life reduces ones boredom and gives one
positive energy.
Mom-Son! no one is perfect nor try to force oneself for perfection. It is OK to be human, it is
OK to be selfish and it is OK to even commit errors in life.
Son-Mom! one should keep faith in oneself and God and believe that whatever would happen
would happen for the good. One can never possess the power to control the world and make it
follow ones wish.
Mom-Son! best one just do ones best and leave the rest to God.
Son-Mom!one should accept whatever the world gives to one and count ones blessings in
life
Mom-Son! one should thank world for every single blessings if big or small.
